The Ranger Station is a great place to stay when visiting West Bend. The location gives privacy at night but located in a park with many available daytime activities. Close to numerous stores for any needed items. Also close to Old Downtown, an easily wallable area with many stores and great restaurants. It was our second time renting and will definitely rent here again.
Everything about the stay was good, although the instructions for how to find the house were confusing as the house was inside a park with other buildings with the same address. I also suggest including contact phone numbers on the advance instructions. Since no numbers were provided in advance, I emailed to get a phone number just in case and none was provided.
My wedding party and I stayed here the night before my wedding, and they stayed the night after as well. The place is huge, clean, and easy to access.
Perfect for any size family or group and will definitely be staying again!
This was our 4th visit to the Ranger House, and we will be back next year! We come to visit family , bringing family with us.
And have enjoyed every visit.
We needed a place for several family members to stay while attending our daughter’s wedding in the area. The place was perfect for what we needed. It was as described and very easy to access and well equipped.
We rented this for our wedding weekend. We had some family coming in from out of town. The place was amazing. Super clean and comfortable! Will definitely recommend!
The entire house could use a facelift, but functionally I couldn't ask for more at that price. The location was spectacular.

Great family get away
The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking kettles etc. The beds comfortable. It was a perfect gathering place for us. Privacy in the bedrooms and good group gathering space in the kitchen living room.

Nice secluded place
Great place. The only thing I'd say negatively would be that it would have been nice to have some salt and paper products - napkins, paper towels etc.
Three bed cabin, clean and comfortable. Well appointed kitchen, 2 full and 1 half bath. Nice park location. Grocery store is just 5 minutes away. Dog park on site.
A wonderful and quiet place to relax and unwind. The home is clean and spacious, with a large outdoor wooded yard. Convenient to West Bend and all the amenities of the county park. Our pup also loved being close to the dog park where she met many new friends.
We loved our stay!! The house was huge and so clean, perfect for us. The beds were comfortable & literally everything you could need was stocked. The setting of the house was absolutely beautiful and private. The pictures do not do this one justice, it’s even better in person.
This ranger house is in a beautiful location and with 2.5 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms plus extra space, it is perfect for a family or group. Everything was very clean. The location in the park/woods is lovely. Our only issues were that there was no dish soap or dishwasher soap left for us.

About the host
Hosted by Sophia
Washington County Parks Department owns and operates this 267-acre park. The Sandy Knoll Ranger House was constructed in 1975 for the purpose of housing the resident ranger and family.
Why they chose this property
The long-time resident ranger recently retired making this property available. Washington County hopes that visitors will continue to enjoy the many benefits of staying in the charming house. Use the ranger house as a base camp for hiking, bird watching, skiing, golfing, fishing, geocaching, snowmobiling, or just relaxing in Sandy Knoll County Park.
What makes this property unique
This quaint, secluded ranger house is located on the southern part of a large 267-acre county park. You will enjoy all seasons visiting this gorgeous property. The county park closes (to everyone except ranger house occupants) at 9:00 pm. Enjoy the absolute silence at a backyard campfire or stargazing into the wee hours of the night.
