Welcome to Sandstone Rustic Retreat – A Place to Reconnect: Nestled just minutes from the bustle of Wisconsin Dells, Sandstone Rustic Retreat was created as a quiet escape — a place where simplicity, nature, and meaningful connection take center stage. This isn’t your typical vacation spot. It’s a thoughtfully designed retreat for couples, close friends, and small groups who crave something different: the chance to unwind in seclusion, recharge in comfort, and enjoy the kind of peace that only nature can offer. We didn’t build Sandstone to be a commercial resort. We built it to feel personal. After years in hospitality and education, and following a deeply personal loss, we were driven to create a space where people could breathe, reflect, and celebrate life’s important moments. Every cabin, every trail, and every gathering space was designed with purpose — blending rustic charm with refined touches, all nestled among sandstone cliffs and towering pines. Our accommodations include cozy, modern-rustic cabins and mirrored glamping domes — perfect for romantic weekends, quiet solo retreats, or catching up with your favorite people. Each space is tucked into its own private setting to ensure your stay feels serene and unhurried. We’ve kept the amenities simple but intentional — a blend of natural textures, comfortable finishes, and warm touches that make you feel at home without distraction. Sandstone was created for people who want to get away without going far. Our guests are often hardworking couples, parents taking a much-needed breather, small friend groups reconnecting, and those celebrating milestones in an intimate, authentic way. Whether you're toasting by the firepit under the stars, kayaking along the quiet stretches of the Wisconsin River, or hiking a private canyon trail in the early morning fog — this place is designed to help you slow down and soak it in. We also host weddings, retreats, and private events for those seeking a venue that feels intentional and unforgettable. With our canyon-view ceremony deck, Gathering House, and exclusive group rentals, your special weekend can unfold with ease, privacy, and charm — far from the crowds but close enough for your guests to access with ease. At Sandstone, we believe luxury is found in stillness, in space, and in experience — not in excess. We welcome those who value quality time, natural beauty, and a little off-grid magic. This is your place to unplug, celebrate, reflect, and just be. Whether you're joining us for a single night or planning a meaningful event, Sandstone is more than a stay — it's a feeling. And we can’t wait to share it with you.
