4 Trending Rentals in Wisconsin That People Book on Repeat (And We See Why)

To me, any chance to get away to my northern neighbor is a good weekend. As a Chicagoan, there is nothing that gets me more excited than a chance to head up north and escape to one of these trending vacation rentals in Wisconsin. Whether I’m sweating it out in a sauna or sitting around the fire pit roasting marshmallows, these vacation rentals in Wisconsin are some of the best opportunities to disconnect for a little while.

1. Bird House - Cascade

I recently went on a trip to Norway, and ever since then, I’ve been seeking out homes with Scandinavian-style designs. The Bird House in Cascade, Wisconsin, is perfect for a touch of Scandinavian hygge. This two-bedroom home is complete with a hot tub, sauna, fire pit, a Norwegian Jøtul gas fireplace, and more. The property is situated on five private acres, so you’ll feel truly isolated from the outside world. Whether it’s a snowy winter day or the leaves are turning in autumn, you’ll love a getaway to this sleek and modern home.

2. Black Sheep Cabin - Wisconsin Dells

Located just minutes from the famous Wisconsin Dells, the Black Sheep Cabin is an ideal retreat for small groups. This two-bedroom cabin effortlessly blends a contemporary aesthetic with the surrounding woods. I particularly love the cushiony, birdcage-like swing on the outdoor deck. Another highlight is the private sauna. Imagine watching snow fall as you sit cozy inside the heat, working up that good, healthy sweat. Additionally, guests have access to a full kitchen, fire pit, and they are a short drive away from all the fun that the Wisconsin Dells has to offer.

3. Sölveig Stay - South Range

As I’ve traveled around the world, I’ve noticed that shipping containers are becoming an increasingly popular option for short-term rentals. The Sölveig Stay is a shipping container located in South Range, Wisconsin, deep in the North Woods. Located just a half mile away from Lake Superior, it's a Nordic-inspired one-bedroom home that is the perfect answer for couples looking for a romantic retreat. Of course, with any Nordic-inspired stay, you’ll need a sauna, and this home doesn’t disappoint. Plus, visitors can enjoy a fireplace, a deck with a fire pit and an outdoor heater, and a full kitchen.

4. Wolf Creek Luxury Eco-Tiny Home - St. Croix Falls

One of my favorite ways to travel is staying in luxury tiny homes. There’s something appealing about a beautiful home that’s been made compact. The Wolf Creek Luxury Eco-Tiny Home in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, is just that. With a lofted primary bedroom, guests can enjoy all the comforts of a full-sized home. A particular highlight is the back deck, which offers expansive views of the surrounding woodlands. Plus, visitors can enjoy a private sauna, outdoor fire pit, a small kitchen, and a wood-burning stove. 

Each of these trending rentals in Wisconsin offers something special. From unwinding in a hot tub to enjoying the peacefulness of a Scandinavian sauna, there's no better way to step away from your busy life and relax. Feeling inspired?
