Water parks by day, quiet by night.
Noah's Ark and the big water parks are minutes away. Hickory Hill is the quiet part: five private acres, a deck in the trees and six real bedrooms for tired kids.
Why it works.
Close to everything
About 8 minutes to downtown Dells, and a short drive on to the Lake Delton water parks.
Room for everyone
Six bedrooms and 3.5 baths for up to 8, plus a washer and dryer for wet swimsuits.
Then it's quiet
Five private acres, no neighbors in sight and a fire pit for the end of the day.
