About the neighborhood

Set above downtown Baraboo, Balsam House puts local coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, and bars within walking distance. You can make a day of exploring Circus World, following the Baraboo Riverwalk, or visiting Ochsner Park Zoo, then head back for a hot tub soak with views of town and the bluffs. For a bigger outdoor adventure, Devil’s Lake State Park offers hiking and lake time nearby; Wisconsin Dells is another option for a day trip.

Getting around

Walking works well for downtown Baraboo and nearby local attractions, though the hillside setting means you should expect some slopes. A car is the easiest way to visit Devil’s Lake State Park, Wisconsin Dells, Cascade Mountain, and other destinations beyond town. If Devil’s Lake is on your itinerary during a summer or fall weekend, leave early: its parking areas can fill quickly.
