The Rookery is a 4-bedroom, mid-century family home. John Turner built it for his growing family in 1949. His business was oil. There is still a Turner Oil Station on Highway 12. Many of the local residents still remember playing in the house as children. It was built with all the modern conveniences of the time, and has a spacious yet cozy feel. You'll find 4 bedrooms in the upstairs level: The master bedroom is an elegant room with a king-sized 4 poster bed, a cozy chair for reading, a huge closet, and a large chifferobe. The next room is a spacious queen room with a sleigh bed, vanity, large closet, and another beautiful chifferobe. Next is the twin room. It's perfect for kids or for those who prefer their own bed. Facing the back yard, this quiet room has 2 comfortable maple twin beds, and a large closet. The last bedroom is another queen room. It's cozy, quiet, and oh, so comfortable. Facing the east, it overlooks the large back yard, and greets you with a sunny "good morning." There is also a bathroom with tub and shower, vanity, and double sink. The main floor consists of a large living room with a gas fireplace, a formal dining room, cheery breakfast nook, fabulous mid-century kitchen, and a relaxing three-season sunroom. There is a video camera located outdoors. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Smoking is allowed outside the house. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall ### Things to do - Gym - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22610000/22600900/22600886/48632b1d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Downtown Baraboo Blu-Mae Marie Folk House Baraboo - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 98 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=22600886&PinnedHotelID=22600886&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![3 bedrooms, desk, iron/ironing board, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116570000/116566500/116566492/w4284h5134x0y0-faf79488.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Wis Dells & Devil’s Lake Circus World Stay in Baraboo!
