For the most current outdoor recreational & community information please visit The Skillet Creek Journal at www.skilletcreekjournal.com.   We also have a pretty darn active Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/skilletcreek and Facebook page as well.  So while we won’t be blogging here at WisDells.net any longer, it’s simply because we’ve got stuff going on all over the place!!   Did I mention the Devil’s Lake State Park Blog?

On thing about being a photographer, I still get to see what the rooms look like in Wisconsin Dells Hotels.  Well, occasionally anyway.  I thought I’d share this shot from the Atlantis.

I’m making a few changes here at WisDells.net for the new year mostly to bring WisDells.net in line with the rest of the guides in the network (BarabooNow.com, DevilsLakeWisconsin.net, MirrorLakeWisconsin.com). After the way 2008 was going what with the floods and the sudden disappearance of Lake Delton it just seemed like it was time for a little “Out with the Old” treatment.  Like many of us in the Wisconsin Dells area, I’m just looking forward to a new season.  This year we are going to head just a be more off the beaten path and focus on the natural beauty of the area.  Nature offers so many benifits to a family vacation it’s hard to name them all.  One thing that comes to mind this year more than most is that exploring the great outdoors is often much less expensive.  Anyway, we’ll talk more about that as the 2009 progresses.  As always, thank you choosing WisDells.net, “My little dells guide”.

Here’s another great option for lodging in Wisconsin Dells.  Sunset Bay Resort is located on the former (and soon to be again) Lake Delton.  The resort is located just a few blocks off the main strip, nestled in a beautiful cover of old pine forest. They have indoor and outdoor pools, play areas and much more but you can read about that at their newly updated website.   Just Click Here.

If you’ve never stayed at one of the many vacation homes in the area you may be missing a great alternative to the big motels.  It all depends what you are looking for.  When we think of vacation homes we often think of  "high-end" real estate that many of us could never afford.  However, if you snoop around a bit you’ll find some wonderful little rural retreats and bed & breakfast inns all around the Wisconsin Dells area. and many are quite affordable  The newly opened Old Century Farm House is one nice example of a rural vacation home that offers real peace and quiet in the Wisconsin countryside while still being only minutes from Wisconsin Dells.

If you are looking for a bit of pampering while getting away from it all you should check out Antiques And Lace Bed & Breakfast. When I first went to Antiques and Lace to take some photographs I was floored by their classy themed rooms, artwork and general atmosphere.  Besides where else in the Wisconsin Dells area can you take a peddle boat out on a quiet country pond and feel like you have the world all to yourself?!
