Woodland Ridge Retreat is located in the rural village of Downsville, Wisconsin just a few blocks from the Red Cedar State Bicycle Trail.

Walls of windows fill the interior spaces with views looking out on the woodlands and private garden courtyard

s. Handmade tiles, from Dunn County Pottery, feature leaves of native trees and add a special touch to each guest room. Our facility is open 44 weeks per year offering deluxe accommodations, including eight large, quiet guest rooms, a whirlpool bathtub and separate shower in every room, comfortable full-sized beds. Each guest room can comfortably sleep three guest per room for a total of 24 guests. The facility is on one level with ADA accessible guest accommodations. The building features two Garden Rooms or gathering rooms. Each garden room can accommodate up to 12 guests, for a total of 24, at individual workspaces. Solid surface worktables are adjustable in height so each guest will have a workspace that is suited to their stature. Whether you enjoy sewing, scrapbooking or any other creative endeavor we have a comfortable spot for you. Join us for a class or gather your favorite friends together to work on projects of your own.

Yay!! Renovations are finally finished! We started work at Woodland Ridge Retreat in November. I am happy to report that yesterday we finished everything!!! It’s so gorgeous!

Here’s what we accomplished:
- Bathtub replaced with a beautiful new, handmade to match, concrete surface and cast iron bathtub. The work was done by my very talented neighbors Drew and Al.

- All carpets and linoleum floors were removed from public areas.

- The retreat crew put a fresh coat of paint on both hallways and laundry room. Drew repaired drywall where plumbing was repaired, painted the kitchen and pantry areas.

- Plumbing repairs in kitchen were completed in phases, starting with digging up a bit of concrete to fix a leak. Later we added plumbing for a new commercial dishwasher. Sinks were removed to make way for a new floor. I replaced all the gaskets on the drain levers to stop a chronic leak.

- New carpets in the hallways

- LVT in workrooms, part of the hallway, pantry and laundry

- Epoxy floor and baseboards installed in kitchen area.

We will be closed tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.
