Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Baraboo
A quieter Baraboo base with its own indoor pool
About this hotel
Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Baraboo sits away from the busiest part of the Wisconsin Dells strip, closer to Devil's Lake State Park country than to Noah's Ark itself, which makes it the pick for a family who wants a calmer evening after a full water park day. The fitness centre, indoor swimming pool and hot tub give parents a genuine wellness option rather than a basic amenity, and guests specifically call out the room cleanliness and attentive staff. Wilderness Resort sits sixteen kilometres away and the Mid-Continent Railway Museum twelve kilometres out, giving the stay a non-water day option if the trip runs longer than a weekend. Couples rate the location well too, a useful sign for a mixed-generation group.
- Baraboo location
- Fitness centre and indoor pool
- Near Devil's Lake State Park
Our take
The right pick for families who want their evenings away from the Dells' busiest strip, with a genuine fitness centre and indoor pool rather than a basic amenity. It suits a multi-night trip that mixes water park days with quieter Baraboo time. Families who want to walk to Noah's Ark itself should book a Lake Delton property closer to the park instead.
- ✓Book this Baraboo base if you want distance from the Dells strip at night, not if you plan to walk to Noah's Ark.
- ✓Add a Mid-Continent Railway Museum stop, twelve kilometres away, for a non-water day that still feels like part of the trip.
- ✓Reserve early for the fitness centre and hot tub during peak weekends, since Baraboo properties book out fast too.
Why we love it
- Genuine fitness centre
- Indoor pool and hot tub
- Quieter Baraboo setting
- Attentive staff, per guests
Why guests love itChoosing Baraboo over a Lake Delton hotel meant a genuinely quieter evening after a loud, crowded day at the water parks, and the indoor pool and hot tub here felt like an actual wellness stop rather than an afterthought. The fitness centre saw real use, which isn't always the case on a family trip. It's not the base for anyone wanting to walk to Noah's Ark, but for a family splitting the trip between water parks and Devil's Lake State Park, it's a genuinely comfortable middle ground.
