We had a wonderful extended weekend at the cabin. The property was beautiful! My children loved playing in the snow.

Dan was a great host and answered any and all questions. Beautiful log home, with everything you need for a great stay. Everyone enjoyed hiking around the property, having a nice outdoor fire by the creek. Kids loved the movie theater (great room) and to see all the chickens. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you for sharing your vacation home and property.

What a great place! All the amenities we could have asked for. The cabin was warm and cozy for our Thanksgiving get away. We were disappointed that we came when it was so cold, as we would have loved to sit on that fabulous wrap a round porch! It was so serene even though it was so close to town. Dan is a great communicator, and that is always so helpful. We loved having the great room. It would be an awesome place to bring kids. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. Loved having a full bath and master on each floor. The Bonus was being able to bring the dog! Thanks Dan, for everything!

This house and property are beautiful! Plenty of space for playing indoor and outdoor games. The seclusion makes it an ideal escape but anything you might need is minutes away.
This family of 5, plus 2 dogs, will be back!

Stayed a long weekend with my brother as we like to connect once/year at a spot somewhere between us in SW WI (I am in the Twin Cities, he is in Chicago). This is a fabulous house & property in the Driftless area which affords great privacy, all the conviences we have come to expect, and in a perfect location/setting. The house is situated well back from any neighbors with great views of the property. Inside the house is spacious, well maintained, comfortable, quiet and clean. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything we needed plus more. Plenty of hiking trails nearby and Richland Center had everything we needed be it shopping, restaurants, etc. If you are looking for a spot to get away to this is the place to pick. Before we left I asked my brother how many stars he would give it and without hesitation he said 5 stars & I fully agree. Thanks for letting us stay and we look forward to returning sometime in the future.

Enjoy a private relaxing stay with family including our dog. Loved the deck/porch for relaxing and watching the night sky. Would be fun to come back in the winter and enjoy your own private sledding hill just steps from the front door! Beautiful firplace would be nice to warm up by. Enjoyed that there was plenty of space for everyone and the greatroom was wonderful for everyone to enjoy a movie or a game.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Property is well kept and clean! Kitchen was stocked well enough for our use and plenty of comfy seating! It was a bit too hot to spend much time outdoors during our stay but we did see some deer passing through the field one morning. No complaints! Couple recommendations for future travelers, bring extra bath towels & wash clothes as well as extra paper towel & toilet paper, For anything else you may need, there is a Walmart just 10 minutes down the road and several excellent restaurants nearby.

We were looking for a short getaway before the kids went back to school- Our first priority was somewhere we could take our dogs with us and second- somewhere not to far of a drive for us- This place fit the bill perfectly. The cabin itself was charming with a perfect touch of modern and quaint.
The property was perfect for my beagle to wander and sniff all things nature. We even saw three deer one morning.
Not much to do around the area but we spent our time connecting as a family, playing games, reading and just hanging out.
The host was responsive and provided clear instructions.
We enjoyed the Driftless Escape!

My family really enjoyed our stay! We had a lot of fun and quality time together. The home and property are beautiful. Sitting on the large deck first thing in the morning looking out at the pretty view, watching the grandchildren run and play during the day, and looking up at the stars in the evening was just what we were looking for as our getaway this year.

This was the perfect cabin for our family to get away for a few days to relax. The property was equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Everything was perfectly clean and ready to go at our arrival. Property manager was prompt to reply with any questions. 2 thumbs up!

We really enjoyed our weekend stay. Plenty of space inside and out. The property was clean and well maintained. The family room had plenty of space and great views. The fire pit next to the stream was very relaxing. Loved this place

Amazing cabin in a location picturesque. The cabin is at the end of a long gravel driveway with no view of neighbors. Several acres surrounding the cabin have nicely cut grass. Our dogs had a blast running around without fear of ticks or brier bush. Beyond the cut grass were acres upon acres of grassy field. The larger of our two dogs had no problem moving though it while I explored the valleys. The views there are simply breathtaking. Wildlife is abundant. We saw hawks and turkeys daily. On our last day, a group of five deer meandered through the fields a couple of times and came right by the cabin. Inside the cabin, you'll find it to be inviting, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is well appointed with modern appliances. The king-size bed was very comfortable. The wrap-around deck offers a comfortable spot regardless of wind direction or sun location. The owner, Dan, was very quick to respond to questions. Instructions and check-in/check-out were easy and clear. With just a little research, I found dozens of things to see and do in the driftless area. I can't say enough good things about this place. I highly recommend anyone to stay here and I hope to be back eventually.

This cabin is top notch! It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the beautiful area of Wisconsin!

This was our second stay at this lovely spotlessly clean cabin with its beautiful meadow views. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed being able to sit on the deck which offers views in three directions and watch the stars and wildlife. This stay was timed well for the Perseids meteor shower and we were treated to several sightings each night. We made a journey over to Cedar Grove cheese factory and into town to The Meat Locker for absolutely wonderful steaks.

Had a quick, 2 night stay and really enjoyed it. The entire place was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked and its location is handy for checking out the different towns in the area.
The balcony was great for having coffee in the morning and the fire pit was a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day.

Get Away From It All - Cabin Retreat
The cabin was everything we were looking for...a peaceful setting in the country, surrounded by hills and wildlife. The wrap around porch was a great place for morning coffee and evening cocktails, and the covered portion provided excellent seats for watching a rainstorm and listening to the thunder echoing in the hills. The lack of significant light pollution made for great viewing of stars and the July "buck" moon.
We found the cabin to be accurate as pictured and described, with plenty of room. Check in and communication with owner was problem-free and responsive.
When not at the cabin, we enjoyed the country roads around the area that provided many beautiful, scenic convertible rides. We liked ours stops at the nearby Pier County Park and Natural Bridge and short trail, as well as the swinging bridge in Richland Center.
Everyone enjoyed our stay there, and I definitely would consider renting it again.

Amazing getaway for our family
We had an amazing time getting to unplug from all electronic devices (there's wifi), but with the great scenic outdoors we were blessed to unplug and relax. Very spacious cabin.

This cabin is beautiful and spacious. You could easily have a family of 8 stay here with plenty of room. On this cabin trip, it was just two of us and our dog.
We enjoyed seeing the deer out playing in the long grass and the beautiful humming bird that flew around the tv room window. We walked around the acreage exploring with our dog and only wished there was a cut path to walk on instead of the long grass, as I was worried about ticks...but no ticks on us or the dog 😊.
We grilled out every night on the charcoal grill.
I definitely recommend staying at this property. Suggestions for those of you who stay here:
Make sure you bring extra towels (if there is more than 2 of you) bug spray, hand soap, dishwasher soap and firewood (for the firpit) and lawn chairs.

My husband and I and our dog returned for a second visit. Still peaceful and quiet, with many spring birds passing through and nesting along the creek. We had some campfires, saw a deer, and took the dog exploring everywhere. Clean and comfortable. Hopefully we will get back for a third visit.

Instead of worrying about the rainy March weather during the week of our stay, we relaxed and enjoyed a peaceful stay in a wonderful cabin. The cabin was spacious, so some could watch a movie in the family room while others relaxed in the main living room. The beds were good. We really felt comfortable and right at home. Thank you very much.

Wonderful get-away
Stayed with spouse and mom and energetic dog. Fantastic running and exploring pastures, woods and creek for the dog. Very quiet and private in a valley. Inside was great fireplace, beautiful architecture, clean and stocked kitchen, lovely views. Upstairs was perfect suite for mom, and our room down stairs was completely comfortable. Great room was a bonus for card games etc. And movies. Bring your own DVDs if you don't care for modern films. Due to remote location, over the air channels are spotty, but, tv really isn't necessary here, leave it at home and spend time together. Walmart within 10 minutes for quick purchase. We will be back. Thanks so much!

The land is gorgeous, cabin is beautiful and has a good layout with plenty of space. It's close to a winery, restaurants & Walmart. What fell short could easily be updated to provide a 5 star experience. Provide more than 1 towel per bathroom, don't require guests to bring their own toilet paper, provide kitchen towels to dry dishes and cleaners for counter/stove. Replace stove since door is broken and only closes with make shift latch and the burners aren't the best. Updated pots & pans and heat pads would also make a difference. Last thing, not sure if it was time of year but we killed 30+ flies in the cabin over 3 days but there were fly swatters in almost every room so seems like something owner is aware of.

Soon to be 5+ place
Beautiful spacious log house. We enjoyed our seven turkeys, three deer and blue birds visiting daily. We didn’t enjoy so much the owls at night chatting since we had our cat with us outside. But we kept a ‘short lease’ on her.
With a little more work and organization this place will be a five plus star place!!!

The log cabin was very nice. Inside was clean and we found everything we needed to make our short stay enjoyable. We were happy to be able to bring our elderly dog that we were uncomfortable leaving behind. The property is beautiful and very quiet but close to town. Hope to have a longer visit when we visit family.
