The space
Driftless Creek offers light-filled, clean-lines, full-amenity modern cabins, each private from the other, nestled in the woods, a 15 minute drive from Viroqua. Down a scenic dirt road, and up a private driveway, you will enter our 75 acres of ridgetop forest between two spring-fed streams. We offer almost 2 miles of trails on property for hiking, mountain-biking, or snow-shoeing. Adjacent state natural areas on 3 sides enhance the remote wilderness feeling. The quiet is restorative and the dark nights are perfect for star-gazing. This really might be the place where you pick up a book or a well-maintained ukulele or guitar we provide, or let the hours go by in a hammock on the screened porch. We are known for top-quality comfort, including memory foam mattresses with 100% cotton and down bedding, glass and tile showers with a heated bathroom fan, Jøtul wood stoves inside and fire rings outside with seasoned firewood at the ready, and heating and cooling options that keep you cozy no matter the season. Our wifi is network grade. Our water is sourced from a deep well and filtered. And our kitchens are stocked with everything you need, including a dishwasher, coffee maker, coffee grinder, and local coffee beans. Our cabins are sparkling clean and we guarantee that everything on premises is fully operational. Driftless Creek offers a place for you to gather yourself, your family, your friends, and even your pets, surrounded by the abundance and peace of nature and all that the area has to offer. Whether it is the beautiful rolling hills, the trout streams, the inspired food offerings, or the charming towns, we look forward to hosting you in the Driftless area of Wisconsin.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire property, including our almost 2 miles of hiking / mountain biking / snowshoe trails.

Other things to note
We have feverishly been building hiking/mountain biking/snowshoe trails and have about 1.5 miles completed. The trails begin directly behind the cabin. A trail map will be waiting for you inside the cabin when you arrive.

A refrigerator, cooktop, dishwasher and microwave are located in the kitchen, and a European style washer/dryer in the bath. Dishes, cooking supplies and a coffee maker / grinder are available.

A Weber gas grill is available for your use on the front porch.

We have commercial grade WIFI, with fiber optic cable run to the property. 100Mbit downloads so no issues with streaming your favorite movies or videoconferencing. There is no TV in the cabin.

There is a private bedroom with a queen size bed on the first floor, and a loft with both a king and twin bed.

The large screened in porch is accessible via the side door and has additional seating and a table and chairs for outdoor dining.

Bed linens, towels and extra blankets are provided.

The cabin is shaded and a ceiling fan provides cooling in the summer. There is also a high capacity window AC unit for your comfort if preferred.

We love our canine friends, and your dog is welcome and will enjoy walking on the trails. (2 dogs max)

Note -- We plow and salt our private drive immediately after snowfalls but all-wheel drive or a 4x4 vehicles can be helpful in the winter as the driveway is steep and the cabin is on top of a ridge.

Neighborhood highlights

We are located on a wooded 75 acre property surrounded by 300 acres of protected public land with two Wisconsin DNR Class 1 trout streams (Tainter and Mcgraw creeks), filled with Brook and Brown trout. We have over a mile of hiking trails on the property for hiking, biking or snowshoeing.

The cabin is at the top of a steep private drive, 1/2 mile from the public road (Tainter Road). We have two other cabins on our property, all very private and not visible to each other. Expect it to be very quiet, and very dark with views of the stars at night. Our closest neighbor is a mile away.

My family and I moved to Viroqua a few years ago from the Milwaukee area after deciding it was time to do something new. We are currently developing a retreat center a little ways outside of town and hope to be able to share a little of what attracted us to this beautiful place with you.
