About this cabin rental
Get away from it all (note: there is no WiFi—try it and you might like it) at this cozy 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom Amish-built log cabin tucked away above the Kickapoo River in the Driftless Area of Southwestern Wisconsin.
The cabin is conveniently located off state highway 131, with Elk Creek- a Class-A trout stream- just minutes away. Mowed trails alongside the creek offer easy access for fishing or a relaxing nature walk.
The River View Retreat boasts a near-hemispheric view of the river, valley and hills that make the Driftless so unique, including a dramatic 180-degree bend in the river.
Take a walk on the maintained grass trails on property, or for the more adventurous head up the hillside to walk one of the many deer trails carved out over years.
Relax and dine in the screened-in rear porch while enjoying the magnificent views and bird watching. Other amenities include a covered front porch, a stocked fire pit in the backyard, a gas grill and satellite TV. Large skylights in each bedroom impress with breathtaking views of the sky above and the river below.

Four of us stayed at the cabin for three days to hike and kayak the area. The cabin was well-stocked, comfortable, and the perfect size for the adult getaway. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch - a beautiful view of the rolling hills. We had meals and watched the sunset from the porch. The cabin was clean, well equipped with cooking items, and useful materials were provided to look at about the area. The host communicated quickly and was easy to work with. We wanted to stay longer and will definitely come back often.

Needed a place to unplug and relax, and this cabin was perfect! So clean and well-cared for, the property had everything I needed and no clutter to distract from the experience. Easy drive to Cashton for Amish shopping, and just down the road from great hiking at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve. I could have stayed on that screen porch for a few more days!

We loved our time here! Love sitting outside in the morning and evening listening to all the birds. Loved sitting around the campfire at night (wood, lighters, and smores sticks were all provided...so convenient!). Loved walking the short mowed trails in the trees on the property. So relaxing! Enough activities nearby to enjoy (canoeing was our favorite) but also a great place to just relax. The cabin was stocked with all the little things (trashbags, paper towels, salt, etc), which is a small thing but so nice to not have to buy all those little essential items. Chad was quick to answer questions via text, like where the closest grocery store is or if there is horseriding in the area. Just fyi, make sure you note that there is no washer and dryer in the cabin, but there is a laundry mat very close. We would still chose to stay there again, just something to make sure you plan for. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing spot to spend a few days.
