About this cabin rental

The Arcadian Cabin at Bishop Branch Creek

Constructed in the summer of 2017, Arcadian Cabin’s location in the Driftless Area of Southwestern Wisconsin manifests a true park-like atmosphere. Both Crystal Creek and Bishop Branch Creek, are located steps off of the covered deck. The property (3+ acres) boasts a yard perfect for campfires (firewood provided), stargazing, lawn games, or just lounging and relaxing. Additionally, 58 acres of public land adjacent to the property is available for hiking, fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, bird watching, and other outdoor activities - no need to drive, these activities are all accessible on-site as soon as you walk out the front door.

At the end of the day, the 16’x28’ cabin which boasts an 18-foot tall ceiling in the main room will welcome you and up to five additional guests (sleeps six). The two bedrooms, bathroom, full kitchen, electric heat, bathtub and shower, electric appliances, Satellite TV, WiFi, a storage shed for your use, and many other features will make your stay enjoyable and stress-free.

The location of The Arcadian is ideal for any traveler’s needs. Viroqua, the county seat of Vernon County, is less than 5 miles away and has numerous shops, festivals, a challenging golf course, and high-quality restaurants available. In addition to the public land out the front door, the Kickapoo Valley Reserve is less than 10 minutes away - providing canoeing, hiking, hunting, fishing, and numerous other outdoor activities and well over 8,000 acres to roam.

We added a storage shed to the property where you can lock up some of your gear and dry out your waders. There are also yards games, the charcoal grill, a gas grill, and other items in the storage shed for your use.

Award-winning restaurants, Wonderstate Coffee, several wineries (Vernon Vineyards, Branches Winery), movie theater, seasonal farmer's market, minutes from Organic Valley and Go Macro headquarters, antique and specialty shops, and The Historic Temple Theatre are just a few of the local attractions just minutes from The Arcadian. The Mississippi River is 30 minutes away and larger towns like La Crosse and Madison are both easily accessible by State Highway 14.

This was my third stay at the Arcadian Cabin. Another relaxing and peaceful one in the middle of winter. Both the hosts and cabin itself keep me coming back. Jake and Becky are excellent hosts. Communication from the listing through the stay and even after has always been excellent. I've had no issues receiving prompt and knowledgeable responses to any questions or concerns during my stays. The Arcadian fulfills all of my needs for a vacation rental from necessary amenities to a peaceful, bucolic setting perfect for either relaxation or outdoor activities. Having stayed multiple times at the Arcadian, I am impressed with the upkeep at the cabin. There doesn't appear to be any wear and tear after several years of staying here, only additions such as the new handrail outside, Adirondacks for the firepit and Keurig.I highly recommend the Arcadian for a stay in the Driftless. Excellent location in a bucolic setting in a valley along the Bishop's Branch. Viroqua is an easy 5 miles for any necessities, entertainment or dining.

This is a great cabin for a related couple using only the main bedroom and not planning on cooking full meals. Access to the 2nd bedroom requires climbing an 8-foot ladder. Climbing up/down the ladder to access your belongings or using the bathroom is unsafe and frustrating. While there is a picture of the ladder in the property description, the ladder is not shown in the 2nd bedroom photos. There is a picture showing of the BR with the top of the ladder but it's not obvious this is the only access. We were looking for a cabin with "walk out the front door" flyfishing access. This property looked perfect with Bishop Branch several hundred feet away. Unf the photos in the description are inaccurate because they don't show the No Trespassing signs on both sides and hose strung across the stream. I sent an email describing these and other issues. VRBO limits reviews to 1500 characters so I'm only mentioning a few of the issues here. The host called me (I prefer email) to tell me we should have reached out about the condition of the cookware (nonstick pans shedding nonstick material) and they would have replaced. Since we were already cooking dinner that wouldn't have helped. We expected usable cookware in an Exceptional VRBO property. During the call with the host, I brought up the inaccurate stream and 2nd bedroom ladder photos. After15 frustrating minutes of back and forth I gave up, said goodbye and hung up. Nice property, nice people not a premium experience
