Incredible quiet getaway!

This was our second stay and was even more magical than the first. We loved the walking trails, horses, fire pit and we saw lots of deer. The highlight for our three kids was the ping pong table. We look forward to coming back.

My husband and I stayed one night as we were passing through the area so we did not have to opportunity to explore all there was to see. Cabin was very clean. Property is beautiful and peaceful. Easy to get to. Check in and check out were painless. Would be a lovely location to spend a weekend.

The location is so peaceful. A beautiful valley in the driftless region. It was great for our girlfriends weekend. Relaxing and a place to really exhale. Lots and lots of stars visible while sitting at the fire ring. The home was well furnished and great for cooking our meals. Highly recommend it!

Peaceful Country Getaway

Highly recommended for a quiet getaway. The house was clean, comfortable and well maintained. Kitchen was equipped with everything needed for cooking. The property is large, very quiet and secluded but still easily accessible. We enjoyed the hiking trails on the property and Great Bluffs state park is just 15 minutes away with some fabulous trails leading to beautiful views overlooking the river. Also enjoyed quiet afternoons reading on the deck and sitting by the fire in the evening. Great place to stay!

We loved our stay at Julie's place. As people who live in the city, we appreciated the opportunity to escape the noise and lights of our typical environment. We intend to make it an annual trip as it's the perfect little weekend escape for us :)

Spotless & quiet rural retreat

Beautiful 3-bedroom home in a scenic agricultural valley. Everything you need for a calm getaway is provided! Wife & I enjoyed a refreshing "unplugged" time away with our two dogs after an especially stressful Christmas season and the unexpected loss of my father. No snow this January, but we all enjoyed hiking the property's wooded trails.
