About this property

Country Pines Cottage - 1000 SQ/FT in the country - Peaceful & Relaxing

Welcome to Country Pines Cottage! Our one level, open floor plan cottage is located on a quiet, private road in the beautiful countryside of Westby, WI. The cottage is close to many local attractions, hiking trails, trout fishing, Amish community, canoeing, and much more. Here you will find a peaceful setting to sip your morning coffee as you look over the hillside of hay fields and farm crops. If you are visiting in the Fall, touring the area’s colorful foliage is breathtaking. Close by you will find local apple orchards, wineries, and all that the Driftless Area has to offer.

This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage comfortably accommodates up to five guests. The kitchen is fully stocked and features brand-new appliances, making it easy to whip up your favorite meals. Step out onto the deck to enjoy a meal from the gas grill, or unwind around the outdoor fire pit—perfect for telling stories and roasting marshmallows under the stars (please bring your own firewood).

All bedding, towels, dish soap, and other essentials are provided for your stay. Surrounded by open farmland and wildlife like deer, pheasants, and rabbits, this peaceful retreat offers a perfect escape into nature. On clear nights, don’t forget to look up—shooting stars are a regular sight in the expansive night sky.

The farmhouse cottage is located in the country, yet close to everything you might want to experience. For the outdoorsy, we are close to Class 1 fishing streams, the famous Driftless area where hiking, ATV, horseback riding trails are abundant, and the Kickapoo river for canoeing. Are you a shopper? You can take in the Amish shops and visit local antique stores. The cottage is centrally located to all the attractions.

Second Visit

This was our second time staying at Country Pines. Betty and Dan were very responsive to our needs, the "cabin" is clean and nicely appointed. The setting is beautiful with lots of places to walk. The Sparta-Elroy Bike Trail is a short 30 min drive. We had a wonderful time, and hope to be back again in the future.

Great fall trip

The house was very clean and well organized. The beds were comfortable, the area was very quiet, and the kitchen had all the items you'd need. Twice we grabbed some delicious take out from the co-op in Viroqua for dinner and reheated it at the house. We visited in October and took advantage of the fire pit outside. Great to sit under the stars. If we were in the area again, we would definitely stay here.

Amazing!!

What a lovely cottage!!! So clean, updated, comfortable. The hosts were available to answer questions and provided some local tips when we arrived. The area is beautiful and soooo peaceful. We would sit by the campfire in the evenings and truly relax. Location is ideal... 8 minutes to Westby which has a grocery store and some restaurants. 15 minutes to Viroqua which has more delicious restaurants. And 30 minutes to Wildcat Mountain State Park for superb hiking. Could not have asked to a better and more relaxing trip.

About the host

Host profile image
I grew up near Westby Wi, and always loved living in the country. I currently live in Minneapolis, but travel back to Westby as often as I can to visit family. My parents live near the property and take great care of the cottage. We hope you enjoy Country Pines Cottage as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

My mom and I put together this vacation rental and many pieces of furniture in the rental are built by my dad. The 1000 square foot cottage is roomy and cozy. It has in floor heat to keep your toes warm on those chilly nights. The kitchen has top notch appliances and stocked with anything you need to prepare your own meal. Relax outside by the fire pit and enjoy the country evening. *Firewood is not included.

The farmhouse cottage is located in the country, yet close to everything you might want to experience. For the outdoorsmans, we are close to Class 1 fishing streams, the famous Driftless area where hiking, ATV, horseback riding trails are abundant, and the Kickapoo river for canoeing. Are you a shopper? You can take in the Amish shops and visit local antique stores. The cottage is centrally located to all the attractions.

What makes this property unique

What makes this cottage unique is that at night you will see crystal clear stars while listening to the crickets. There is no roadside traffic as you take in the countryside sights and sounds. Being on a dead end road gives you privacy and quiet nights to relax. The property is across the driveway from the owners, however you will not be disturbed. But if you have questions, the owners can assist.
