This is a such a great cabin with beautiful lighting and trees. It had everything we needed and was very cozy. I would say that the beds and chairs could maybe have been a little more comfortable, but we tend to sleep on soft to firm beds, so if you prefer firm beds, then these would be perfect. We used a cushion on the chairs in the kitchen, and that was great. Again, such a nice place. We absolutely loved getting to go to the neighboring land to sit by the stream where the cows roamed. That was a fun treat! Huge thank you to our hosts. They were great communicators, efficient and available. We appreciated it! Thanks!

Outstanding Cabin

We've stayed at a number of cabins in SW Wisconsin and this is the best equipped we've seen (kitchen, etc). Plenty of trout fishing streams of all types nearby. Beautiful area of the state with very little traffic this time of year. Great food market (Benders) in Fennimore and wonderful apples, cider, etc nearby. Really enjoyed our stay.

Early fall in the driftless area

This is a great property. Very comfortable, set in the woods in the rolling farm country of the Wisconsin's driftless area. Four of us have an annual reunion and picked this property as it appeared secluded and roomy. It worked out wonderfully.

Absolutely perfect place for me and my wife to totally escape for a few days. Hiking and chasing some beautiful wild browns in Casltle creek was such a joy. The cabin is so comfortable and so close to what we enjoy most. Big thank to Jamie and Kristin.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Walter

Host profile image
We are Illinois farmers and have 3 young children who love adventure. In our spare time we love to hike, fish, read, play games and relax as a family!

Why they chose this property

The Driftless Area (an unglaciated corner of Southwest WI reminiscent of Upstate New York) is known for its scenic, wooded valleys, spring fed streams and rocky hilltops. It is a unique part of the country -- very different than much of the midwest -- and for those in the know, a special place to get away without having to go too far.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin was purchased unfinished and in some disrepair in 2009. Thanks to my architect wife's keen eye, some elbow grease and a desire to create something special we remodeled our cabin into the luxurious hideaway we have today. We enjoy sharing our little slice of heaven with others who appreciate the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the finer things in life. This is not a rustic cabin. While it is certainly off the beaten path, it is also modern, well-kept and luxuriously appointed. We appreciate guests who treat our cabin as their own home and have been very pleased to find that nearly all of our guests do so.
