About this property
White Oak Retreat SW WI easy access to ATV and Snowmobile Trails
The White Oak Retreat is a "shouse" type living space, constructed in 2023, located 4 miles south of Shullsburg, WI. The property is located on a preferred ATV route and within 100 yards of the snowmobile trail with ample room for trailer parking.
Located 8 minutes from Shullsburg WI, 20 minutes from Darlington, WI, 25 minutes from Galena, IL, and 30 minutes from Dubuque, IA the living space is all your own. The home on the property is lived in by the hosts, however the Retreat is all yours. We do have three cats (Stewart, Sam and Sloan) that might come say hello from time to time.
The space can sleep up to 10 people with two bedrooms (one king, one queen), a Queen futon, and a King-size floor mattress (Cordaroy Bean Bag) and single futon on the loft, and a couch on the main level.
If you have a larger group looking for a place to stay we do have a spot for camper hook up on the property as well. Message host for details and to arrange for camper parking for an additional fee.
All appliances are new with washer/dryer, dishwasher, full size refrigerator, microwave and electric stove.
A unique island with a 4' wide solid piece of live-edge white oak will be your favorite inside gathering spot for card games or just hanging out after a long day of fun in this beautiful area of Wisconsin and NW IL. When the weather is nice, open the all-glass overhead door to expand the living space to the outside patio.
Enjoy a hot shower in our all-tile shower in the full bath on the main level. The loft has a 1/2 bath for those sleeping on the upper level.
The space is air conditioned with a unit for the 18' tall living space and loft and smaller units in each bedroom each with their own temperature controls. The Retreat has in-floor heat, with supplemental heat from the wall units for those really cold nights. There are 5 ceiling fans, two on the loft, one in each bedroom and a large 8' diameter fan over the living area and kitchen.
The main level floor is stained concrete contributing to the rustic feel we hope you enjoy. Our goal was to make it feel like you're staying in a spacious cabin. We think we've achieved that and hope you agree.

About the host
Hosted by Lauren Ray
We've lived on the property since May 2004. When we purchased it in October 2003 an old dairy barn and the milk house were the only outbuildings and the house hadn't been lived in for 4 years.
Why they chose this property
We love this area because of the gorgeous views of the driftless area.
What makes this property unique
We are unique because you are staying on a property that is occupied, but you have your own space and it still feels private and quiet and peaceful.
