About this property
River View Retreat-Elk Creek, Driftless Region
Get away from it all (note: there is no WiFi—try it and you might like it) at this cozy 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom Amish-built log cabin tucked away above the Kickapoo River in the Driftless Area of Southwestern Wisconsin.
The cabin is conveniently located off state highway 131, with Elk Creek- a Class-A trout stream- just minutes away. Mowed trails alongside the creek offer easy access for fishing or a relaxing nature walk.
The River View Retreat boasts a near-hemispheric view of the river, valley and hills that make the Driftless so unique, including a dramatic 180-degree bend in the river.
Take a walk on the maintained grass trails on property, or for the more adventurous head up the hillside to walk one of the many deer trails carved out over years.
Relax and dine in the screened-in rear porch while enjoying the magnificent views and bird watching. Other amenities include a covered front porch, a stocked fire pit in the backyard, a gas grill and satellite TV. Large skylights in each bedroom impress with breathtaking views of the sky above and the river below.

About the host
Hosted by Chad Rice
We grew up in the exurbs of Milwaukee and have spent our adult years in the heart of the City. We look forward to hosting you and providing a place to relax, unwind, and enjoy all that the Driftless Area has to offer.
Why they chose this property
We stumbled upon the opportunity to own this property while surfing the internet and couldn't be more excited to share our find with you. As residents of the City of Milwaukee, we always dreamt of owning a place to get away from it all, and the privacy and incredible views offered at the Riverview Retreat of the night sky and Kickapoo River made our decision a great one.
