Arcadian Cabin at Bishop Branch, creek-front, public land access, great location

The Arcadian Cabin at Bishop Branch Creek

Constructed in the summer of 2017, Arcadian Cabin’s location in the Driftless Area of Southwestern Wisconsin manifests a true park-like atmosphere. Both Crystal Creek and Bishop Branch Creek, are located steps off of the covered deck. The property (3+ acres) boasts a yard perfect for campfires (firewood provided), stargazing, lawn games, or just lounging and relaxing. Additionally, 58 acres of public land adjacent to the property is available for hiking, fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, bird watching, and other outdoor activities - no need to drive, these activities are all accessible on-site as soon as you walk out the front door.

At the end of the day, the 16’x28’ cabin which boasts an 18-foot tall ceiling in the main room will welcome you and up to five additional guests (sleeps six). The two bedrooms, bathroom, full kitchen, electric heat, bathtub and shower, electric appliances, Satellite TV, WiFi, a storage shed for your use, and many other features will make your stay enjoyable and stress-free.

The location of The Arcadian is ideal for any traveler’s needs. Viroqua, the county seat of Vernon County, is less than 5 miles away and has numerous shops, festivals, a challenging golf course, and high-quality restaurants available. In addition to the public land out the front door, the Kickapoo Valley Reserve is less than 10 minutes away - providing canoeing, hiking, hunting, fishing, and numerous other outdoor activities and well over 8,000 acres to roam.

We added a storage shed to the property where you can lock up some of your gear and dry out your waders. There are also yards games, the charcoal grill, a gas grill, and other items in the storage shed for your use.

Award-winning restaurants, Wonderstate Coffee, several wineries (Vernon Vineyards, Branches Winery), movie theater, seasonal farmer's market, minutes from Organic Valley and Go Macro headquarters, antique and specialty shops, and The Historic Temple Theatre are just a few of the local attractions just minutes from The Arcadian. The Mississippi River is 30 minutes away and larger towns like La Crosse and Madison are both easily accessible by State Highway 14.

Notes:
-The minimum age for cabin rental is 24 years of age. Exceptions may be considered on an individual basis, please contact us directly.

-There is a 2 or 3 night minimum stay, depending on the time of year.

Beautiful place, quiet, lovely cabin and convenient amenities. Close enough to Viroqua to enjoy some good food and shops but quiet and remote enough for lots of bird action too! Perfect for a getaway weekend.

Our second stay and hopefully an annual tradition. We really enjoy the cabin and the area. Very relaxing and peaceful getaway. We made all of our meals at the cabin, had bonfires, fished, and read books on the deck.

Arcadian Cabin Stay
We had a great time at the Arcadian. It's a beautiful place and close to Viroqua so it's very convenient. It's also located in close proximity to many public access fishing locations, which was our main goal. Definitely recommend this property.

Wonderful adventure, sweet hosts
The hosts left a precious note and gift for my son and our family with hot cocoa and a little wooden fish. We had a wonderful time trail blazing all over the property, along the creek, and through the acreage of public land adjoining the property. Great find! Would book again!
