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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our family getaway at the Arcadian. The cabin was clean and cozy. The property is so serene with the stream and surrounding trees. Nighttime fires and stargazing were amazing. Would definitely recommend a stay and we hope to return someday.

A cozy quaint cabin get-away
We had a wedding in the area and decided to book this cabin instead of a hotel and turned out to be the best decision! The cabin was clean and the lot was beautiful! We didn’t have much time to hang around, but I’d love to go back someday!

Great Property
Myself and my three daughters stayed here for a girls' weekend. The property was very private, but still close to multiple small towns. Everything was very clean, everything we needed was provided, and we had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend!

Driftless Dream Location
This is a perfect spot to enjoy all that the Driftless has to offer! The place is located perfectly out of town but an easy jaunt in if you want to go to eat or enjoy Viroqua! The fishing was excellent even right out front, if ya know how to find them! The Driftless Angler can help ya out if needed! We will be back soon!

A place to seriously unwind and relax - and enough things to do and see nearby. Generally relaxed, but did some fishing and went on a couple hikes at nearby state and county parks.

A very pleasant place to stay a night (or two)!
We stayed here for the weekend and really enjoyed the cabin as well as the area! The Driftless is beautiful and was a much needed oasis of enjoyment in a busy time of life for us. The cabin was clean and comfortable, with all the basics and some of the extras you need to have a great stay. Check in was simple and check out too...made the whole process simple and didn't get in the way of experience in the leasst. It really was a beautiful setting and we sat out and watched the stars on our final evening. (We just missed the northern lights :( ) We would stay here again for sure!
