Towhee cabin at Driftless Creek

Towhee is a bright, comfortable, stylish, private cabin in the woods, a short drive from Viroqua. Towhee, named for this sprightly bird spotted on one of the trails on the Driftless Creek property. Highlights of Towhee include a screened porch, well-appointed kitchen, private bedroom and spacious loft with king bed. Towhee sleeps 5.

The space --

Driftless Creek offers light-filled, clean-lines, full-amenity modern cabins, each private from the other, nestled in the woods, a 15 minute drive from Viroqua. Down a scenic dirt road, and up a private driveway, you will enter our 75 acres of ridgetop forest between two spring-fed streams. We offer almost 2 miles of trails on property for hiking, mountain-biking, or snow-shoeing. Adjacent state natural areas on 3 sides enhance the remote wilderness feeling. The quiet is restorative and the dark nights are perfect for star-gazing. This really might be the place where you pick up a book or a well-maintained ukulele or guitar we provide, or let the hours go by in a hammock on the screened porch. We are known for top-quality comfort, including memory foam mattresses with 100% cotton and down bedding, glass and tile showers with a heated bathroom fan, Jøtul wood stoves inside and fire rings outside with seasoned firewood at the ready, and heating and cooling options that keep you cozy no matter the season. Our wifi is network grade. Our water is sourced from a deep well and filtered. And our kitchens are stocked with everything you need, including a dishwasher, coffee maker, coffee grinder, and local coffee beans. Our cabins are sparkling clean and we guarantee that everything on premises is fully operational. Driftless Creek offers a place for you to gather yourself, your family, your friends, and even your pets, surrounded by the abundance and peace of nature and all that the area has to offer. Whether it is the beautiful rolling hills, the trout streams, the inspired food offerings, or the charming towns, we look forward to hosting you in the Driftless area of Wisconsin.

Other details --

The kitchen includes a compact refrigerator, cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, dishes and cooking supplies. The kitchen does not include an oven.

A Weber gas grill is available for your use on the porch.

The bathroom includes a European style combined washer/dryer unit.

We have commercial grade WIFI, with fiber optic cable run to the property, with 100Mbit downloads, allowing you to stream movies or videoconference. There is no TV in the cabin.

There is a private bedroom with a queen size bed on the first floor, and a loft with both a king and twin bed.

The large screened in porch is accessible via the side door and has additional seating, a dining table and chairs, and a hammock.

Bed linens, towels and extra blankets are provided.

Because the cabin is shaded, the ceiling fan is often sufficient for cooling, and we also provide a high capacity window AC unit that can cool the entire cabin.

Heating includes baseboard electric heaters controlled by a thermostat, supplemental heat in the kitchen, and the option to use a Jøtul wood stove (with all fire starting materials and ample seasoned wood).

We love our canine friends, and your dog is welcome and will enjoy walking on the trails. (2 dogs max)

You will have access to the entire property, including our almost 2 miles of hiking / mountain biking / snowshoe trails.

We are a 15 minute drive south of downtown Viroqua with great restaurants and shopping. Be sure to check out the Driftless cafe, the Food Coop, Parish Music and Driftless books.

Note -- We plow and salt our private drive after snowfalls but all-wheel drive or a 4x4 vehicles can be helpful in the winter.

This is our second time staying in Towhee cabin. We love the screened-in porch area for breakfast, and small touches like provided Wonderstate coffee (local to area). I’m sure we’ll be back again!

Phenomenal Hideaway
The cabin is a perfect place to get away. Rodney's property is nestled down the road and up the hill. It feels like you are all alone in the world, yet still a quick jaunt to Viroqua for incredible food and activities. We were here for a week and the drive and views never grew old. The cabin itself is GORGEOUS and you can feel the love that was built into it. Rodney was receptive and responsive and made the stay absolutely perfect.

Another amazing stay in the best cabins in the Viroqua area!
We returned to the Driftless Creek cabins for a second stay last week, and once again had a wonderful time. The cabins are designed for the comfort and convenience of visitors, provisioned with super comfy mattresses, Wonderstate whole-bean coffee, toiletries, and everything you might need in the kitchen if you plan on cooking a meal or two on-site. We didn't use the woodstove or firepit, but the hosts have also prepared kindling and wood for guests who wish to do so. The walking trails just beyond each cabin are absolutely wonderful! The bergamot was in full bloom during our visit, and the prairie smelled amazing. The Merlin birdsong ID app on my phone got a workout, and it was so nice to bring our dogs (they had a blast on our many walks). The cabin has a ton of books as well as a hammock in which to read them, and it was nice to hear my husband play the guitar again. We lost connection to the Wifi once, and Rodney was super-prompt and helpful in getting it restored quickly. Other highlights of our visit: hiking the Kickapoo Valley Reserve, dining at Kos in Wesby, and attending the local radio station's (WDRT) first block party - what a great community! We adore the area and hope to return again soon. Thank you, Rodney & family, for being such exceptional hosts!

Peaceful retreat
My husband and I did not see another human being over the 4 nights we stayed. Exactly what we wanted! We knew Rodney was available at any point but the cabin was well equipped so had no need to contact him. The trails are well laid out with random benches to just sit and listen. We would love to come back someday!

Cabin was perfect for fly fishing weekend.
Cabin is in the woods and in the middle of an area with some great fly fishing. The design was nice, everything worked well and I would come back. Nice touches like balnkets/books, reading lights, hammock etc that make it really ease to like the stay.

Anniversary Trip
This awesome cabin at the Driftless creek is an absolute must stay! Wonderfully private place to make you feel like you're away from it all, but close enough to town to go to dinner after a day of fly fishing. The cabin has great decor and amenities. Everything is clean. The shower has really good water pressure, which is nice for a remote cabin. We will definitely be staying here again!

Great, Relaxing Stay
The cabin is secluded and relaxing just as advertised. One other cabin on the property was occupied during our stay but the cabins are spaced well enough apart that you don't even notice. We would love to return and experience the property and area in all seasons.

If you are looking for seclusion, this is great. So quiet and the nature was beautiful. Loved the porch, loft and the fire pit outside is a nice touch also. We brought my daughter's 2 dogs and they absolutely loved it.

Anniversary weekend
Off the beaten path log cabin. Very neat and clean. Close to trout streams, wineries, hiking, and micro breweries. The cabin is set in the beautiful hills and valleys of the driftless area where time slows down and as quietness settles in. A note for those unaccustom to some country roads, you will be on gravel roads for several miles as you approach the cabin. Well worth the car wash when you get home.

Stunning location with a serene feel.
My sister and I had an incredible weekend staying here! These cabins are very impressive, and have everything you will need. It is a beautiful quiet location with trails right outside your door. Rodney was a great host and replied right away any time we had a question! I do highly suggest having 4 Wheel Drive as the drive to get up to the cabins is a steep incline, but it is worth it! Thanks for the great stay, I will definitely be back!

Beautiful Cabin tucked away in nature
My husband and I plus our two large dogs stayed at this cabin for 3 nights. Check-In was a breeze! Cabin had everything we needed to cozy up for a few days. Our dogs had space to run and we explored a couple of the trails onsite. We utilized the grill to make dinners and it worked out perfectly. The Adirondack chair was so comfy to enjoy my morning coffee made from the most delicious and fresh coffee beans! The water they say is delicious and it is INDEED delicious! So fresh and ice cold. Shower was very relaxing as well and we enjoyed a nice fire in the wood burning stove each day, it really heated the place up QUICK! This is a great place to get away from everyday fast paced life. I will add - make sure you bring games, books, puzzles, a laptop for movies if you wish - to keep you busy in the winter. Fridge was big enough to hold our grocery items but we also brought a cooler with ice which worked out great. I will add - Driveway is very steep but we had no issues with our truck. We also ventured into town to take our dogs to the dog park and to have lunch & explore a few shops on main st. - it was about 20 minutes drive so not bad at all. Thank You Rodney for a wonderful stay!

Excellent winter writing retreat w/ 4WD
My husband & I rented this little cabin for a weekend music & writing retreat. It was fantastic. The hosts are easy to reach for questions. The cabin is beautiful, cozy, and clean. A little place tucked away in the woods is exactly what we were looking for, but I am glad we had 4WD to travel the snowy, Driftless hills. Our only complaint is that the big snow didn't hit us hard enough while we were snugged up next to the fire. Next time maybe. We're keeping this one on our list for a return date!

Oh what a feeling!
This family has truly created a resort type feeling in an absolutely gorgeous cabin. We can not wait to keep an eye on their future plans. It was exactly as pictured but pictures don't do it justice. It's even better. That cabin smell, cozy beds, warmth of the colors, relaxing shower, hammock on the porch (even in the winter, loved it), candles, and so much more. All the attention to details. Kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. Wasn't planning on washing a load of laundry but it was very nice to be able to. All the recommendations left for food, shopping, adventure was amazing. Like having your own travel agent! We can't wait to come back!!
