About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Wisconsin's Driftless Region Retreat

5 bedrooms, 4 bath, with multiple family rooms, all specifically designed to flow from indoor to outdoor, with a beautiful deck and multiple porches. Set against a quiet backdrop of 60 acres of hay fields and oak forestry you will enjoy modern conveniences, while being far from the deafening crowd. Play pool, ping pong, croquet, corn-hole or watch TV in home theater, or just lounge on the deck near the outdoor fireplace and listen to the birds and watch for wild turkey, fox and deer. Peace, quiet and serenity await. Golf, canoeing, boating, trout stream fishing, hiking and cross country skiing are all in abundance here in the hills of the Driftless region of Wisconsin. What ever your heart desires, this is this place to unwind and enjoy your family and friends.

Sisters reunion
My sisters and I have been having a reunion every year for the past 8 yrs to reconnect since our mom's passing. We found the home to be cozy and very well equipped for our indoor and outdoor cooking adventures. We loved the back deck and spent many hours there eating and crafting. The Viroqua farmers market and shops were wonderful to explore as well. We had a small issue one day with the front lock and Susan responded instantly and solved the problem. We are already talking about coming again as we enjoyed it so much and one of the sisters had to cancel at the last minute due to illness. Thank you Susan for sharing this home.

Nice stay but...
We had a nice stay with our family. The house is large set among beautiful cornfields. The house was very clean but all of us were bitten by it looks like spiders. We mainly stayed inside the house because we had a young baby. Also one of our family member has some mobility issue and there is no bedroom on the ground floor.

Not ideal
When we arrived (on a very hot day), it was 84 degree in the house. I tried to adjust the temperature but couldn’t, so I messaged our host who responded very timely and said that the AC was set to turn on before we arrived but she hadn’t anticipated the extra heat outside, so it would take awhile for the house to cool. The listing said there was a hot tub, so I inquired about the location of that since we couldn’t find it. The host said there had never been a hot tub and that I must be looking at the wrong listing. I sent a screenshot of the listing, and the host updated me that it was a mistake with no apology. I understood that mistakes happen, but we partially booked this place for the hot tub. We couldn’t actually adjust the house’s temperature to lower than 74 degrees. I messaged the host, and they lowered it to my requested temperature, but it was very odd that we couldn’t control the temp. Several hours went by, and the house had only cooled to 78 degrees. I messaged our host asking if they knew how long it normally takes for the whole house to cool (I had a 3 month old with). The host responded that the AC was working hs, 78 wasn’t unbearable, and anyone who wanted it cooler to sleep in the basement (where 1 bedroom was). No apology. Finally, we were out of the house around 9:55 AM (time to leave was 10) and were in the driveway giving hugs and goodbyes. The host called me at 10:02 saying the cleaner was waiyimg and we were supposed to be out by 10. Not ideal.

Beautiful house but...
On the surface, the property is incredible: great furniture, beautiful deck and appliances. Issues we had: floors were dirty, pans and utensils had food on them, and unsafe looking wiring (china hutch in dining room and wire sticking out of the wall in the basement. basement.)

Fishing base from a beautiful home
Beautiful rural property with expansive deck, furniture, outdoor kitchen. Only one upstairs queen bed a one lower level, but full beds were adequate. Immaculate condition, much more space than needed. We didn’t really use the large family room in the lower level at all. Convenient to Viroqua (about seven minutes), the golf course, and many miles of excellent trout fishing. Really a pleasant surprise to find such a gem. We will definitely return.

Great Fishing Losge
We switched from motel rooms to this property for our annual fly fishing trip this year. Great location and perfect for five people. Fantastic deck and plenty of places to hang out and tell fishing stories. Quiet and scenic location. Kitchen and grill had everything we needed to prepare meals. We’ll definitely rebook for next year.

Sibling Weekend
Vernon County is a beautiful area. You are literally on top of the world when driving along the ridge. The accomodations were nice, but noted that there were houses surrounding the property. We wished we could have come when the corn wasnt so high, as it obstructs the veiw a bit. The deck is beautiful and we were fortunate to have excellent weather. Also the host and hostess were great communicators!

Relaxing extended weekend
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home! Plenty of room for the 6 of us, and the home was very comfortable with plenty of activities on the property. We enjoyed using the game room, the fire pit, the swing, and spending time relaxing on the large deck. Also the home is in a quiet area and very close to other nature attractions. Thank you for a memorable stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Driftless Retreat! There were 8 of us in our group and we had plenty of room for everyone and had a great time with the pinball machine, ping pong table and the entertainment area downstairs. We also loved being able to all sit out on the deck and catch up and star gaze. Susan was very responsive and easy to work with.
