About this property

Entire place

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

Nature Lover's Pardise In The Driftless Area Of Southern Wisconsin, USA.

We are located on a hidden bluff at the end of a dead end road in the driftless area of Southern Wisconsin near the popular tourist destination of New Glarus, America's Little Switzerland in Green County Wisconsin.

The property is nestled in a stand of mature oak trees with rock cliffs, deer & turkeys grazing in the yard. It is a nature lovers dream!

The 2600 square foot 3.5 bath log home sits on 40 acres. The home features four spacious bedrooms with plush beds, a large surround deck in the tree tops, high speed internet & access to private walking trails that wind through the woods complete with limestone cliffs and pollinator prairies. The interior of the home is lined with pine boards that give off a pleasant aroma and add to the character adding to the cabin feel but the home is well appointed and has all the features you will likely need.

We are close to many communities like New Glarus, Dodgeville, Mineral Point, Mt Horeb where local festivals take place weekly throughout the spring, summer and fall. Take in a brewery tour or sample some fresh cheese at one of the many local cheese factories. Be sure to ask for fresh curds!

There is easy access to Yellowstone Lake State Park and Wildlife Areas with a host of other possible recreational activities including hiking, cycling, fishing, canoeing, boating. There is even hunting, in season and recreational shooting at a well maintained no cost range at Yellowstone Lake Wildlife Area.


**** VRBO rate software does not allow us to discriminate between children and adults as additional guests and will automatically generate an additional guest fee if the number of children are entered. We only charge an additional guest fee for adult guests. We do not charge for kids!

Please note the number of children that will be staying with us in your email to us so we are aware that you are bringing your children but do not list your children as guests to avoid the additional guest fee. We have contacted VRBO to hopefully resolve this issue. Thank you! ****

Peaceful Getaway with Everything You NeedExcellent communication from the host—quick, friendly, and helpful. The cabin was exactly as described and even better in person. The kitchen was impressively stocked with every utensil, pan, and gadget you could want, making meal prep a breeze. Tucked away in a quiet, serene spot, it was the perfect place to unwind. Plus, there’s no shortage of things to do just a short drive away—whether you’re after hiking, exploring small towns, or just soaking up nature.

Peace

This is the place to enjoy peace and quiet, no neighbors parking in front of the driveway or loud music blasting thru the window. You are at the end of the road, only neighbors are wildlife, Steve and his family about a quarter mile away.The beds were more comfortable than our own. Steve went out of his way to do everything possible to make our stay perfect.

Excellent Family location spot

Beautiful Wisconsin countryside, property is secluded with a great gravel path for kids to ride bikes on, a perfect short private approximately 1 mi loop hiking trail. We had two young families present, eight kids six and under. The basement, two bedrooms and two bathrooms and upstairs. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms was perfect for us. The kids were more than occupied with the loft play area and playing around the house. Wrap around porch allowed easy line of sight as needed.

Family Easter get together

We had a family gathering for Easter. The house was wonderful for that. Lots of spaces for different activities. The kids, and by that I mean young men, really enjoyed the upstairs. Hiking the trails was also very popular. The kitchen was well equipped and large enough for several people to be working at the same time to prepare our Easter dinner. We would stay again.

Girls' Cabin Getaway Weekend

This cabin was perfect for what we needed! We had 6 adults and everyone had their own place to sleep with room to spare and enough bathrooms and showers. We loved walking the paths on the property and playing cards on the poker table in the loft. Steve was so kind and informative and we liked knowing we could easily contact him if we needed anything. We really enjoyed the fire pit! Thanks for a lovely weekend away!

Peaceful and relaxing

Our stay was peaceful and relaxing. We loved the fact this place was out in the middle of no where. The house was really quiet except when we got major winds (which isn't Steve's fault just part of nature this time of the year). The trails were an extra bonus for us and the dog. Our dog was in heaven. Hopefully we will get to come back again when the trees have leaves and the little church next door is complete. Thanks Steve for sharing your place with us. You are a true blessing

Winter getaway

The cabin was the sweetest getaway for our friends! Great location that felt like you were in nature but close to all the small towns nearby. Loved skiing nearby and then walking the trails near the cabin. So clean, cozy and we loved the game table upstairs. The best time- thank you!

25th Wedding anniversary weekend away

Our stay was in celebration of my son and his wife's 25th wedding anniversary. Their 21-yr old son and my daughter was also part of our group of five. We were each able to have our own bedroom along w plenty of bathrooms. Good quality mattresses made for a very good night's sleep. It's a beautiful ride there from Waukesha and the setting was beautiful and peaceful. Plenty of room to spread out. We loved playing games up in the loft area where there is a game table. The kitchen is very well equipped with quality appliances. Can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer to enjoy the very large deck. Saturday night we enjoyed a taste testing and meal at Whiskey Run in New Glarus which is only 20 minutes away. Our host, Steve, was very hospitable, and great to work with. He and his wife live just up the road, so we felt confident if there were any problems he'd be readily available to assist us. We all agreed it was a fantastic weekend and we'd be back.

Great Winter Getaway

Our group had a wonderful stay. Your lodge was clean and you made our stay very enjoyable. Loved to be able to take a hike around your property and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We even saw some deer the one night right out our window. We would absolutely recommend your lodge to anyone and would most definitely come back for another visit.

Wonderful and magical

If you truly want a fun place away from it all with hiking trails right on the property this place has it all! Property owner Steve is amazing and gives you a thorough run down of everything there is to do around there. The house is very clean and well kept, I especially loved the quilts, as personally I think quilts are the best blanket to sleep under. My favorite part was that my fury friends even my horse would be welcome to stay, as they have a large grass filled paddock. Personally if I brought my horse I would recommend bringing electric fencing.
