So close to Bear Creek and high on a hill with a beautiful view! We stayed with friends as one taught my husband to fly fish. The house was well stocked with all the necessities. We would definitely go back!
Perfect secluded accommodations in the Driftless Region. You couldn’t ask for better hosts in Mike and Brenda they were willing to make some accommodations for our stay and their communication was beyond appreciated! We will for sure be back!
Absolutely beautiful home and surroundings. The home was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would highly recommend this rental. The owners were fantastic, making sure everything was in place to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
Great location, very private. The cabin was very clean and had everything you need. Many extra touches like great beds and linens, and towels. Nice furniture and plenty of cookware. Nice outdoor area with flowers. The grill worked well. Overall great place.
Nice clean cabin, secluded property with lots to offer. Pellet grill, charcoal grill, fire pit with chairs and firewood available, kitchen has all the cookware, supplies, ingredients you need or forgot to bring. Washer and dryer available too if you need it. Fishing creek and nicely stocked old school general store nearby that has everything you would need if you forget anything.
We loved our time at this cabin. I have stayed at several places in a lot of states, and this one by far the best cabin I have ever stayed at.
