About this property

Trout season is open!

Book a getaway to relax, hike, and enjoy the peace and quiet of our beautiful area, or to enjoy trout fishing in the local trout stream.

Private, air-conditioned, fully furnished, clean and unique accommodations. Enjoy the comfortable, away-from-it-all atmosphere.

We are located in the heart of beautiful Bear Valley and the confluence of five scenic drainage's. 750 acres of public land lay to the south. The remaining boundaries are surrounded by a privately owned wildlife refuge.

We are centrally located within a half hour of some of the most popular attractions of Southwest WI as well as some unique and tranquil settings within minutes.

Some of the activities that can be enjoyed from our front door are hunting, fishing, biking, motorcycling, snowmobiling, bird and wildlife watching, or just relaxing around one of our camp fires.

Also popular is the quality trout fishing available within walking distance. Trout fishing continues to get better as Bear Creek was recently improved under a stream bank improvement and trout habitat project.

Bear Creek Trout Habitat Improvement Project is nearly all under DNR easements with two walk-in public access points on Hwy 130, as well as access off the bridge on Hwy N, just feet from Outdoor Inn.

We are centrally located to the many popular tourist attractions of Southwest Wisconsin.

We are a short drive from The House on the Rock, American Players Theatre, Governor Dodge State Park, Oakwood Fruit Farm, Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor’s Center, The Springs Golf Resort, Natural Bridge State Park, Our Lady of the Fields Chapel, Taliesin, Plain Westbrook Hills Golf Course, White Mound Park, Rockbridge, Hillside School, Tower Hill State Park, Hyde Mill, Unity Chapel, House on the Rock, Cedar Grove Cheese Co, Wisconsin Dells, and many other interesting tourist attractions.

In order to provide peace and serenity for our wildlife, we are a DRONE FREE zone, and have quiet time after 11:00 pm.

We have Light Speed Fiber Internet, and HD Television Live Streaming & Cloud DVR.

Check in time is 4:00 pm and check out time is 11:00 am, unless different times are prearranged.

Cozy, Comfortable Getaway

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend in the Antique Unit. It was sparkling clean, spacious, and provided all we needed (and more) for our weekend of hiking and birding. We're already looking forward to a return trip!

Charming little cabin!

This was a perfect stay for us while attending a wedding nearby. The host Darcy was very accommodating and prompt in answering my inquiries. This is a cozy little cabin, well stocked and VERY clean! The only drawback was the lighting (or lack of). It was very dark inside. The only remedy was to open the blinds, which helped a little, but the driveway runs under the living room and both bedroom windows, so you lose all privacy. And there was a fair amount of traffic using the driveway during our stay. Also a minor but important detail- one spare roll of toilet paper for a party of 5 was not enough, and there is no such thing as a "quick run to town" from this location :)

I think this property was amazing, but I should have picked better!

I want to come right out and say that I totally didn’t realize this property was NOT for dogs (I hastily made a booking since it was around the holidays and we’ve been working like 80 hours a week for a couple months now). So please don’t do what I did! I feel terribly!! My partner and I arrived and it was a bit difficult to find in the dark, but Bill did provide written instructions to find it which was very helpful! But, I think we thought this property was going to be a bit more secluded than it was. Just a heads up that it is right by a busy road, and there is another house on either side (and one of them belongs to the owner, Bill). We also had a couple people knock on our door when my partner was sleeping and I had just showered during check out day, but I’m not 100% sure what that was about since I didn’t get there in time. Over all, it was a beautiful property, but definitely with the bureaucracy of a hotel or cabin rental company — maybe not for us, but I think would be absolutely wonderful for folks looking to get out of the craziness of life!

Lovely lil stay

It is a beautiful rustic place with lots of beautiful views and fun taxidermy inside. It’s quite and a nice get away. Bill, the owner, is delightful and a colorful character. There are some chickens and little puppies running around looking for pets. I love the quirkiness of this property!
