Hidden Gem

Loved this property and the hot tub. It was nice to stay here with family for a wedding instead of a hotel. Only regret is we wish we stayed longer.

Perfect Little Getaway

We just wanted a quiet, country getaway for the weekend and this cottage was a perfect fit. We really enjoyed exploring the property, the hot tub, and fire pit while having the convenience, cleanliness of a home. I highly recommend. We already are planning our next visit.

Cozy and peaceful

This cottage was the perfect place for my family to spend a few days away. The house has everything you need to make it feel like a home away from home. We loved that everything was an easy drive to lots of different small towns. Plenty to enjoy at the cottage with the fire pit, hot tub, and beautiful property for fishing or just relaxing. We would make this our first pick if we stay in the area again!

What a wonderful place!

My friend and I stayed at the Trimbelle Cottage for 3 nights and had the most fabulous stay. The cottage was clean, had everything you could need and the fishing access was stellar. I caught a good sized brown trout and a beautiful brookie right off the property. Lovely country setting with lots to do within 15-30 minutes.

Beautiful and peaceful, well appointed

We originally planned on staying 2 nights but loved the change of pace from city living so much we ended up extending our stay. Surrounded by a chorus of bird songs all day, lush greenery, hardly any traffic on the road in front of the house, we felt the stress melting away. We loved the layout of the living space - well appointed and thoughtfully designed. The place had all the accoutrements we could have hoped for and we made use of the gas stove top, gas grill, record player with classic albums, shower with wonderful water pressure, nice hot tub, comfy bed and furniture, coffee maker...would definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Kendra Appleton

Host profile image
I’m from Colorado, and Luke is from Wisconsin. We are both teachers and love hiking, fly fishing, and traveling. We love hosting because we are passionate about sharing this special, magical place with others, and we’ve loved hearing all the reasons people are staying at the cottage.

Why they chose this property

Luke (my husband) grew up in this area and grew up fishing the local trout stream such as the Kinnikinnick, the Rush River, and of course the Trimbelle. His dream has been to own property on these streams, and the Trimbelle Cottage is a dream come true for him. I, too, have fallen in love with this area.

What makes this property unique

A place to relax, to connect, to adventure, the Trimbelle Cottage is a marvel both inside and out. Inside, guest will find several games and puzzles, a record player, and a Smart TV with access to streaming services. Outside, we have seven acres along the class one trout stream, the Trimbelle River. Our property contains a public easement so that local anglers can fish and access the river too.
