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 Paradise 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! ****

Amazing

The house was beautiful. My kids enjoyed playing with toys upstairs while we made food in the kitchen. We all had enough space to play, eat and have alone time. Will definitely book this house again. Steve was amazing and gave helpful tips along the way. Hands down best BnB

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.

Adorable country home with a full bathroom for everyone! Large kitchen table for the whole family. My only complaint…is that the TV room had no AC and only a love seat and two chairs. Our family loves to end the night with a family movie and there was no place to sit us all and it was really hot in there. The TV had very basic cable and none of the movie apps worked. The host was wonderful. Other than that it was lovely. Bring DVDs!
