Arcadian Cabin at Bishop Branch, creek-front, public land access, great location

The Arcadian Cabin at Bishop Branch Creek

Constructed in the summer of 2017, Arcadian Cabin’s location in the Driftless Area of Southwestern Wisconsin manifests a true park-like atmosphere. Both Crystal Creek and Bishop Branch Creek, are located steps off of the covered deck. The property (3+ acres) boasts a yard perfect for campfires (firewood provided), stargazing, lawn games, or just lounging and relaxing. Additionally, 58 acres of public land adjacent to the property is available for hiking, fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, bird watching, and other outdoor activities - no need to drive, these activities are all accessible on-site as soon as you walk out the front door.

At the end of the day, the 16’x28’ cabin which boasts an 18-foot tall ceiling in the main room will welcome you and up to five additional guests (sleeps six). The two bedrooms, bathroom, full kitchen, electric heat, bathtub and shower, electric appliances, Satellite TV, WiFi, a storage shed for your use, and many other features will make your stay enjoyable and stress-free.

The location of The Arcadian is ideal for any traveler’s needs. Viroqua, the county seat of Vernon County, is less than 5 miles away and has numerous shops, festivals, a challenging golf course, and high-quality restaurants available. In addition to the public land out the front door, the Kickapoo Valley Reserve is less than 10 minutes away - providing canoeing, hiking, hunting, fishing, and numerous other outdoor activities and well over 8,000 acres to roam.

We added a storage shed to the property where you can lock up some of your gear and dry out your waders. There are also yards games, the charcoal grill, a gas grill, and other items in the storage shed for your use.

Award-winning restaurants, Wonderstate Coffee, several wineries (Vernon Vineyards, Branches Winery), movie theater, seasonal farmer's market, minutes from Organic Valley and Go Macro headquarters, antique and specialty shops, and The Historic Temple Theatre are just a few of the local attractions just minutes from The Arcadian. The Mississippi River is 30 minutes away and larger towns like La Crosse and Madison are both easily accessible by State Highway 14.

Great Fishing Location

This was a beautiful cabin and a great location for fishing the Driftless. Cabin was spotless and comfortable. We’ve stayed in many different VRBOs the last 4 years in and around Viroqua and the Arcadian was by far our favorite.

Fishing paradise

Arcadian cabin is smack in the middle of Wisconsin’s Driftless Area, surrounding by incredible fly fishing in all directions, including a small trout stream right in front of the house. Jake and Becky were communicative and easy hosts. Would recommend.

Great Property

Myself and my three daughters stayed here for a girls' weekend. The property was very private, but still close to multiple small towns. Everything was very clean, everything we needed was provided, and we had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend!

A very pleasant place to stay a night (or two)!

We stayed here for the weekend and really enjoyed the cabin as well as the area! The Driftless is beautiful and was a much needed oasis of enjoyment in a busy time of life for us. The cabin was clean and comfortable, with all the basics and some of the extras you need to have a great stay. Check in was simple and check out too...made the whole process simple and didn't get in the way of experience in the leasst. It really was a beautiful setting and we sat out and watched the stars on our final evening. (We just missed the northern lights :( ) We would stay here again for sure!

Great weekend get-away!

We enjoyed our long weekend at the Arcadian Cabin! Our kids loved playing in the outdoor space, going into town for gelato and playing the cabin's board games. The loft may be challenging for younger kids, but our school age kids said it felt like a tree house. The gate at the top gave us peace of mind.

Wonderful Trout Fishing HQ

A great place for staging a fly fishing trip in the Driftless region. A great property with all the needed amenities. A quick drive from downtown Viroqua. We had one of our best days fishing on the Bishop Creek by the cabin. The owners are great and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended.

Winter Wonderland at the Arcadian

This was my second stay at the Arcadian. It was just as pleasant and relaxing as my first. Winter as opposed to late Spring, but the Arcadian was just as comfortable, conveniently and practically supplied and furnished with all the amenities an individual, couple or small family may need. Warm and cozy inside while it was cold and snowy outside.Winter adds a whole new perspective and beauty to the Driftless region. The Arcadian Cabin is situated in the perfect location to experience that beauty: a nice large clearing, surrounded by wooded hills and nestled alongside two small creeks.I'm hoping for more pleasant stays at the Arcadian in the future.

Beautiful location in the Driftless Area of SW Wisconsin

Arcadia was clean upon arrival, and the hosts left us stuff to make s'mores. We biked every day we were there, and it was so nice to come back to the cabin for a nice dinner and wine. We had a camp fire every night too! I sure hope we can come back. Thanks!

A home away from home

Everything was very well maintained and clean. The property was beautiful. It had all the amenities we needed for a short weekend stay. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure that you write down the information for getting into the house when you arrive as cell service is very minimal in that area. We were unfortunately unable to log into the app to get the information for the door code and had to drive back into town to gain access to a network. It did get a little chilly in the evening so we did have to reach out to the owners to explain to us how to get the furnace on. They were very easy to get in touch with and quickly solved our problem. Overall it was a nice day and I would recommend it for a fall getaway. The colors are beautiful and there's so many things to do outdoors. We travel into the small town for dinner and the food was exceptional. We did the farmers market on Sat morning and also another positive experience. Enjoy your stay, we sure did. Thank you.

Everything was as advertised. There was even a pack and play for our 1 year old. Our kids ages 7 and 3 loved the little stream in the back and fishing for trout from the bridge. We caught four trout right under the bridge.

Great stay at Arcadian!

Beautiful cabin, location and stay at the Arcadian in the wonderful Driftless region! Enjoyed the quiet valley and nearby creek while having coffee and reading on the porch! Cabin was very clean and had all we needed for a relaxing stay! So many great things to do in the surrounding area, visting the Kickapoo Valley Reserve to hike and bike, Viroqua, wineries, and kayking on the Kickapoo River! Thanks for a great stay!
