Quiet countryside shipping container home. Relax or enjoy outdoor recreation

Enjoy a secluded stay in a peaceful country setting. Our modern shipping container home is nestled on a hillside in the corner of our 160 acre farm. This unique space has 2 bedrooms, each bedroom has a queen bed and full closet. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, making it perfect for two couples. The home is complete with a fully stocked kitchen and a bathroom, a commons area and a deck overlooking the countryside. A beautiful 5 min drive from Viroqua and Westby, WI. Two quaint small towns with lots to offer. The Driftless region has a wide variety of year-round outdoors activities to offer. Spend the day trout fishing on nearby streams, biking the Driftless area, canoe the Kickapoo river, or go for a hike at our many parks, and return to the peace and quiet. Enjoy the scenery from the deck or have a bon fire.

Fantastic Property, Awesome Hosts, Close to Downtown Viroqua

The container home construction was so cool! This property was spotlessly clean, smelled great, and the hosts had thought of everything. Everything is well represented by the pictures and descriptions online. Very scenic location.

The best Hideaway around!

This is our second visit to the Hidden Hideaway. We have relatives in Westby, so the location is absolutely perfect for our needs. The property is always spotlessly clean when we arrive, and the two small porches outside of each bedroom was a lovely addition! Another amenity that we loved was the Bluetooth speaker. The beautiful clear chilly nights were enhanced by the fire pit with firewood dry and ready to use! Communication with the hosts was always prompt and easy. We look forward to staying at the Hideaway again the next time we’re in the region!

Cozy Get-Away

We were so excited to experience a stay in a shipping container. We tend to look for nontraditional options when vacationing. We were delighted by the size, cleanliness, and location of this little gem. It is so comfortable and nicely decorated. We used it as a base while exploring the small communities in the area and fishing the Kickapoo River system. We enjoyed the restaurants, shops and wineries. We highly recommend this vacation home.

Fantastic!

This beautifully decorated, very comfortable, impeccably clean rental is set in a lovely, private spot. The hosts thought of everything. Wondering how you will open a bag of coffee, there are scissors right next to the coffee maker, prefer french press, there's on it the cabinet above. Worried what to do when the bag of granola you bought at the wonderful Meninite store in town breaks open, the are several sizes of ziploc bags to the rescue! Daughter gets a skinned knee chasing lightning bugs, of course there is a first aid kit. I could go on, but you get the picture! I loved sitting on the deck listening to the dawn chorus of birds! We were visiting family, and will this place will be on the top of our list for next summer!

5th Anniversary Trip

We had a beautiful get-a-way, the house is AWESOME and we plan on staying again in the near future. Thank you for the extended stay, we were grateful that you could accommodate our very short notice to stay an additional day. We travel using VRBO a lot, this home surpassed them all. Thank you so very much! :)

Unique space, good location

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying here. The shipping container house was a unique and comfortable layout. Location was quiet and peaceful in the country, but close enough for a short drive to Viroqua. I would stay here again.

Quiet, cute country stay

The house was so comfortable and cute! The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. It was great to be able to walk on the property and see the deer running through the fields. We loved the quiet country location but so nice to be so close to Viroqua, ( and the Driftless Cafe :).

Perfect in every way!

An old friend and I were in town for a few days to catch up and do some fishing. This place is simply amazing! Very clean and comfortable and private while being only minutes from town and as many trout streams as two old timers could handle! Would whole heartedly recommend and will definitely be back! Thank you!

Recent stay at the hillside hideaway

It was a great experience! We stayed here for a recent wedding at Vernon vineyards and it was about 5 miles from the venue. It was the perfect place for our family to stay and has accurate description. I have no complaints- only good things to say about the property and owner! Thanks for having us!
