The cabin was clean, comfortable and cozy with beautiful views of the fall foliage! We enjoyed the hiking trails nearby and even did a little fishing. We would definitely stay again!
This is an awesome little cabin in a great spot! Basically everything we needed was on site when we arrived and the property is exactly what we wanted and exactly as described. I will definitely be coming back again!
Enjoyed “roughing it” in this small simple cabin for a weekend away with my daughter. The cabin provided all essential needs. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, which is hard to come by in most rentals. The smart TV worked flawlessly, which is also not often the case. Property manager graciously turned on the air conditioning unit for us prior to our arrival, which was greatly appreciated on a warm weekend, and there we ample fans to circulate the cooler air. Only opportunity would be to lend some attention to quality of cleanliness. The kitchen counter had hairballs and crumbs on it and the whole place could use a good vacuuming. But overall an adequate stay for our purposes while in Viroqua.
This property was perfect for what my husband and I needed when visiting the Driftless Area for fishing. Air conditioner worked great, kitchen was well stocked and the view from the front porch is beautiful! Be sure to visit Liberty Bar jus down the road. One thing to note, the cabin is not far off the road so you can hear vehicles when they pass. This wasn't a problem for us, but it might be for someone who is looking for an off the grid experience.
Short comfortable stay. Exactly how the listing describes. Slight mishap at check in but once resolved stay was great. Host was very easy to reach. Cabin was clean and cozy.
I’d like to give my stay a bad review but I can’t. Everything was great! From the communication to the property to the fishing, couldn’t have been better. With that said, everyone stay away so I can plan my next trip there. LOL
Really enjoyed our weekend here for fishing. View from the porch was excellent. Kitchen has everything we needed. The linens were nice, pillows brand new and comfy.
Bishop Creek Cabin was everything we could have hopes for in a rental. The perfect size for our trio, we never felt cramped despite the size of the space. In a perfect location to get to any fly fishing spot you would like, close enough to town that its not the end if the world if you need to run up for something. The best part is how little you do need to leave once you are set up. The hardest part was leaving our porch in the mornings to start our day, the view from the adirondack chairs could hold you for hours. Plus the fire pit to sit by at night and the charcoal grill to turn $10 walmart steaks into steakhouse quality NY Strips. The cabin still feels like a dream.
Thanks to Evan and the family for offering it up to us for the week.
overall the place was great. But, I wanted to open windows for fresh air, when I did there were large creepy crawlies in the channels and they were very dirty. Looked like they had not been cleaned out in some time.
We so enjoyed our stay at this cabin- complete with a gorgeous view, cozy cabin with a smart use of the space/all the necessities, lots of outdoor time trout fishing, front porch sitting and evening campfires before bed. It was just what our sons needed as a summer adventure. Thank you!
Super cute and cozy log cabin. Great location for trout fishing and Viroqua access. Lovely view.

About the host
Hosted by Evan Draeger
Evan and Jennifer both grew up in Wisconsin and met while in college at UW-La Crosse. There, they both fell in love with the bluffs and hills of Southwest Wisconsin. Shortly after getting married, they traveled Europe where they first discovered the brilliance of room and house rentals. They loved meeting locals and staying off the “beaten path.”
Why they chose this property
Evan and Jen purchased the property in July of 2017 after many trips back and forth to the Driftless Region in search of the perfect land they could enjoy as a family. After viewing the little Amish cabin and taking a couple strolls through the woods, they knew it was the idyllic location for sweet little family getaways. They appreciate all the great things the area has to offer such as hiking, canoeing the Kickapoo River, fishing, antiquing, great restaurants, organic farming, and harvest season festivities.
What makes this property unique
A setting like no other! Enjoying the coziness of our cabin while being able to witness nature at its best is priceless! Sitting on the deck is so relaxing, seeing the eagles soar over the cabin, and listening to the bubbling of Bishop Branch while having picnics is a true escape from reality and a tiny home away from home.
