In a truly spontaneous moment, I decided to take my 14 year old grandson to the Driftless Region for fly fishing, his latest obsession. I knew I couldn't be fussy about accommodations since I only started looking a couple days prior to our visit. Immediately upon arrival I realized we found a fly fishing haven. Not only is this cottage amazingly clean and comfortable, but the West Branch of the Kickapoo River is in the backyard. I was simply looking for a place to sleep while we explored the region. Instead, we spent more time fishing from the "backyard". When we did explore, our rental was an easy and scenic drive to Wildcat Mountain State Park and numerous fishing spots near Viroqua and other smaller communities. The cottage is very comfortable with a well-equiped kitchen, relaxing living room, a large dining area and two bedrooms with super-quality beds. We had great internet speeds (when needed) and a relaxing deck. The firepit near the river was a bonus! Plus, the place is a combination of a fly fishing library and fly tying educational center. Ok, so we didn't catch a lot of fish - this was not the time of year with the heat and lower water levels. But we caught enough to make us want to come back regularly. When a 14-year old tells everyone back home that this was one of the best vacations he ever had, this grandpa considers that a huge win. My next review of Kristyn's place will be after a fishing trip with 1 or 2 of us "old guys" as they're already asking.
