About this property

Gorgeous two bedroom located in the forest right on the Nordic Trail. Walk right onto the miles of hiking/cross country skiing trails and a just a quick couple mile ride to the John Muir and Emma Carlin mountain bike trail heads.

Hang out with Alpacas, get fresh eggs from the chicken coup, be entertained by our goofy Nigerian goats and don't forget to met Angel, Charlie and Poopsie! Enjoy coffee with the views of the pond or relax by the fire pit. It all awaits you on your relaxing get away!

There are two large bedrooms, a king and a queen. The great room has plenty of room to relax. There is also a work out facility with a tread mill, TRX, weights and a trainer for your bike. The stocked kitchenette has granite counters, a Keurig, hot plate, microwave and toaster oven. A private entrance gets you all the benefits of a whole house rental with the high touch customer service of a B&B. It's a perfect get away for couples or families ready to get away and unwind!

We are located in the town of La Grange, just 10 miles from UW Whitewater, 10 miles from Alpine Valley, 20 miles away from Lake Geneva and under an hour drive to both Madison and Milwaukee.

Local attractions in addition to Nordic, John Muir and Emma Carlin include Scuppernong, Lapham Peak and Old World Wisconsin. We also have a number of local experiences we can hook you up with including cooking classes, state park tours, pottery glazing classes and candle making. Please take note that we are in the Kettle Moraine and during the winter months a 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicle is required.

Free Wifi, a bottle of wine and lots of great memories await you in this great escape!

Great location

We were greeted by the owner and was given a tour of the property (beautiful). The accommodation's were clean and beds were very comfortable. They had bread and danish on the counter, eggs and a couple beers in the fridge. Would recommend this to anyone!

A gem

This getaway to the Nordic Den far exceeded our expectations. We savored every moment. A lovely house situated in beautiful surroundings, and with a number of wonderfully cared-for animals who want for nothing. The love of and respect for nature and its creatures are so very apparent. Thank you, Jarvis and Chris, for making possible such an amazing fall weekend. What a special place. We will be returning!

Beautiful, relaxing place!

My husband and I and one other couple were in the area for a wedding this weekend and wanted to stay somewhere relaxing that wasn't a hotel. We are all homesteaders at heart, just haven't found the right piece of land yet, so it was absolutely wonderful to get to meet and play with all of the goats, chickens, ducks, alpacas, and of course the very sweet donkey, mule, and pony. The property is stunningly beautiful and Chris and Jarvis were so welcoming. We were given eggs from the chickens, bacon, pastries, bread, and a bottle of wine and told that if we needed anything else, including more eggs, just ask. Everything was very clean and there was plenty of towels and bedding. The back porch and pool area were lovely. Chris recommended a local supper club for Friday fish fry, The Nitingale, which was delicious. Our only regret was that we were only there for the weekend and had to spend most of Saturday at the wedding! We will definitely be back. :)

The Den

What a weekend! Myself and my children just experienced the most relaxing weekend at The Den! Such a clean and beautifully maintained property with the most welcoming and accommodating hosts! My kids got to pick fresh chicken eggs, and a quail egg- then got to cook them right up fresh! We will definitely be returning!

Why they chose this property

We love the outdoors. Whether that's hiking, biking, skiing or just watching all of mother natures beauty! Our property sits on 6.5 acres in the rolling hills and trees of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Our location has allowed us a chance to enjoy the beauty of the forest and create a great little farm filled with chickens, goats and Alpacas!
