Relaxing Retreat

My hubby & I had a fabulous, fun & unique 25th Anniversary here! Beautiful area, lots of wild life, relaxing hot tub & scenic drives to the nearby towns. “Coffee on the River” is a cute place for breakfast & the Great River Road is a must! Thank you John for the gift card & wine! Den & Amy

Lovely Stay!

My best friend and I stayed in this cabin for a fun get together. We would highly recommend it! The hot tub was a plus and the area was very lush and well maintained. Our dogs also enjoyed their time getting to explore the area and having so much room in the yard. Thanks for a great stay!

Girls Trip

My daughter and I have been finding unusual places for a quick girls getaway and this place did not disappoint. Check in was so easy and we received a code to enter. Check out was easy with a checklist to complete. Great communication with owner. We were able to bring out small old dog with once we paid a small extra fee, 40. The place was a perfect time to spend time together and make memories. I'd definitely recommend!

Caboose adventure

Very nice well appointed and secluded get-away. Cozy cast iron stove took the spring chill off. It is well located for my adventure visiting a number of the state parks in SW Wisconsin.

Amazing Reset

I booked this trip for my boyfriend who is obsessed with trains. This was a great surprise for him and came at the perfect time after a stressful weekend. It was such a great get away and a good reset before jumping back to reality. There were some concerning areas with hair left in the shower, a brown sludge/ residue in the hot tub, and overall dirt/ dust build up in the caboose. We definitely will be back!

Loved it!

We loved our stay! We were here in single digit weather and still had a blast. We enjoyed the complimentary wine, cozy hot tub, and nearby hiking. The snow was magical. We'd love to come back again to experience the caboose in warmer weather. Thanks for a great stay!
