About this property
Arcadian Cabin/WaterSong Cabin, Bishop Branch Class 1 trout stream, DNR land
**Please note--As the new owner of the cabin, I am excited to welcome guests back to the same wonderful experience they are accustomed to at this amazing property--formerly The Arcadian at Bishop Branch and now WaterSong Cabin (because of all the bubbling water on the property). As your host, I strive to make your time here the best it can be. You will find that I am responsive to your needs and requests, as well as knowledgeable about local happenings.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Driftless at this cozy cabin just 5 miles from Viroqua on a quiet dead-end lane. Tucked into 6 acres, the property features endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. It is bordered by two creeks, including Bishop Branch class 1 trout stream, and is adjacent to many acres of forested DNR public land. Whether you are looking for excellent fishing, hunting, foraging, or birding, or are simply seeking a relaxing vacation away from the bustle of modern life, you'll find it here.
If you'd like to venture off the property, nearby Viroqua is a unique and thriving small town with lovely parks, a wonderful Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings, several award-winning restaurants, art galleries, a yarn shop, bookstores, a record store, a theatre, live music, and much more. In the countryside surrounding Viroqua are numerous county parks and DNR land that highlight the lovely hills, streams, and lakes of the Driftless.
After a day of exploring all the Driftless has to offer, come home to relax and unwind as you listen to the bubbling creek, sit around a flickering fire, admire the view from the covered porch, or snuggle on the couch. Inside the well-kept cabin, guests will find a fully stocked kitchen and comfortable bedrooms with a queen bed, a full bed, two twin beds, and a sofa bed, just perfect for a group or family.
Coffee and tea lovers--If you love your coffee, you'll be happy to find not only local and organically sourced coffees and teas stocked at the cabin, but also a French press and WonderState Coffee whole beans, with a grinder to process them on the spot. There is also a Keurig coffee maker with cups provided, or a coffee pot with loose coffee provided. A variety of teas are available as well, including green, black, mint, chamomile, and more.
Dog lovers--Although we are not officially a "pets allowed" property, we love dogs, too, and are open to welcoming well-behaved dogs as long as they stay outside the home, are on a leash at all times, don't bark at night, and stay off the deck furniture. Please ask about this option before bringing your dog. Thank you!
Kids--This is a wonderful property for kids to enjoy the wonders of nature in the easily accessible, kid-friendly creeks and woods! Let me know if you'd like extra toys or art supplies for your children. I am a teacher and lead nature camps here in the valley. I would love to help make your child's experience here extra special, and the vacation time more relaxing for you hard-working parents.
This cabin is managed in an eco-friendly manner, using dye and fragrance-free cleaners and soaps and recycled paper products. Recycling receptacles are provided. Lawn care uses organic practices.
In summary, the convenient location of this delightful oasis invites guests to enjoy a peaceful retreat in nature with all the amenities they need. We know you'll love your time here.
