About this property
A View to a Thrill - Experience a beautiful view of the Upper Mississippi River
The Washington Post featured the Driftless Area in southwestern Wisconsin (and parts of MN, IA, IL) as a top 2026 travel destination to avoid crowds.
Known for its unglaciated, rugged topography of steep bluffs and deep valleys, it offers unique hiking, local food scenes, and a, quiet, scenic retreat.
Recommended Experiences & Logistics:
Activities: Exploring the rolling Mississippi River and its landscape, visiting Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin, visiting the Effigy Mounds National Monument, and visiting local farmers markets.
Landscape: The region is characterized by unique karst geology, trout streams, and a lack of glacial deposits (drift).
This is an ideal space for people to experience solitude and the beauty of Nature.
* Three bedrooms to easily accommodate up to 10 people
* Three bathrooms, each located next to a bedroom
* A wrap around deck, riverside with beautiful views

About the host
Hosted by Ralph Kauten
Ralph and Erica Kauten live in Madison, WI. Growing up on a farm in Iowa, Winn Hites was purchased to provide a meeting space for family in Wisconsin and Iowa. We have owned the property for nearly 20 years and have used it many times for family reunions.

Winn Hites is located above the Mississippi River in the Driftless region of Wisconsin. The area is peaceful, full of wildlife, (mostly deer and turkey), and hosts some of the most beautiful scenery in the midwestern United States.
What makes this property unique
You won't see a more beautiful panoramic view of the upper Mississippi River Valley.
