We simply cannot say enough good things about our experience at the Amish Cabin! Very clean, well-maintained and beautiful cabin with all the necessary amenities. Hosts made sure guests have everything they could possibly need. Warm in the winter! Comfortable beds. Nice walking trails just feet from the property. Peaceful, quiet and natural setting. A great place to really relax and get away! Looking forward to staying there again!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Mertens and Cynthia Von Orthal

Cynthia and I are both artists, Cynthia is trained as an actor and puppeteer and also builds the puppets for shows she creates. We also work together, I'm a musician; saxophone and music production and arranging are my chief occupations.
We live and work in Chicago and have a daughter, Avalon who is 10 and who loves to spend time at the cabin.

Why they chose this property

We bought this land in 2007 because we have always dreamed of having a place of quiet and solitude to retreat, heal and meditate. The land was the back 40 acres of a dairy farm; woods, hills and meadow with an apple orchard, perfect for hiking and exploring. Our neighbors/caretakers are an Amish family and they use a portion of the meadow for grazing.
The land was undeveloped and we put in a well for water, electrical service and a driveway from Trout Creek Road to the ridge where the cabin sits.

The log cabin was built for us by Irwin Schmucker, a local Amish craftsman.
We hope our guests enjoy the quiet and seclusion that we find here.

What makes this property unique

The Driftless Region is appealing to us because we have friends in the area and also because of it's unique topography and history. Untouched by the great glaciers, the hills and river valleys are ancient and uniquely scenic. The land was inhabited for millennia by Native American tribes who found rich land for hunting and fishing.
Nowdays the area has a mix of traditional and organic farming with a large Amish community. The town of Viroqua is close by on route 14 where you can find grocery, hardware, a nice food co op and restaurants. The area is also known for it's outstanding and plentiful trout streams, a prime destination for fly-fishing enthusiasts. We have enjoyed canoeing on the Wisconsin River, rentals are available in nearby Boscobel for day trips.
