About this property
Secluded Rustic-Modern Log Cabin w/ Hot Tub, Private Creekside Escape
Walnut Creek Cabin, formerly known as the Rustic Retreat, is a secluded log cabin on a private stream located in the heart of the Driftless Area. The cabin has recently been renovated to welcome guests into a modern + rustic luxury getaway. The rustic details of the original log cabin have been preserved and reimagined to include an attractive modern design.
During your stay, the serene landscapes of rolling hills, bubbling brooks and wildlife invite you to explore the 10 acres of land with nature walks or while sitting in the hot tub. There is also an outdoor fire pit, screened-in porch, and an indoor gas fireplace to make this your dream retreat. Experience nature and simple living without forgoing all the amenities.
The cabin is located close to the scenic Mississippi River where you can enjoy water sports, fish, and watch spectacular sunsets. Nearby is the Rush Creek State Nature Preserve and also the Villa Louis in historic Prairie Du Chien. During wintertime, enjoy cross county skiing and snowmobiling.
The Space: You will have access to the entire log cabin, which is located in Ferryville, WI. There is a private bedroom on the main level with a full bed and access to the washer/dryer in the closet. The upstairs loft has a queen bed, complete with a Saatva luxury mattress made with eco-responsible materials. There is also a daybed couch, that can convert into a queen-sized bed, and additional seating areas upstairs in the loft. The cabin is fully furnished and also offers Wi-Fi, cable TV and a land line (if you choose to use!) to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay.
The Service Fee you are being charged has nothing to do with KPS. This is a charge that VRBO charges and we have no control over this fee.
Once the reservation is confirmed you will be contacted by a representative from Knutson Property Services (KPS) to finalize your reservation.

Very cute place in beautiful setting! So quiet and peaceful!Had some trouble regulating heat, couldn’t get fireplace to turn on.Could use another comfy chair in “living room”
The design was spot-on and thoughtful — a perfect balance of rustic and modern that made us feel right at home. The attention to detail was evident in all the little things: a record player, DVDs and games, plenty of hooks, and a space that was spotlessly clean throughout.The hot tub and fire pit were standouts — perfect for cozy evenings taking in the surroundings. The seating areas made it easy to relax and unwind.And then there's the location — truly incredible. We felt so lucky to have found this place, and we can't wait to return.

Thank you for taking the time to review our cabin. I do have to ask what we could have done to earn the 5 stars? We thrive on great reviews and after reading your review it sounds like you had a great time. We learn from our reviews so please let me know. Greatly appreciate it.
We had an absolutely amazing time! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and we didnt lack for anything. There's been obvious thought put into covering anything that people may want while visiting. The area is so peaceful! Beautiful grounds, the firepit was perfect, and you can't go wrong with a hot tub! We will definitely be back!

Amber, thank you! It was a pleasure hosting you. Please come back! You were wonderful!
Everything was perfect. Management was very responsive when the hot tub wouldn't go above 99 degrees (it had gone into sleep mode). Very clean, very secluded. Just what we needed to recharge.

Thank you, So much Tony. We hope to see you again in the near future.
Our family loved the time at Walnut Creek Cabin. We found it serene and picturesque. Eric, the property manager, was prompt in addressing any questions we had to our satisfaction. It was the best place we've been in a long time. Thank You!
Cozy little cabin, nice hot tub, cute patio area. Cool hearing coyotes and owls at night. Couch was great for some much needed afternoon naps! Host communicated all necessary info in a timely manner.It was odd having no cabinet space for food and there were too many bugs indoors- but we made it work between counter space and a broom.Overall it was still a nice stay. Thank you.

Hi Meleah,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the cozy feel of Walnut Creek, the patio area, and the peaceful woodland setting — the sounds of the owls and coyotes really do make it a unique Driftless experience!
We did want to address your concerns. The Walnut Creek cabin is one of our smaller, more rustic properties designed for guests who want a simple, woodsy getaway. While cabinet space is limited, we’ve added open shelving and counters to make food storage as convenient as possible within the cabin’s footprint.
As for the bugs — unfortunately, Japanese beetles and box elder bugs tend to emerge this time of year, especially in forested areas like ours. We treat and clean regularly to keep them under control, but being surrounded by nature, it’s nearly impossible to eliminate them completely during seasonal swarms.
We take pride in maintaining clean, comfortable cabins and truly strive for 5-star stays. We’re sorry that these seasonal inconveniences affected your experience. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope you’ll consider another one of our cabins on your next visit — perhaps one that offers a bit more space and is less exposed to the woods.
Warm regards,
Eric Knutson

This was as advertised — a beautiful, clean, and scenic cabin in proximity to hikes, cute towns, and the Mississippi River! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the near future!
Really enjoyed this cabin. Well equipped, cozy and beautiful. Stairs are steep (not a problem for us but could be a concern for some). Only issue was hot tub wasn't working fully - owner was aware and thought it had been fixed but wasn't.
We had a wonderful quiet weekend. The cabin was beautiful and well stocked with everything a couple of girls would need for a weekend away. We're looking forward to coming back.

About the host
Hosted by Knutson Property Services and Cabin Rentals
How our business started.. In 1994 Eric started a small "part time" lawn mowing business for extra money that would eventually turn into much more and a full time career and a family owned company. In 1998 we were asked to manage a Vacation Home and being totally truthful... we had no idea of what we were dong and how fast we would learn. After having a terrible experience Renting a Vacation Rental in Northern Wis. I knew what my future would hold in the Property Management business. It was 3 simple things. 1) Be True and Honest to your Guests, 2) Treat our Guests the way I personally would want to be treated 3) Provide 5 star "Clean" accommodations and be better then the rest! After 20 plus years, KPS has several repeat guests and so many friend ships have been made. Till this day we still hold true to our 3 step system. We hope someday you can come enjoy one of our vacation homes or cabins. We are very proud of our Vacation Properties and the business we have created.
