About this property

This newly remodeled house provides peaceful privacy with beautiful views of nature.

Whether family and friends want to be active and take in the surrounding area or wish to simply relax while having a beautiful view, all of this can be accomplished while staying in this home.

Activities and entertainment to fit just about everyone:

BIKERS: There are miles of country back roads plus the Sparta-Elroy bike trails.

CANOE: The Kickapoo river runs through the Wildcat Mountain State Park and the Kickapoo Reserve providing some of the most scenic riverways in the area.

SNOWMOBILE: A short ride on a private trail connects to the State trails near Mt. Tabor. Once on the trails, you have unlimited route options and destinations. Southwest Wisconsin has terrific trails and the most beautiful winter scenery in the state.

FISHING: Two great trout streams--Cheyenne and Billings. Habitat restoration on miles of trout steam completed years ago. Holes of native Brook, Rainbow, and Brown trout. A fisherman's delight!

HUNTING: Thousands of acres of the Kickapoo Reserve is open to the public for hunting. Turkey and whitetail deer hunting is outstanding. Wildlife is abundant including pheasant and small game.

Beautiful, quiet location outside of Ontario

The location of this property was ideal for us; we wanted good access to the Kickapoo River and hiking, and we found both.

Shady Pines Retreat Review

10/10 would stay again. We had 12 people in our group house was big enough to hold all of us comfortably. We had an amazing time playing games inside to going outside and having a fire. One of the nicest Vrbo’s I stayed at and Cedric was very nice and very helpful couldn’t have had a better time!
