Arcadian Cabin at Bishop Branch, creek-front, public land access, great location

The Arcadian Cabin at Bishop Branch Creek

Constructed in the summer of 2017, Arcadian Cabin’s location in the Driftless Area of Southwestern Wisconsin manifests a true park-like atmosphere. Both Crystal Creek and Bishop Branch Creek, are located steps off of the covered deck. The property (3+ acres) boasts a yard perfect for campfires (firewood provided), stargazing, lawn games, or just lounging and relaxing. Additionally, 58 acres of public land adjacent to the property is available for hiking, fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, bird watching, and other outdoor activities - no need to drive, these activities are all accessible on-site as soon as you walk out the front door.

At the end of the day, the 16’x28’ cabin which boasts an 18-foot tall ceiling in the main room will welcome you and up to five additional guests (sleeps six). The two bedrooms, bathroom, full kitchen, electric heat, bathtub and shower, electric appliances, Satellite TV, WiFi, a storage shed for your use, and many other features will make your stay enjoyable and stress-free.

The location of The Arcadian is ideal for any traveler’s needs. Viroqua, the county seat of Vernon County, is less than 5 miles away and has numerous shops, festivals, a challenging golf course, and high-quality restaurants available. In addition to the public land out the front door, the Kickapoo Valley Reserve is less than 10 minutes away - providing canoeing, hiking, hunting, fishing, and numerous other outdoor activities and well over 8,000 acres to roam.

We added a storage shed to the property where you can lock up some of your gear and dry out your waders. There are also yards games, the charcoal grill, a gas grill, and other items in the storage shed for your use.

Award-winning restaurants, Wonderstate Coffee, several wineries (Vernon Vineyards, Branches Winery), movie theater, seasonal farmer's market, minutes from Organic Valley and Go Macro headquarters, antique and specialty shops, and The Historic Temple Theatre are just a few of the local attractions just minutes from The Arcadian. The Mississippi River is 30 minutes away and larger towns like La Crosse and Madison are both easily accessible by State Highway 14.

Wonderful stay at the Arcadian Cabin
I had a wonderful stay at the Arcadian Cabin after choosing to squeeze in a quick week of vacation prior to Memorial Day to avoid the crowds. It was the perfect rental for a relaxing, bucolic, yet convenient location. Nestled off the road on a nice large wooded lot, with a creek running along the property and the Bishop's Branch at the end of the driveway. Perfect for fishing or just enjoying the sounds and sights of nature. The Arcadian Cabin doesn't just have location going for it. The cabin itself is quaint, charming and has all the modern amenities I was looking for in a rental. Tastefully decorated, comfortable furniture(including the beds!). The hosts, Jake and Becky, were also fantastic. Very responsive and informative even with spotty signals in the Driftless. They went the extra step to ensure I had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at both their cabin and in the Driftless. Thank you Jake and Becky. The

Enjoyable week of fishing
My husband is a flying fisherman learning more about his hobby. This was our second trip to the Driftless and a second chance to stay in a property owned by Jake and Becky. The Arcadian Cabin is a wonderful location to stay for our trip out this time. It is comfortably furnished with lots of little welcoming additions to help make the stay easy. The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials. The one bedroom downstairs was perfect for our stay with just the two of us. The loft above was equally nice if we need the extra room. Cozy and comfortable are the best description I have for the cabin. The location of the site was perfect for fishing, wandering around the area, and enjoying all of the great food in Viroqua. Restaurants and stores were nice to visit and provided great service. We are already planning our next visit and hope to find the Arcadian Cabin at Bishop's Branch open and waiting for us. Thanks Jake and Becky for providing a nice atmosphere for all who come by to share the view, activities, and nature.

Wonderful adventure, sweet hosts
The hosts left a precious note and gift for my son and our family with hot cocoa and a little wooden fish. We had a wonderful time trail blazing all over the property, along the creek, and through the acreage of public land adjoining the property. Great find! Would book again!

Driftless Seclusion
Beautiful home and property. Sound of the running creek while relaxing outside was perfect. House contained all amenities needed for a relaxing, secluded break from the fast pace of everyday life.
