Sugar River Retreat - 50 acres - Seclusion!

Welcome to Sugar River Retreat - a 50-acre haven near the Driftless Area, offering an idyllic blend of adventure and relaxation. Explore the pure waters of Norwegian Creek by kayak, passing under a historic covered bridge adjacent to the property. Fish from the dock on a private lake or hike trails that weave through this private nature preserve. This secluded escape offers a rare connection to nature’s beauty in Southern Wisconsin’s breathtaking outdoors.

Sugar River Retreat is a living landscape. Our 50 acres of prairie, woodlands, and wetlands are being actively restored to support a diverse and healthy ecosystem. We are proud to partner with the Southern Wisconsin Land Conservancy (SWLC) in developing and carrying out our conservation goals.
Because restoration doesn’t follow a strict schedule, you may occasionally see us—or our partners—working in distant parts of the property. Activities might include seed collection, trail maintenance, or removing invasive plants. Rest assured, all work takes place far from the cabin, yard, and lake to ensure your privacy and relaxation.
From time to time, the University of Wisconsin also hosts workshops in the wetlands or along Norwegian Creek, giving guests a unique glimpse into hands-on conservation in action.
