Quiet countryside shipping container home. Relax or enjoy outdoor recreation

Enjoy a secluded stay in a peaceful country setting. Our modern shipping container home is nestled on a hillside in the corner of our 160 acre farm. This unique space has 2 bedrooms, each bedroom has a queen bed and full closet. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, making it perfect for two couples. The home is complete with a fully stocked kitchen and a bathroom, a commons area and a deck overlooking the countryside. A beautiful 5 min drive from Viroqua and Westby, WI. Two quaint small towns with lots to offer. The Driftless region has a wide variety of year-round outdoors activities to offer. Spend the day trout fishing on nearby streams, biking the Driftless area, canoe the Kickapoo river, or go for a hike at our many parks, and return to the peace and quiet. Enjoy the scenery from the deck or have a bon fire.

Great little getaway

Loved our stay! Was quiet and peaceful just what my wife and I needed for a little getaway. Would have given 5 stars, but the water pressure in the shower was pretty weak and the temperature of the water was all over the place. Wouldn't stay warm.

5th Anniversary Trip

We had a beautiful get-a-way, the house is AWESOME and we plan on staying again in the near future. Thank you for the extended stay, we were grateful that you could accommodate our very short notice to stay an additional day. We travel using VRBO a lot, this home surpassed them all. Thank you so very much! :)

Vernon County Gem

My husband and I spent two beautiful fall days in this very private country setting. The home was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped for any cooking needs even though we chose dining out. Very clean and up to date. Definitely a place we would consider returning to. The location is minutes away from the communities of Westby and Viroqua.

Neat retreat

We were in the area for a wedding, and this was closer to the venue than the closest hotels, so we were glad to get it booked for a long weekend! It was more spacious than expected and fit my spouse and I as well as my parents comfortably. A really nice getaway. The fire pit in the back was a great way to unwind at the end of the day, and it was fun listening to the cows mooing nearby. The owners did a really nice job with the place and are really friendly. I absolutely recommend staying and checking out the nearby towns of Westby and Viroqua. We'd love to come back!

Modern home in beautiful area

We were looking for a cabin within driving distance of the Twin Cities. This fit our tastes perfectly. It had modern furnishings, was quiet and out of the way, and allowed us to relax and enjoy the beautiful Driftless area. The house had everything we needed including hotel-like amenities- i.e. towels and tiny shampoo and conditioner bottles. The hosts gifted us a bottle of local wine and fudge and a note for our anniversary. They were responsive and made useful recommendations for hiking and restaurants nearby. We felt right at home. (Only better because it was clean and quiet!)

This was exactly what they promised it to be. A quiet, hidden, hideaway from the rest of the world. So relaxing! The house was beautiful, comfortable and very clean. The hosts were easy to communicate with and responded promptly. We are so glad we chose Hidden Hillside to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary.
