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.

Notes:
-The minimum age for cabin rental is 24 years of age. Exceptions may be considered on an individual basis, please contact us directly.

-There is a 2 or 3 night minimum stay, depending on the time of year.

Great stay at Arcadian!

Beautiful cabin, location and stay at the Arcadian in the wonderful Driftless region! Enjoyed the quiet valley and nearby creek while having coffee and reading on the porch! Cabin was very clean and had all we needed for a relaxing stay! So many great things to do in the surrounding area, visting the Kickapoo Valley Reserve to hike and bike, Viroqua, wineries, and kayking on the Kickapoo River! Thanks for a great stay!

Arcadian cabin is smack in the middle of Wisconsin’s Driftless Area, surrounding by incredible fly fishing in all directions, including a small trout stream right in front of the house. Jake and Becky were communicative and easy hosts. Would recommend.

This cabin was clean and comfortable. It’s situated in a peaceful little meadow, and is a great place to relax and watch wildlife. My husband and grandson had great success trout fishing in Bishop Branch Creek which runs right along the property. It’s very close to Viroqua which is a nice little town with restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed our stay. We hope to return!

Great place to stay

We had a great time staying here for a spring fishing trip. The cabin is nice, clean, private and located in a great spot. If you're fishing, they even have a nice shed to store your stuff along with boot hangers. We had a nice time sitting on the porch after some long days as well as sitting by a fire one night. They even had all the firewood ready for us next to the firepit. We would certainly stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place.

Girls Weekend

This was such a cozy, clean, welcoming little cabin in a quiet valley only a 10-minute drive (at most) into Viroqua. Lovely big table for crafts, puzzles, knitting, games, or just sitting and chatting! Tons of natural light!!Word of caution that most of the extra beds are upstairs, so people sleeping upstairs should be comfortable climbing the ladder.I would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Jake and Becky, for sharing your slice of paradise with us and for being such welcoming hosts! Little cup of cocoa for the soul.

Winter Wonderland at the Arcadian

This was my second stay at the Arcadian. It was just as pleasant and relaxing as my first. Winter as opposed to late Spring, but the Arcadian was just as comfortable, conveniently and practically supplied and furnished with all the amenities an individual, couple or small family may need. Warm and cozy inside while it was cold and snowy outside.Winter adds a whole new perspective and beauty to the Driftless region. The Arcadian Cabin is situated in the perfect location to experience that beauty: a nice large clearing, surrounded by wooded hills and nestled alongside two small creeks.I'm hoping for more pleasant stays at the Arcadian in the future.

Fantastic Cabin In Viroqua

We loved our stay at The Arcadian. Perfect for nature lovers looking for outdoor activities, and also perfect for people who want to visit town nearby—at just 8 minutes away, it’s the best of both worlds. Jake and Becky were very courteous and communicative hosts as well. Highly recommend this experience.

Nice cabin/location. Beware of ladder access to 2nd BR, No Trespassing signs on stream in photo

This is a great cabin for a related couple using only the main bedroom and not planning on cooking full meals. Access to the 2nd bedroom requires climbing an 8-foot ladder. Climbing up/down the ladder to access your belongings or using the bathroom is unsafe and frustrating. While there is a picture of the ladder in the property description, the ladder is not shown in the 2nd bedroom photos. There is a picture showing of the BR with the top of the ladder but it's not obvious this is the only access. We were looking for a cabin with "walk out the front door" flyfishing access. This property looked perfect with Bishop Branch several hundred feet away. Unf the photos in the description are inaccurate because they don't show the No Trespassing signs on both sides and hose strung across the stream. I sent an email describing these and other issues. VRBO limits reviews to 1500 characters so I'm only mentioning a few of the issues here. The host called me (I prefer email) to tell me we should have reached out about the condition of the cookware (nonstick pans shedding nonstick material) and they would have replaced. Since we were already cooking dinner that wouldn't have helped. We expected usable cookware in an Exceptional VRBO property. During the call with the host, I brought up the inaccurate stream and 2nd bedroom ladder photos. After15 frustrating minutes of back and forth I gave up, said goodbye and hung up. Nice property, nice people not a premium experience

Nature speaks here

What a place. If you’re looking for a babbling brook, birds singing, crickets chirping, stars shining, hammock swinging, glowing fire kinda place, you will find it here! And did I mention a clean and tastefully decorated cabin? Yup! You get that too. We were pleasantly surprised by all the extras this place had to offer. And the hosts were wonderful to communicate with and took care of a need above and beyond what we asked. Took day trips to neighboring towns and then right back to this sweet little place. Easy run into town for anything you need. Storage shed was great for our bikes (local bike shop was so helpful in finding good trails). Good coffee at the Food Coop and shorter lines than Wonderstate. We went in Sept and leaves were just starting to turn and almost no mosquitoes, even by the brook (which is worth the trip alone, so peaceful and relaxing). Beautiful scenic drives. County Road D is great to stop at some of the Amish farms for goodies. Love the variety this area of WI gives you.

Beautiful cabin!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Arcadian! The cabin was just like the photos. It’s not large, but was good for 4 people, especially since we were outside a lot. The ladder to the loft is steep, but that can be an adventure for the kids! Cute bedroom with 3 beds up there! The two window a/c units cooled the space down without any problems. We enjoyed just sitting on the porch and looking out over the large yard. We tried fishing in the creeks, but the water was very low, so no luck. We enjoyed our lunch at the Driftless Cafe and a canoe trip up and down the Kickapoo River.through Wildcat Mountain State Park. This was a very nice cabin for a relaxing getaway!
