About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Social Distance in Our Gorgeous, Private Retreat in the Woods

Rest assured we are taking extra measures to disinfect the property between rental groups.

This cozy cabin in the woods is located atop the beautiful rolling hills of the Driftless area, just outside of Cross Plains, WI. Nestled on 10 acres of forest, this warm rental is the perfect getaway for a private winter weekend away, a nature/yoga/artist retreat, or a road biking vacation. Located just 30 minutes from downtown Madison, you'll have the peaceful living experience, while being just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Wisconsin's capital city.

Go hiking, snowshoeing, or biking right out of the front door. Visit nearby Mount Horeb, Tyrol Basin, American Player's Theater, or Taliesin. Or just sit by the fire and enjoy complete privacy. Regardless, this cabin will give you everything you need to get away.

About 2,500 square feet with four bedrooms (three with Queen beds and one with bunk beds), the home also includes 3.5 baths, a large dining room, a sunroom, two living room areas, laundry on-site, two large wood stoves, huge decks, high-speed internet (if you must work), and much more.

Base rate for up to 4 guests, additional guest fee applies for each guest over 4. Minimum stay of 3 nights.

Comfortable stay
Plenty of space to spread out. Lovely location in the woods. If there had been snow, I’m north sure we could have found the driveway or made it up the hill to the house. Driveway obscured by leaves. A few minor suggestions. Amount of tableware needs to be checked. Not enough for the group. The frying pans do not work on the induction stove. Game cabinets need straightening up and firestarters replenished.

Perfect place for us
Great cabin in a quiet woods. Stayed for four days in early September. We were in Madison for the Ironman. About a 25 min drive to the venue. Cabin is exactly as described in the listing. We did not use grills or fireplace but bedrooms/bathrooms/living spaces were all clean and in good order. Jason was very responsive to questions and gave me updates throughout the week. It's very secluded and no yard so not the best place for younger children who might need outdoor time but perfect for adults who want to get away from the city. I would definitely book this place again if we should decide to return to the area.

Solid if not spectacular
The house itself was pretty good for what we needed - which was mostly a place to sleep. The beds were comfortable, the basement was nicely cooled, and the house was generally clean. However, multiple bathrooms had issues with standing water in the showers. It would drain after you finished, but I'm not a fan of the water pooling around my feet while I shower. Also, while it didn't affect what we wanted to do, a lot of the areas directly around the house were very overgrown with weeds, which was somewhat off-putting. And the main picture displayed is a view of the back of the house, which to me is a bit deceptive, because when you come up on the house, the front is a completely different look. Overall, the house was very nice except those small bathroom issues and some exterior things. Would recommend staying here.

Peaceful cabin in the woods
My wife and I got married in a town nearby and spent the next 3 days/nights at this cabin and loved it. It’s nicely hidden from the road, very quiet and remote (but still very close to Cross Plains/Madison/Mt. Horeb if you want to range out). It was well-stocked with the items you’d expect to have at a rental place and I also found plenty of things I didn’t expect to see: DVDs, lots of books, board games, extra cooking ingredients and items, etc. Combine this with all the bedrooms and beds at the place and it’d make a great spot for a quiet family retreat, friends reunion, etc. On top of that, Jason was very responsive and helpful throughout the stay. Would recommend!

Beautiful home in the woods
The house is beautiful and full of light, quiet and very good for families or friends to gather. The one downside is there are many steps/levels to the house and these are not marked, potentially leading to falls. Not recommended for those with balance/knee/leg problems or those who cannot handle stairs. Otherwise we had a terrific time.

Gorgeous setting, lovely and flexible house, responsive owner
Our family of four spent the weekend while running back & forth from Tyrol Basin for a ski race. The home was spotless, charming & a great place to unwind after a long day on the hill. Waking up & watching the sun creep up over the tree filled hillside while sipping a cup of coffee in the back room that has wall to ceiling windows is a true treat! Then watch the sun set to a crackling fireplace… Our kids are already asking when we can come back. Jason was an excellent host making sure we got in okay & promptly answered any questions we would have.

Cozy Cabin in the woods
This was a beautiful relaxing spot that feels like secluded wilderness but is 15 minutes from Madison. Great location and beautiful cabin. The kitchen was a little challenging to prep meals in as a family. Limited counter space and a TINY dishwasher. We also found evidence of mice which was gross. But other than that the cabin was beautiful. Plenty of firewood was supplied and there's room to spread out. I think the pricing needs reconfigured. The additional charges for more than 4 people is insane.

Great getaway!
Perfect getaway for our family. We used it as a hub to visit Cave of the Mounds, House on the Rock, family in Madison and Devil’s Lake State Park. I loved the little nooks for reading with my coffee or Bloody Mary. The kids loved the high speed internet! Communication with the property manager was excellent.

This cabin fit our group of 6 so well. Each family had our own area and own bathroom. Plenty of common spaces to use and spread out. Or to be together. Very clean! The location is nicely remote....but only 15-20 minites from plenty of stores, and .Madison. We enjoyed seeing more of the small towns just outside of Madison. Great communication and we'll stocked with all that was needed.

What a great large log cabin with all of the things you need. My 2 siblings snd I got a chance to relax in the house, enjoyed the grill to BBQ, and go to nearby places like Mt Horeb (CUTE town! Only 3-5 miles away), and work out at Planet Fitness about 7 minutes the other way towards Madison.
