About this property

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 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.

About the host

Hosted by Jake & Becky Gehrke

Host profile image
We (Jake and Becky) have deep roots in the Driftless Area, growing up just minutes from Viroqua. In 2013 we decided to return to the area and raise our 3 children. We both work in education, Jake as a science teacher and Becky as a teacher/interventionist. Our passion for the outdoors, great food, and culture made the choice to move here an easy one. We are so glad to share one of our favorite places with you.

What makes this property unique

There are many VRBO properties in the Driftless area but we feel that ours has an incredible location that feels like a park while being 5 minutes to the town of Viroqua. Bordered by public land and on a Class A trout stream, the Arcadian is that much more inviting. Location, location!
