My group had a wonderful time

My group of old high school friends had an awesome stay here. The property was very well maintained and the pictures are a very accurate representation of the building/rooms. I would recommend this property to anyone with a larger group. There is plenty of space for all!

Fun open space!

We rented this place for a winter retreat. It was perfect! A lot of bedrooms, huge great room, a lot of beds, nice kitchens, and a giant rec room in the basement. It couldn't have been better for us. Dan, the owner and builder, obviously put a ton of work and love into this place and it really shows. He was also an excellent host. The views out the back are lovely and the wedding venue is also very nice. We were there for a retreat and not a wedding, but this would be a great place to get married! If you're looking for a barn style wedding with lovely backgrounds, it's got everything you'd want all in one place. I'd highly recommend this property to anyone looking to get away.

Climate Control

Our overall impression was excellent, the property was very clean and well cared for, and the table games in the basement were fun. However, climate control for the whole house was not consistent: the upstairs bedroom was stuffy while the basement was too cool, all controlled by one thermostat. The south ceiling fan lights in the great room near the kitchen were very dim and could not be brightened. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.

Beautiful both inside and out. A place to enjoy your surroundings and appreciate the landscape. Morning coffee around the outdoor fire was some of the best on a brisk morning.

Fantastic Property

I had about 10 friends on the property for 4th of July weekend. Property/house were stunning and very well-kept. Daniel was extremely detailed in his responses to my questions and was incredibly prompt. Everyone was gushing about how we should come back every year. Highly recommend.

Daniel was so pleasant to work with!

First off, Daniel was extremely kind and easy to work with. Even though he lived on the property, he gave us our privacy and only came around when we needed help with something. Other than that, he respected our space and gave us the privacy we needed. The grounds is breathtaking. We felt like we were further than 2 hours away from home. We took over 800 photos because of how beautiful everything was. The cabin was also extremely roomy and homey. We especially loved that each bedroom came with its own bathroom. We had a large group so that accommodation was exactly what we needed. Our stay was perfect. The only downfall was leaving. Thank you so much for hosting us, Dan! We can’t wait to come back!

Spacious, comfortable, convenient

Dan's property was beautiful. There was plenty of room for activities. The lodge itself was clean, had more than enough bedrooms and restrooms. With a party of 11 there was more than enough room for us. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, and he had 2 full sized kitchens (1 upstairs and 1 downstairs) where we could cook all our meals. He also had 2 gas grills to use at our convenience. There was a large game room downstairs where we could relax and play games. Dan also gave us access to his pavilion where we could conduct activities as well. Dan lives on the property so if we needed helped with anything all we had to do was call and he was more than happy to help. We couldn't ask for much more and would recommend this lodge to anybody looking for a fun vacation.

Very accommodating and beautiful we loved our time here.

Very spacious and comfortable, we had our family Christmas gathering here, we fed 38 people and had plenty of room and activities to keep all occupied. Daniel has a beautiful property and very impressive display of mounts and antlers of the deer harvested from his farm. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful, welcoming and spacious

Dan was a fantastic host, very welcoming and accommodating. His place was beautiful and very spacious. We stayed here for a bridal shower with a group of 20 and it was perfect! Plenty of rooms to gather the entire group in one area comfortably. There were clean showers and bathrooms in every room. There were two separate kitchens and plenty of utensils that made cooking meals here a breeze! Would be a great place for a wedding or retreat getaways! Thanks Dan for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Gallagher

Host profile image
I've been an entrepreneur all my life—from excavation, farming, outfitting whitetail deer, operating hotels & restaurants, and more. Everything done has ultimately contributed to making this 500-acre farm as useful and as beautiful as possible. Nothing brings me more joy than sharing it with others.

Why they chose this property

The lodge is located on a countryside farm with a fantastic view from one of the highest elevations in Trempealeau County, WI.

Our rural location offers great stargazing, nature, and wildlife. The paved roads with limited traffic are great for biking. There is a golf course and community pool in the nearby town. If you're looking for even more adventure, the Mississippi River and Black River are nearby.

What makes this property unique

We also offer world-class whitetail deer hunting on the property and have a pavilion on-site for weddings, parties, and other special events. Contact us if you are interested in learning more!
