About this property

3 Br/2bath on the South Fork of the Bad Axe River

This beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath cabin is nestled in the center of the Ocooch Mountain Range. Sit outside on one of the porches, enjoy nature at its absolute best and hear the ripple of the Bad Axe River. Anglers from across the country have come to test their skills in many of the area's top producing trout streams. The Bad Axe River runs alongside the cabin and is accessible at the bottom of the hill or via trail from the property. This cozy cabin features a living room, dining area, bathroom w/laundry and bedroom on the main floor, spacious bedroom in the loft, and a finished lower level that includes a bedroom, bathroom, family room with a small bar area and walk out patio. One mile to the Norwegian Hollow Hideaway Bar & Grill. Only 15 min to Viroqua, 40 min S of LaCrosse, 2 hrs NW of Madison.

Contemporary Rustic Cabin
Terrific contemporary yet rustic cabin nestled within the beautiful Driftless hills, streams and valleys. Close to great trout fishing and to Viroqua for supplies … or a good restaurant! Bright, cheery log home interior with an outstanding modern kitchen, big screen TV, internet, fireplace, plush furniture, outside decks, comfy beds and a fire pit outside. Comfortably accommodated our group of six. Our host was easy to reach and responsive to our requests. Great place! Enjoyed our stay!

This property is beautiful, high up in the hills, very private. The cabin is amazing. Had everything we could possible need. Linda-the caretaker- was also wonderful. Easy access to LaCrosse for shopping among other places to visit. Would recommend this place to other adults and families. Thank you for everything. Nancy

We meet up 2 times a year once in Wisconsin and once in Illinois. This was the Wisconsin visit - we both have a dog but they cannot be by each other. The set up of this house worked perfectly. Nothing baby gates couldn’t separate. Beautiful home.

June b'day celebration
Beautiful cabin; very private with lots of "wildlife at large" in the form of a deer and her twin fawns! This is the place for you if interested in R&R in a beautiful surrounding. Kitchen well stocked with whatever we needed; the beds are VERY comfy. Firepit was great for roasting hot dogs and making smores. Great place to celebrate our June birthdays and town close by if supplies are needed. Check out Sidie Hollow Park for a walk around its "lake" for the view and the exercise. We hope to return in future!

What a beautiful spot
A truly beautiful, quiet getaway. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the wildlife. The property was clean and well supplied. My wife has a bad back and would have appreciated a firmer mattress, so others who need a very very firm mattress should be aware, but the rest of us were quite satisfied.

Driftless Charm
Hard to imagine a property that matches amenity with the charm of the Driftless region, but that's exactly the case with the Serendipity House. I sat on the porch for about 25-30 minutes using a bird call ID, which registered 21 different species. Top quality location, top shelf hosts and a future reservation already in the plans.

Beautiful Property
We'd loved our stay at this cabin on the Bad Ax. It housed our group of 6 with room to spare. The owners have given so much thought to the smallest details and it was super clean. My husband walked down to the river every morning for several hours of fishing. We hope to stay again!

A fine place!
We enjoyed this lovely, quiet place. Everything works, beds comfortable, nice to be near town but quite removed. The only problem was deep mud right outside the door. We always removed our shoes immediately inside, but the mud did come home with us. Maybe an asphalt pad right in front of the house?

Best trip for my family
When we arrived we didn’t know what to expect and I couldn’t have more excited with the results. The cabin was perfectly located for my family, clean, big enough to each have our own space, and adequately stocked to support our celebration. Thanks for exceeding my expectations and I will be back for sure!!!

Christmas stay
We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at the cabin. It was a perfect winter wonderland. It was warm and cozy even just with the two of us. Every time I looked out or went outside I saw deer. Just beautiful. There is an elevated track and some snow came down before we left. I rang the owners and she sent someone. Within 30 minutes of the call we were on our way home. The area is stunning and we look forward to returning in the summer and would definitely book The Serendipity Cabin again. Thanks Chris and Melissa for sharing you’re home and giving great service.

Perfect cabin surrounded by trees giving lots of privacy. You can hear the river on the porch. It's in one of the best valleys in the area. We can't wait to come again.

AMAZING!
My kids and I had decided to do something we've never done before...spend Christmas in a cabin. This was by far one of the best things we've ever done! From the moment we pulled up the driveway and saw lights lining the rooftop, to the Christmas tree decorated next to the fireplace as we walked in, we knew it was going to be the best Christmas ever! We felt like we were in the mountains. Such a beautiful area! And Melissa was wonderful to communicate with. It truly is a special place and it made our Christmas magical. Thank you Melissa!

Beautiful cabin!
My wife and I were looking for a quiet getaway "off the beaten path" for our 5th wedding anniversary and this cabin did not disappoint! It was a beautiful, spacious, clean cabin with lots of natural light, on a quiet road. We enjoyed spending several mornings and evenings at the cabin, driving into Viroqua and Lansing, IA during the day and enjoying the rolling hills of the Driftless Area. We were a bit sad that the fireplace was not working since we had noticed it in the photos amd hoped for a fire, but the atmosphere of the covered porch looking into the trees and the fog in the morning definitely made up. We also enjoyed eating several home-cookes meals there, eating outside a couple times, and found the porch a wonderful place just to sit outside and relax. We really liked this cabin and hope to return someday. Thank you!

Gorgeous views, lovely home
We really enjoyed our stay at Serendipity Cabin. The views are spectacular. The home is clean and incredibly well appointed. The owners had so many thoughtful touches: the towels were plentiful, cleaning supplies were handy, and the kitchen was stocked full of everything I needed to cook for my family. One of my favorite things was coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening on the larger deck, listening to the birds and watching lightning bugs. It was so peaceful! We felt very relaxed and comfortable. Thank you, Melissa!
