All of these great features make Bishop Creek Cabin your perfect Southwest Wisconsin getaway!

The cabin was clean, comfortable and cozy with beautiful views of the fall foliage! We enjoyed the hiking trails nearby and even did a little fishing. We would definitely stay again!
This is an awesome little cabin in a great spot! Basically everything we needed was on site when we arrived and the property is exactly what we wanted and exactly as described. I will definitely be coming back again!
Short comfortable stay. Exactly how the listing describes. Slight mishap at check in but once resolved stay was great. Host was very easy to reach. Cabin was clean and cozy.
Really enjoyed our weekend here for fishing. View from the porch was excellent. Kitchen has everything we needed. The linens were nice, pillows brand new and comfy.
This property was perfect for what my husband and I needed when visiting the Driftless Area for fishing. Air conditioner worked great, kitchen was well stocked and the view from the front porch is beautiful! Be sure to visit Liberty Bar jus down the road. One thing to note, the cabin is not far off the road so you can hear vehicles when they pass. This wasn't a problem for us, but it might be for someone who is looking for an off the grid experience.

Cabin was PERFECT!
My son and I spent several days in the area fly-fishing. Cabin was great. It was clean and had everything we needed! Thank you.
We so enjoyed our stay at this cabin- complete with a gorgeous view, cozy cabin with a smart use of the space/all the necessities, lots of outdoor time trout fishing, front porch sitting and evening campfires before bed. It was just what our sons needed as a summer adventure. Thank you!
Our stay at Bishops Creek Cabin was very relaxing. The cabin was located with a nice picturesque view. It was very quiet in the area and a great escape from the bustle of city living. There was just enough amenities to be comfortable. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.
We've stayed twice now as our base to fish the Driftless in SW WI. It has everything you need although it's very small - best suited for 2 people. The front porch is a nice feature because it overlooks the valley and it's pleasant to sit out in the evening and listen to the birds and watch the sky. I'd stay there again.

About the host
Hosted by Evan Draeger
Evan and Jennifer both grew up in Wisconsin and met while in college at UW-La Crosse. There, they both fell in love with the bluffs and hills of Southwest Wisconsin. Shortly after getting married, they traveled Europe where they first discovered the brilliance of room and house rentals. They loved meeting locals and staying off the “beaten path.”
Why they chose this property
Evan and Jen purchased the property in July of 2017 after many trips back and forth to the Driftless Region in search of the perfect land they could enjoy as a family. After viewing the little Amish cabin and taking a couple strolls through the woods, they knew it was the idyllic location for sweet little family getaways. They appreciate all the great things the area has to offer such as hiking, canoeing the Kickapoo River, fishing, antiquing, great restaurants, organic farming, and harvest season festivities.
What makes this property unique
A setting like no other! Enjoying the coziness of our cabin while being able to witness nature at its best is priceless! Sitting on the deck is so relaxing, seeing the eagles soar over the cabin, and listening to the bubbling of Bishop Branch while having picnics is a true escape from reality and a tiny home away from home.
