Tanager is an impeccable, private cabin surrounded by woods and hiking trails, a short drive from Viroqua. Tanager, named for the Scarlet Tanager spotted on the 75-acre Driftless Creek property, has a modern style, and is full of comforts and charms for you. Tanager features a seating area with adjoining kitchen with built-in appliances, first-floor bedroom, roomy loft with a king bed, and screened porch. Tanager sleeps 5.

The space

Driftless Creek offers light-filled, clean-lines, full-amenity modern cabins, each private from the other, nestled in the woods, a 15 minute drive from Viroqua. Down a scenic dirt road, and up a private driveway, you will enter our 75 acres of ridgetop forest between two spring-fed streams. We offer almost 2 miles of trails on property for hiking, mountain-biking, or snow-shoeing. Adjacent state natural areas on 3 sides enhance the remote wilderness feeling. The quiet is restorative and the dark nights are perfect for star-gazing. This really might be the place where you pick up a book or a well-maintained ukulele or guitar we provide, or let the hours go by in a hammock on the screened porch. We are known for top-quality comfort, including memory foam mattresses with 100% cotton and down bedding, glass and tile showers with a heated bathroom fan, Jøtul wood stoves inside and fire rings outside with seasoned firewood at the ready, and heating and cooling options that keep you cozy no matter the season. Our wifi is network grade. Our water is sourced from a deep well and filtered. And our kitchens are stocked with everything you need, including a dishwasher, coffee maker, coffee grinder, and local coffee beans. Our cabins are sparkling clean and we guarantee that everything on premises is fully operational. Driftless Creek offers a place for you to gather yourself, your family, your friends, and even your pets, surrounded by the abundance and peace of nature and all that the area has to offer. Whether it is the beautiful rolling hills, the trout streams, the inspired food offerings, or the charming towns, we look forward to hosting you in the Driftless area of Wisconsin.

Other details --

The kitchen includes a compact refrigerator, cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, dishes and cooking supplies. The kitchen does not include an oven.

A Weber gas grill is available for your use on the porch.

The bathroom includes a European style combined washer/dryer unit.

We have commercial grade WIFI, with fiber optic cable run to the property, with 100Mbit downloads, allowing you to stream movies or videoconference. There is no TV in the cabin.

There is a private bedroom with a queen size bed on the first floor, and a loft with both a king and twin bed.

The large screened in porch is accessible via the side door and has additional seating, a dining table and chairs, and a hammock.

Bed linens, towels and extra blankets are provided.

Because the cabin is shaded, the ceiling fan is often sufficient for cooling, and we also provide a high capacity window AC unit that can cool the entire cabin.

Heating includes baseboard electric heaters controlled by a thermostat, supplemental heat in the kitchen, and the option to use a Jøtul wood stove (with all fire starting materials and ample seasoned wood).

We love our canine friends, and your dog is welcome and will enjoy walking on the trails. (2 dogs max)

We are located on a wooded 75 acre property surrounded by 300 acres of protected public land with two Wisconsin DNR Class 1 trout streams (Tainter and Mcgraw creeks), filled with Brook and Brown trout. We have over a mile of hiking trails on the property for hiking, biking or snowshoeing.

The cabin is at the top of a steep private drive, 1/2 mile from the public road (Tainter Road). We have two other cabins further down the drive on our property, approximately 1/2 mile away that are not visible. Expect it to be very quiet, and very dark with views of the stars at night. Our closest neighbor is a mile away.

We are a 15 minute drive south of downtown Viroqua with great restaurants and shopping. Be sure to check out the Driftless cafe, the Food Coop, Parish Music and Driftless books.

We plow and salt our private drive after snowfalls but all-wheel drive or a 4x4 vehicles can be helpful in the winter.

    Always like to get away with my dog at the end of February. This cabin was PERFECT. There was no one else around. The trails around the property were fun for me and my dog. The cabin itself was also super nice and just like the pictures. I’m sure it’s even more beautiful I. The spring and fall.

    If you’re looking for a cozy cabin in a beautiful and peaceful setting this is it. We were amazed at how much Rodney managed to fit inside, even a dishwasher! The little wood-burner kept us warm during an extreme cold spell. I absolutely loved laying in the comfy bed at night and watching the stars through the large window next to the bed.The morning we left our car battery was dead and Rodney managed to save us by having his wonderful housekeeper, Aja, bring jumper cables. She somehow managed to finally get our car started in extreme weather conditions. She saved us hours of time and hundreds of dollars.We would love to return in warmer weather to enjoy the fantastic screened porch.

    What a wonderful winter getaway. Rodney kept us cozy with lots of kindling and firewood and the trails were beautiful. Rodney also replaced a broken coffee maker ASAP so we could be fully caffeinated for our adventures. Can't wait to return.

    Best experience I've had on VRBO. Host was amazing, perfect communication, everything exactly as advertised. It snowed on the day of our arrival and the host provided great directions that kept us on main roads and had everything plowed for a safe arrival. The property is amazing. If you're looking for peace in nature, this is a 10/10. Hope to come back again!

    My husband and I had a peaceful vacation in Viroqua. The cabin was beautifully decorated with all the things you need to getaway from the hustle and bustle. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed having the air conditioner because it was a hot week when we stayed. The screen porch was where we hung out the most! We did bring a small tv and plugged it in on the porch which was so nice! We had great internet the whole time! Rodney also provided firewood for the fire pit which we used nightly! There was a map provided for the trails nearby that we went hiking everyday as well. I would definitely recommend the cabin and Rodney was a great host!!

    My husband, two dogs, and I stayed at this charming cabin and loved it! We would definitely come back in the future. It was lovely to have the screened in porch for morning coffee. The trails around the cabin were great for walks during our stay. The cabin is remote, which was exactly what we were looking for and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The host was very responsive and gave great food recommendations. There was some bad weather before the days before we arrived and the host was quick to reach out about the roadways and the best way to navigate to the cabin. Overall a wonderful stay!!
