Whitewater, Wisconsin
Gorgeous two bedroom located in the forest right on the Nordic Trail. Walk right onto the miles of hiking/cross country skiing trails and a just a quick couple mile ride to the John Muir and Emma Carlin mountain bike trail heads.
Hang out with Alpacas, get fresh eggs from the chicken coup, be entertained by our goofy Nigerian goats and don't forget to met Angel, Charlie and Poopsie! Enjoy coffee with the views of the pond or relax by the fire pit. It all awaits you on your relaxing get away!
There are two large bedrooms, a king and a queen. The great room has plenty of room to relax. There is also a work out facility with a tread mill, TRX, weights and a trainer for your bike. The stocked kitchenette has granite counters, a Keurig, hot plate, microwave and toaster oven. A private entrance gets you all the benefits of a whole house rental with the high touch customer service of a B&B. It's a perfect get away for couples or families ready to get away and unwind!
We are located in the town of La Grange, just 10 miles from UW Whitewater, 10 miles from Alpine Valley, 20 miles away from Lake Geneva and under an hour drive to both Madison and Milwaukee.
Local attractions in addition to Nordic, John Muir and Emma Carlin include Scuppernong, Lapham Peak and Old World Wisconsin. We also have a number of local experiences we can hook you up with including cooking classes, state park tours, pottery glazing classes and candle making. Please take note that we are in the Kettle Moraine and during the winter months a 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicle is required.
Free Wifi, a bottle of wine and lots of great memories await you in this great escape!

We were greeted by the owner and was given a tour of the property (beautiful). The accommodation's were clean and beds were very comfortable. They had bread and danish on the counter, eggs and a couple beers in the fridge. Would recommend this to anyone!
This getaway to the Nordic Den far exceeded our expectations. We savored every moment. A lovely house situated in beautiful surroundings, and with a number of wonderfully cared-for animals who want for nothing. The love of and respect for nature and its creatures are so very apparent. Thank you, Jarvis and Chris, for making possible such an amazing fall weekend. What a special place. We will be returning!
My husband and I and one other couple were in the area for a wedding this weekend and wanted to stay somewhere relaxing that wasn't a hotel. We are all homesteaders at heart, just haven't found the right piece of land yet, so it was absolutely wonderful to get to meet and play with all of the goats, chickens, ducks, alpacas, and of course the very sweet donkey, mule, and pony. The property is stunningly beautiful and Chris and Jarvis were so welcoming. We were given eggs from the chickens, bacon, pastries, bread, and a bottle of wine and told that if we needed anything else, including more eggs, just ask. Everything was very clean and there was plenty of towels and bedding. The back porch and pool area were lovely. Chris recommended a local supper club for Friday fish fry, The Nitingale, which was delicious. Our only regret was that we were only there for the weekend and had to spend most of Saturday at the wedding! We will definitely be back. :)
What a weekend! Myself and my children just experienced the most relaxing weekend at The Den! Such a clean and beautifully maintained property with the most welcoming and accommodating hosts! My kids got to pick fresh chicken eggs, and a quail egg- then got to cook them right up fresh! We will definitely be returning!
The high quality reviews are well-deserved! The abundance of natural beauty, access to animals and attention to details is an experience our family will never forget. Many thanks to the gentlemen running this place….exceeded our expectations!
We had a wonderful 2 weeks at the Den! It’s always hard to leave.
The Den is a magical place! We were already booked for a return visit, and were so pleased when we were able to come 2 days early.
We had a wonderful time and loved meeting all the animals!
Perfect location for outdoor adventures. Super clean and beautifully decorated. The animals on the hobby farm make it the most interesting Vrbo we’ve stayed at!
Great property to stay at! Jarvis greeted us when we arrived. Showed us around. He’s very personable. Answered all our questions. Very quiet peaceful area. My adult children loved the different animals that were here. Very calm and taken care of. We loved all the extras( snacks, wine, bacon and eggs from their chickens). Hoping to come back another time.
We absolutely loved staying at this place and can’t wait to come back. Jarvis and Chris were incredible - super friendly, gave us great recommendations of things to check out, and had everything we needed + more. The property is stunning. Gorgeous woods surround it and they have beautiful perennial gardens all around. We adored the animals too - dogs, goats, alpacas, and more. Make sure to give Austin the goat some extra pets when you visit. The area is awesome. Lots of things to do from hiking trails in the backyard to kayaking to brewery visits. We were there to see shows at Alpine Valley and it was a quick easy drive to and from the venue. Can’t recommend this place enough. We hope to be back soon!!
I couldn't be more happy with this experience. There was enough activity locally to keep kids (7&8) engaged while accessing opportunities nearby. Chris and Jarvis were welcoming and responsive. The kids fed the goats and alpacas and collected fabulous eggs from the coop. We feel completely relaxed after a lovely long weekend.
We have stayed at numerous rental properties over the years and this home was above and beyond our expectations!! So much to enjoy and explore! From the collection of unique antiques inside the home to the beautiful landscaping and grounds outside, everything was top notch and perfect! We felt instantly welcome and had so much fun visiting all of the animals! They are all well cared for and truly living their best lives!! Jarvis & Chris, the owners, are so personable and their hospitality is superb! All of the extras (snacks, beverages, eggs, danishes, and bacon!) were more than we could have hoped for! We will definitely stay here again!
Wonderful stay. Had everything we needed. Fun place would go back.
What an amazing place to stay! Stop by and see the animals with your coffee in the AM. The hosts were so helpful and responsive, we couldn’t ask for more! Check out Edge of Town diner for a spot on breakfast too!
Jarvis was a wonderful host on an even more wonderful property. Nestled in a quiet wooded area, this property was one of the cleanest and relaxing properties we have stayed. The space was clean and very quiet, even with provided snacks! We had everything we needed for a quiet weekend getaway. Plus there are many fun animals on property and unique amenities (Firepit, grill and pool) to enjoy. We will be recommending this property to any friends and family travelling to the area and will be staying again when we return! If I could give 6 stars, I would!! You will not be disappointed here.
We just can’t say enough about our stay at the Den! The pictures and descriptions really don’t come close to the amazing reality of the accommodations and surroundings. The hosts are welcoming and generous. We enjoyed all the animals, the gardens, and all the whimsical objects and surprises we found around every corner. We hope to be regular visitors!
