Area trout streams and the town of Viroqua where great places to explore. I've never been to Vernon County but now it's my new favorite place. I will be back and staying at the Vireo Cabin. Highly recommend." - "Looking for a peaceful place to rest, retreat, recuperate, relax, reconnect , and rejuvenate this is it.

" - "This is a comfortable loft apt with peace & quiet. Great views of farms and fields from west facing deck. Out of the way location with little traffic. Good star gazing on a clear night. Loft is located behind owner's (I think) home. That's fine because they are quiet too. "

Fire pit would be great and wood was provided (although we didn’t have time this trip) and great view of morning and able to see all the stars at night." - "I alway seek out unique experiences when I stay somewhere. Staying in a renovated container is not something I have done before and I have to say, it was awesome! It was very simple. A bunk bed set up, pieces of a kitchen, a shower/toilet, an outdoor grill, and a fire pit. The heat worked great. The view of the stars after the clouds past was amazing. I highly recommend this place. There is no wifi or tv…but do we really need that? Thanks to Ryan for a great stay."

Other things to note
Covid-19 Note: Due to the pandemic, we are taking extra precautions to ensure our cabins are 100% clean for our guests. In addition to sanitizing all surfaces and items in the cabins, as well as bedding, we are taking the extra step of blocking a minimum of 3 days in between each guest's stay, as the virus does not survive on most surfaces beyond that length of time. Due to these extra steps, our cleaning fees per stay are currently double what they would normally be, and our required length of stay has been increased to 3 nights. These rates and requirements will go down when the pandemic concludes.
