Welcome to the Haven, where you can bask in the beauty of the Kickapoo River region! Breathe in the serenity of a peaceful home tucked in the heart of driftless Wisconsin. Lounge in the multiple-windowed living room and enjoy a gorgeous setting overlooking the rolling countryside; wake up to a scene of fawns enjoying backyard foliage; or gather around an evening campfire, gazing at the millions of starry lights overhead.
Relax. Retreat. Refresh. The beautiful driftless area of Wisconsin with its steep hills and valleys and winding roads boasts the perfect setting for a relaxing family vacation. The numerous trout streams beckon the fishermen, with one trout stream just walking distance from the rental. Just one-half mile down the road a canoe launch welcomes visitors to explore the nostalgic Kickapoo River or just drift aimlessly down, enjoying the lush beauty and abundant wildlife - from the great horned owl, to the fawn nestling with its mother. Enjoy a drive through the scenic Amish countryside (just 10 minutes away!) and enjoy the farms and shops along the way, including the infamous Amish Wal-mart (Trails End), Scenic Foods Bulk Foods, and Miller’s Bent-‘n-Dent; or take a day trip to Wisconsin Dells (1 hr/20 min) or the Mississippi River, about one hour from the rental.
This two-floor home features a total of six bedrooms with five queen beds and one set of twin beds and is an ideal short-term rental for a whole family, a family and extended relatives, or just one couple who would enjoy a luxurious, quiet experience on a roomy two acres. A master suite complete with a private bathroom (single whirlpool tub) and full kitchenette is included, and Amish hand-crafted oak flooring and trim boast their excellent workmanship.
The Haven boasts a unique experience to rest and relax away from the normal busyness of life, including gorgeous views of the driftless countryside, regularly visiting wildlife, a large yard for outdoor family games, and a fire-ring for evening fellowship. Sit on either of two outdoor swings and take in the quiet serenity of the countryside. Enjoy a family dinner or evening board games under a fully lit picnic canopy.
The property is continually being updated, with a spacious lounge area/recreational/meeting room coming this winter.
