Fantastic Property, Awesome Hosts, Close to Downtown Viroqua

The best Hideaway around!

This is our second visit to the Hidden Hideaway. We have relatives in Westby, so the location is absolutely perfect for our needs. The property is always spotlessly clean when we arrive, and the two small porches outside of each bedroom was a lovely addition! Another amenity that we loved was the Bluetooth speaker. The beautiful clear chilly nights were enhanced by the fire pit with firewood dry and ready to use! Communication with the hosts was always prompt and easy. We look forward to staying at the Hideaway again the next time we’re in the region!

Cozy Get-Away

We were so excited to experience a stay in a shipping container. We tend to look for nontraditional options when vacationing. We were delighted by the size, cleanliness, and location of this little gem. It is so comfortable and nicely decorated. We used it as a base while exploring the small communities in the area and fishing the Kickapoo River system. We enjoyed the restaurants, shops and wineries. We highly recommend this vacation home.

Fantastic!

This beautifully decorated, very comfortable, impeccably clean rental is set in a lovely, private spot. The hosts thought of everything. Wondering how you will open a bag of coffee, there are scissors right next to the coffee maker, prefer french press, there's on it the cabinet above. Worried what to do when the bag of granola you bought at the wonderful Meninite store in town breaks open, the are several sizes of ziploc bags to the rescue! Daughter gets a skinned knee chasing lightning bugs, of course there is a first aid kit. I could go on, but you get the picture! I loved sitting on the deck listening to the dawn chorus of birds! We were visiting family, and will this place will be on the top of our list for next summer!

We had a beautiful get-a-way, the house is AWESOME and we plan on staying again in the near future. Thank you for the extended stay, we were grateful that you could accommodate our very short notice to stay an additional day. We travel using VRBO a lot, this home surpassed them all. Thank you so very much! :)

Quiet, cute country stay

The house was so comfortable and cute! The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. It was great to be able to walk on the property and see the deer running through the fields. We loved the quiet country location but so nice to be so close to Viroqua, ( and the Driftless Cafe :).
