The Depot was very nice and was in a good location to jump off from. We made it to APT, a couple state parks, the Mississippi River for a picnic lunch, and pizza on the farm at Sitting Pretty farm. All were a reasonable distance from the depot.

Fantastic home. Stayed for 3 nights as a little weekend getaway. Close to Taliesin and House on the Rock, which we toured both, ate at Anita’s cafe and Arthur’s Supper Club in Spring Green just 15 minutes away. The Depot offered a quiet retreat to get some peace. Thanks for the hospitality.

Beautiful transformation

We stayed here for two nights in May. This cottage is just stunning. The renovation is modern, yet you get the historical feel it had. The train motif is scattered around in all the rooms. Such a comfy place!There's a rails to trails bike trail right outside the front door. The Bat Cave (bar) is right around the corner from the cottage. The owners and clientele were so fun and friendly. And the countryside with its hills, valleys, farmland, and bluffs makes for a wonderful drive. The Wisconsin River is about a mile away. Communication with the owners was very easy and prompt. We loved staying here and would definitely stay again and recommend. Thank you Ross and Theresa for sharing this quaint and cute cottage with us!Jim and Luanne

Fall odyssey

We spent a week at the Depot while touring Wisconsin chasing the fall colours. We loved the decor of the cottage, the beds were comfortable & we enjoyed the country vibes. As the Depot is in quite an isolated position you need to consider bringing basic supplies with you. E.g milk etc. we only found out about the lack of onsite shopping when we arrived late at night. We found out where a supermarket was, once we arrived & read the information sheet. Richlands Center was a valuable resource for diner breakfast & Walmart!

Unique and beautiful home. This is a train buff’s dream with antique train artifacts and historic photos of the property throughout the house. The modern furniture was comfortable and inviting. We felt right at home and had a great couple of nights sleep. Highly recommend this home for overnight accommodations.
