Quiet private cabin a great place to get away from it all. Located in the Driftless hills of Readstown, Wi. Surrounded by woods & Hay Field. AWD car is recommended for our Hill Road leading to our PRIVATE cabin. Complete with a compost toilet & electric. Water to enjoy a Shower powered by an Electric Water Heater. Our cabin has an outdoor sink, as seen in pictures. NO drinking water Provided. Our water is not Potable. Please bring your drinking water. DVD player only This is definitely more like “Glamping” than “Camping”! So much to do surrounding the cabin. Head over to Crazy Franks Flea market or take a short 10 minute drive to a bigger city Viroqua and enjoy their farmers market & cute boutiques. Near fly fishing, reeds creek & the Kickapoo. Bike the Kickapoo Valley Reserve one of our favorite activities! Lots of activities to do in the Driftless and just a short drive from the cabin. Hike the the Kickapoo valley Reserve, take a drive over to Wildcat State Park, check out the Winery’s, brewery, Amish stores & Sunrise Apple Orchard near by or simply take in the sounds of nature surrounding you. Bring your yard games & roasting sticks.

Weekend Trip to Peaceful Cabin

Great host, very responsive and was willing to deliver some extra fire wood and things during our stay. The cabin was in great condition and the perfect amount of comfort while still feeling remote and in the woods.

2 nights at Peaceful Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at Peaceful Cabin. The area was beautiful and it was easy to find. The road up to the cabin was doable with AWD. Sarah and her husband were very responsive and helpful during our stay. The cabin is very nice, cozy, and quiet. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a window AC unit as it in the 90s when we arrived and my dog was able to cool off.
