Weekend Trip to Finally A Farm

Gary was an exceptional host and very generous We arrived late and Gary was communicative over the app and set us a fire before we even stepped foot on the property. The property was beautiful even in late fall with lots of animals and trees. Highly recommend going!!

Weekend Trip to Echo Valley Farm

We had a great time in the Straw Clay Cabin! It was clean, cozy and comfortable. We really enjoyed this unique cabin, including the woodland animals that are built in to the walls, and also having some information available in the cabin about how it was constructed. We also enjoyed hiking around property and seeing the chickens and sheep wandering around! Overall a great stay, we'd be happy to come back.

Weekend Trip to Echo Valley Farm

Echo Valley Farm is absolutely beautiful, and Maggie's Cabin was just right for what we were looking for! Dena was wonderful - kind and helpful and willing to accommodate a scheduling mistake on my part. The cabin itself was cozy and warm, and the farm was beautiful - rolling hills, grazing sheep, and forests in the distance. Echo Valley Farm is just right for a trip to get away from the demands of daily life and slow down a bit!

Weekend Trip to Captain Morgan's Pirate Ship

Yeng was great- solid communication before and after our stay. While the weather was rought, our family enjoyed the novelty of glamping on the 'ship'. Our accomodations were warm and cozy despite night temps in the 30's, and we loved playing cards and hanging out in the small galley. It was also a plus to have the Dells nearby for activites during a rainy day.

We loved tent camping here for our two night stay! The site was beautiful, especially in mid October.

Overview

About

In the summer months, you can rent a boat, canoe, and kayak from the park's concession store. Mirror Lake offers two boat ramps, but you can't take motorized boats on the lake.

You can fish from your boat or along the creek banks that feed the lake. This park has a dock that you can toss a line into. Forgot your fishing gear? You can borrow some from the park's office.

Camp among the towering pines and old oak trees in one of the 151 family campsites. These sites are located in three campgrounds around the park. At each site, you find a fire ring and a picnic table for outside dining.

This Wisconsin state park has a cottage designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a famous architect. There is also a single cabin available for those who don't like roughing it. Firewood is available for sale at the ranger station.

Mirror Lake Campground

Great shower facilities and lovely private campsites. It rained a lot during our stay so we went rogue and hit up the best supper club in Wisconsin (Ishnala) for dinner because it happens to be adjacent to the park and on the same lake.
