The Arcadian Cabin at Bishop Branch Creek
Constructed in the summer of 2017, Arcadian Cabin’s location in the Driftless Area of Southwestern Wisconsin manifests a true park-like atmosphere. Both Crystal Creek and Bishop Branch Creek, are located steps off of the covered deck. The property (3+ acres) boasts a yard perfect for campfires (firewood provided), stargazing, lawn games, or just lounging and relaxing. Additionally, 58 acres of public land adjacent to the property is available for hiking, fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, bird watching, and other outdoor activities - no need to drive, these activities are all accessible on-site as soon as you walk out the front door.
At the end of the day, the 16’x28’ cabin which boasts an 18-foot tall ceiling in the main room will welcome you and up to five additional guests (sleeps six). The two bedrooms, bathroom, full kitchen, electric heat, bathtub and shower, electric appliances, Satellite TV, WiFi, a storage shed for your use, and many other features will make your stay enjoyable and stress-free.
The location of The Arcadian is ideal for any traveler’s needs. Viroqua, the county seat of Vernon County, is less than 5 miles away and has numerous shops, festivals, a challenging golf course, and high-quality restaurants available. In addition to the public land out the front door, the Kickapoo Valley Reserve is less than 10 minutes away - providing canoeing, hiking, hunting, fishing, and numerous other outdoor activities and well over 8,000 acres to roam.
We added a storage shed to the property where you can lock up some of your gear and dry out your waders. There are also yards games, the charcoal grill, a gas grill, and other items in the storage shed for your use.
Award-winning restaurants, Wonderstate Coffee, several wineries (Vernon Vineyards, Branches Winery), movie theater, seasonal farmer's market, minutes from Organic Valley and Go Macro headquarters, antique and specialty shops, and The Historic Temple Theatre are just a few of the local attractions just minutes from The Arcadian. The Mississippi River is 30 minutes away and larger towns like La Crosse and Madison are both easily accessible by State Highway 14.

We loved the cabin! It was so relaxing to sit on the porch and enjoy the view. Jake and Becky made the stay very welcoming and responded to any questions that we had about the house. The location was perfect, being less than 10 minutes from shops and restaurants in Viroqua. Would definitely stay again!
We loved our stay at the Acadian Cabin. The setting is serene and tranquil. The cabin is inviting, comfortable and cozy. The porch is in added bonus and we spent much time in the chairs enjoying the view. The creek was delightful. The cabin had everything we needed. We'd highly recommend this property.
This was my third stay at the Arcadian Cabin. Another relaxing and peaceful one in the middle of winter. Both the hosts and cabin itself keep me coming back. Jake and Becky are excellent hosts. Communication from the listing through the stay and even after has always been excellent. I've had no issues receiving prompt and knowledgeable responses to any questions or concerns during my stays. The Arcadian fulfills all of my needs for a vacation rental from necessary amenities to a peaceful, bucolic setting perfect for either relaxation or outdoor activities. Having stayed multiple times at the Arcadian, I am impressed with the upkeep at the cabin. There doesn't appear to be any wear and tear after several years of staying here, only additions such as the new handrail outside, Adirondacks for the firepit and Keurig.I highly recommend the Arcadian for a stay in the Driftless. Excellent location in a bucolic setting in a valley along the Bishop's Branch. Viroqua is an easy 5 miles for any necessities, entertainment or dining.
Absolutely lovely cabin with the gorgeous views and lots of privacy. It was delightful to sip warm morning coffee on the porch and watch the fog move through the valley. We really enjoyed the large yard during the day and the bonfire pit at night. It was quite a treat to listen to the owls while star gazing. Jake and Becky were truly wonderful, gracious hosts. Thanks again for everything you did to make my family feel comfortable and at home. We will be back!
Beautiful cabin, location and stay at the Arcadian in the wonderful Driftless region! Enjoyed the quiet valley and nearby creek while having coffee and reading on the porch! Cabin was very clean and had all we needed for a relaxing stay! So many great things to do in the surrounding area, visting the Kickapoo Valley Reserve to hike and bike, Viroqua, wineries, and kayking on the Kickapoo River! Thanks for a great stay!
This was a beautiful cabin and a great location for fishing the Driftless. Cabin was spotless and comfortable. We’ve stayed in many different VRBOs the last 4 years in and around Viroqua and the Arcadian was by far our favorite.
The cabin was exactly as described, with photos that reflect the space. The property itself was beautiful and well cared for. Jake and Becky were very nice and responsive, though we didn’t have any issues during our stay. We enjoyed fishing, relaxing by the fire, making s’mores, exploring the grounds, making art, and browsing nearby shops. It was a great weekend!
Jake and Becky are great hosts and their cabin is one of the cleanest we've ever stayed in! We enjoyed ever minute and we highly recommend staying at the Arcadian!
We had a great time staying here for a spring fishing trip. The cabin is nice, clean, private and located in a great spot. If you're fishing, they even have a nice shed to store your stuff along with boot hangers. We had a nice time sitting on the porch after some long days as well as sitting by a fire one night. They even had all the firewood ready for us next to the firepit. We would certainly stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place.
This cabin is simply awesome! We were in town for our niece’s wedding at Chapters On The Horizon (another amazing place). It was so beautiful & peaceful to come back to this gem! The owners have done an incredible job. Truly loved our stay!!
We loved our stay at The Arcadian. Perfect for nature lovers looking for outdoor activities, and also perfect for people who want to visit town nearby—at just 8 minutes away, it’s the best of both worlds. Jake and Becky were very courteous and communicative hosts as well. Highly recommend this experience.
It was great! Felt right at home. Was just as promised. Clean, felt good inside. Yard was great. Lots and lots of birds. So close to a great stream. Can't wait to stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our family getaway at the Arcadian.
The cabin was clean and cozy. The property is so serene with the stream and surrounding trees. Nighttime fires and stargazing were amazing. Would definitely recommend a stay and we hope to return someday.
We had a wedding in the area and decided to book this cabin instead of a hotel and turned out to be the best decision! The cabin was clean and the lot was beautiful! We didn’t have much time to hang around, but I’d love to go back someday!
Beautiful place, quiet, lovely cabin and convenient amenities. Close enough to Viroqua to enjoy some good food and shops but quiet and remote enough for lots of bird action too! Perfect for a getaway weekend.
