The ideal retreat - nestled in the heart of the driftless region. This area is composed of a distinctive terrain, having been bypassed by the last continental glacier, it provides a hilly paradise with fog filled valleys. Situated right off the banks of Timber Coulee Creek, stated as perhaps one of the most popular and prolific waters in the driftless region, this tastefully appointed cottage beckons its visitors to partake in the peaceful silence. The driftless area moves at its own pace, defined by Amish buggies and narrow winding roads, organic farms and silent sports such as fly fishing, biking and canoeing. The location encourages guests to experience local wineries, breweries, farm to table restaurants , cheese shops, coffee roasters, and farmerâs markets, while providing a secluded escape to enjoy nature, hobbies, and unwind.
This cottage is a dream! The location, the decor, the amenities, everything! 10 out of 10. We had the best time enjoying the screened in porch, the creek, cooking in the beautiful kitchen, and playing board games that were provided. We will absolutely return to this magical retreat!!
I loved this place. it was the perfect stay for a much needed getaway. The house was amazing with plenty of room and lots amenities. The location was the perfect combination of being somewhat isolated, but not too far from groceries and such. The house was very clean with lots of amenities, so I didn't really need to ask for much. But, when I need have a question, Ted and Kimberly responded immediately and were very helpful. I really can't say enough about how much I enjoyed by 9 days at the Timber Coulee Cabin. The surrounding area was pleasant, and I was fortunate to have very good weather, which made having the screened porch such a joy. The house was clean and I had everything I needed. This is my first trip to the Driftless area and I can't imagine a better place to stay. I want to emphasize how great the hosts were. Ted was so great with fishing tips and other had some great suggestions on other things I should do or try. Kimberly was super responsive as well and made sure that my trip went well. I thought it was great that she checked in with me before doing some work around the house. I don't think there are enough stars to rate them. I well definitely be coming back!! Thank you!!!
My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The cottage is beautiful inside and out. We especially enjoyed sitting in the screened porch. We ventured into LaCrosse, Winona, and Viroqua and found a lot of great used bookstores.
We had a wonderful time at this cottage. Its location is a perfect spot for a fishing trip as it is close to many creeks/coulees. The cottage is also very thoughtfully laid out for fly fishermen. It is very well appointed and we enjoyed the scenery and screened in porch to relax between fishing adventures. Will hopefully be back sometime!
A snug cabin on a trout stream nestled in a Wisconsin coulee.
I sat on the bench at streamside just before dawn taking in the cold clean air.
Between the great horned owl hooting goodnight and the.pair of eagles greeting the dawn.....lifetime memory for sure.
For the end of Trout Season, Oct. 15th each year, a group of us try to meet out in the Driftless - our 8th year doing so. With such unpredictable weather, I've started renting places to be out of weather, be comfortable, and get a good night's sleep, with an easy shower and coffee in the morning. In addition, I've been so enamored with the Drifltess - Viroqua area it has become a goal to bring my spouse out during the trout season to experience it. The lovely cottage on the Timber Coulee was exceptional. Perfectly appointed, and cottage stylized, that it's hard to fathom anyone not feeling comfortable there. It would be a lovely future place for a couples getaway, where one partner could literally walk out the door and fish for a couple of hours, while the other enjoys coffee and a good book on the lovely screened porch.
Perfect little oasis in the Coulee Region! Tasteful decor and well appointed kitchen for cooking and enjoying the view of the trout creek and cow farm. Our teen girls loved the aesthetic - many pictures were taken during golden hour in the hammock and by the stream. Cottage was better than the pictures - property is stunning and was a true getaway.
I think the other reviews cover the main high points, so I will add in a few that haven't been mentioned: The water pressure is great, even upstairs, and the water from the tap tastes wonderful - this is sometimes a concern in more remote homes, but not at all a concern here!
I absolutely loved the perennials in the landscaping - stunning! Especially the little patch of wildflowers that was in constant bloom.
Finally, though I didn't see any rare birds while we were there, we had a lovely selection in the yard on a daily basis. My favorites were the Cliff Swallows that live under the road over the stream; their acrobatics were so much fun to watch!
What a lovely place, thank you for letting us stay there!
This is our second stay at this property. It was exactly as I remembered it. The property is impeccably maintained and clean. The owners have thought of everything! Beautiful property.
This property definitely has an upscale feel to it. It's an ideal setup if someone doesn't want to spend every waking minute fishing because it has a terrific kitchen, comfortable living room, and an outstanding screened in porch. The hosts really thought out the details and we didn't lack for anything. I'd like to visit in the fall when shorter days would force us to take more advantage of the comfort of the cottage!
Our recent stay at the cozy cottage by Timber Coulee Creek was a delightful experience. Nestled in a unique, glacier-free terrain, this cottage provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and enjoying nature. The area's slow pace and natural beauty, along with local Amish buggies and winding roads, added to the charm.
The cottage was well-equipped with everything needed for comfort, including a full kitchen, washer, dryer, and free WiFi. The outdoor space was ideal for unwinding in the evenings. Property managers, Ted and Kimberly Wichelt, were exceptionally welcoming and attentive, ensuring our stay was excellent.
I highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking to explore the driftless region or seeking a tranquil retreat.
Beautiful cottage stream side! Couldnât have asked for a better spot as a fly fisher. Looking out over the stream and pastoral views were especially relaxing and peaceful. The design of the cottage and the comfort level was more than 5 star. So comfortable. Everything was well thought out and made our stay so enjoyable. The weather was not cooperating but we did not care because we were in the cozy cottage!! Thank you. We will be back.
What a magical trip to the Driftless region of Wisconsin! This cottage is a true gem. So beautifully designed and decorated with cozy touches throughout. We loved our stay and will definitely return again!
This is our first time staying at this property since it was renovated. It is beautiful. We really enjoyed our visit. Caught some trout in the Timber Coulee also.
