Place of Peace - the Artist's Refuge

Come get away from it all at this peaceful retreat. 5 minutes from the Kickapoo reserve and Bare beach, 9 mins from the town of La Farge and 30 mins from Viroqua, this tranquil place is within reach of all the beauty the Driftless has to offer.

Incredible fishing, kayaking, canoeing and hiking all outside your door!

Lovingly built by an artist, you will find unique little touches throughout the house and in the gardens. Enjoy a soak in the queens bathtub or watch the epic sunsets on the hand-laid patio.

Have your morning coffee on the deck or star gaze around the fire at night. On summer nights, watch the firefly show as thousands dance through the quiet meadow. In the fall, watch herds of deer stroll right through the property.

Not what we expected — disappointing stay. This property was a letdown. The home was infested with ladybugs and their nests, and dust covered nearly every surface. Bedsheets had suspicious red stains, and the children's beds were oddly placed inside a wardrobe — right next to more ladybug nests. They were frightened. Caterpillars on carpets too.While the location and outdoor space are lovely, the indoor conditions were shocking. To make matters worse, you're monitored by a camera with a microphone every time you enter. Be mindful of your privacy.

We had a great time at the Refuge! Everything was seamless and the attention to the delightful details make the house and grounds so sweet. Great fireplaces in and out, as well as tub, loft, hosts and area. We were able to canoe, and walk many beautiful trails, as well as take in local cafes and music. We’ll be back-thank you!

The property is beautiful and had everything we needed. Located in the heart of the Kickapoo Valley on a hillside, the panorama of views from every window and the numerous outside seating areas was breathtaking. My wife loved the large soaking tub and I loved the proximity of fantastic trout fishing. The house was impeccably clean and the outside was beautifully maintained.

We had a lovely, peaceful stay here. The house is clean, uncluttered, and open-feeling, and the view outside is beautiful. There were small luxurious touches throughout that made this place feel loved. The location was perfect for river trips on the Kickapoo.

Nice Stay

Artist Retreat was as listed. Beautiful location, well stocked with everything needed. Fall colors were great. We were too late in the year for the flowers and plantings but it would be beautiful in Spring and Summer. Recommend for Seniors: nice access to the upstairs bedroom. Easy staircase up with easy access to deck. We enjoyed our stay!

Perfect setting

Staying at this lovely home helped make a wonderful weekend experience in the Driftless. The home was well decorated and offered tranquility and comforting energy. The beautiful wildflowers and property were a perfect place to catch our breath. We will definitely be back.
