About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Nature Lover's Pardise In The Driftless Area Of Southern Wisconsin, USA.

We are located on a hidden bluff at the end of a dead end road in the driftless area of Southern Wisconsin near the popular tourist destination of New Glarus, America's Little Switzerland in Green County Wisconsin.

The property is nestled in a stand of mature oak trees with rock cliffs, deer & turkeys grazing in the yard. It is a nature lovers dream!

The 2600 square foot 3.5 bath log home sits on 40 acres. The home features four spacious bedrooms with plush beds, a large surround deck in the tree tops, high speed internet & access to private walking trails that wind through the woods complete with limestone cliffs and pollinator prairies. The interior of the home is lined with pine boards that give off a pleasant aroma and add to the character adding to the cabin feel but the home is well appointed and has all the features you will likely need.

We are close to many communities like New Glarus, Dodgeville, Mineral Point, Mt Horeb where local festivals take place weekly throughout the spring, summer and fall. Take in a brewery tour or sample some fresh cheese at one of the many local cheese factories. Be sure to ask for fresh curds!

There is easy access to Yellowstone Lake State Park and Wildlife Areas with a host of other possible recreational activities including hiking, cycling, fishing, canoeing, boating. There is even hunting, in season and recreational shooting at a well maintained no cost range at Yellowstone Lake Wildlife Area.

25th Wedding anniversary weekend away
Our stay was in celebration of my son and his wife's 25th wedding anniversary. Their 21-yr old son and my daughter was also part of our group of five. We were each able to have our own bedroom along w plenty of bathrooms. Good quality mattresses made for a very good night's sleep. It's a beautiful ride there from Waukesha and the setting was beautiful and peaceful. Plenty of room to spread out. We loved playing games up in the loft area where there is a game table. The kitchen is very well equipped with quality appliances. Can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer to enjoy the very large deck. Saturday night we enjoyed a taste testing and meal at Whiskey Run in New Glarus which is only 20 minutes away. Our host, Steve, was very hospitable, and great to work with. He and his wife live just up the road, so we felt confident if there were any problems he'd be readily available to assist us. We all agreed it was a fantastic weekend and we'd be back.

Great Winter Getaway
Our group had a wonderful stay. Your lodge was clean and you made our stay very enjoyable. Loved to be able to take a hike around your property and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We even saw some deer the one night right out our window. We would absolutely recommend your lodge to anyone and would most definitely come back for another visit.

Wonderful and magical
If you truly want a fun place away from it all with hiking trails right on the property this place has it all! Property owner Steve is amazing and gives you a thorough run down of everything there is to do around there. The house is very clean and well kept, I especially loved the quilts, as personally I think quilts are the best blanket to sleep under. My favorite part was that my fury friends even my horse would be welcome to stay, as they have a large grass filled paddock. Personally if I brought my horse I would recommend bringing electric fencing.

Hidden Bluff Lodge
We chose to stay at place in the driftless area because of its beauty. The lodge was spectacular. Spacious, cozy, gorgeous, and just what we all needed. The owner was respectful of our space and even gave us a tour upon arrival! Well worth the price!!

Exactly what my book club was looking for for a reading retreat! Beautiful, cozy, easy to find but still feels like an escape. We've already discussed how we want to see the views in different seasons!

My family and I loved the stay. Truly it was so cozy and felt like home. The area is beautiful. Hills everywhere. Sunrise and set are breathtaking. I had no problems staying at this home. Steve was very easy to communicate with. I can’t wait to rebook this home.

Family Christmas
This was a perfect place to have a family Christmas celebration. Plenty of room (and bathrooms too!) Warm, cozy, comfortable and quiet. Steve thought of everything- including birthday candles, a crockpot and cooking spray. The kitchen/dining room was perfect for game playing. The living area even had a Christmas tree and fireplace. I highly recommend this beautiful cabin in the woods.

Wonderful wooded location --peaceful
We had a wonderful time at this lovely secluded cabin - getting aways from the hustle and bustle for a few days. Very relaxing and nicely appointed cabin - it had everything we needed More than enough space. (and Steve was very kind to have info about the area and local food recommendations). It is 20ish minutes from New Glarus, Mineral Point and Yellowstone Lake Park. The property has great paths for dog walking. It was great hanging out on the deck looking out at woods, wildlife, and the stars at night. Definitely recommend.
