Driftless Getaway
The Upper Place Cottage was a wonderful weekend escape. Our pups loved running the trails, and the leaves were at their peak for the season! The house was clean and had everything we needed for a long weekend. The staircase is a bit harrowing, but you get used to it. We would love to come back - especially in the winter to snowshoe or ski the trails.

Perfect place for a weekend family getaway.
This place was very clean. And was well appointed. They had everything we needed, and we were 15 min from everything we wanted to do. There are some beautiful trout waters in that area! Thanks !

Great Place to Relax and Connect With Nature
My husband, my mom, my dog and I had a great a great weekend staying here. The property is beautiful. It was wonderful to have that many different trails around the property. The cabin is comfortable and is well equipped. The host James provided us with clear instructions about the checking. Thank you!

Very scenic, cute cottage. Be aware, no cell service. Had no hot water for our stay. Staircase may not be suitable for older adults. Extremely well equipped. Worth the stay even with the negatives.

Wonderful and Peaceful
Perfect get away and place to relax and unwind. Loved hiking and sitting on the deck listening to the birds and staring up at the hills. Just what we needed.

Upper Place
This place was a needed step back from everyday life. Me, my husband and our two dogs had a wonderful and relaxing time, between looking out the big widows to hiking the many trails, it was perfect. There is nothing like throwing on VCRs & sipping coffee with fresh air surrounded by nature. Book it, you won't regret it.

Great location and home
We loved that there was no internet or phone service. The owners have put a lot of TLC into the home and it’s shows. A few things to plan for - the water pressure in the shower isn’t great but there is plenty of hot water. No washer/dryer. We didn’t feel we needed those things.

Cabin, Trails, and More
We had a wonderful time. My wife and I were looking for some peaceful R&R and this was more than we could have hoped. We hiked every day, spent lots of time on the deck, sat by the fire pit, and generally enjoyed all of the beauty of this location. And the "wall of windows" makes you feel like you are outdoors even when you are inside the cozy and very unique cabin. We only left the property a couple of times over the entire 10 days because everything we needed and were looking for was right here.
