The driftless area of western Wisconsin is a place for those who truly want to relax and get away from it all. Spared by the impact of ancient glaciers, the land is rugged and beautiful. Apple growers have found success cultivating in these wild hills and in the heart of one orchard, a unique cabin welcomes guests. A rustic cabin tucked into an apple orchard is just the escape you need for a comfy weekend getaway in Wisconsin. Come along as we show you why:
This rustic cabin is an ideal spot to enjoy the great outdoors.
It’s located near Wildcat Mountain State Park, a lush 3,600-acre park that’s home to towering sandstone bluffs. If that’s not enough nature for you, also nearby there’s the Kickapoo Valley Reserve, an 8,600-acre area of public land that flanks the Kickapoo River.

But you don’t have to head to these parks to enjoy the outdoors.
There is a charming rustic cabin on a working farm called Echo Valley Farm which specializes in teas, herbs, and, like many Wisconsin farmer's markets, heirloom apples.
If you’re looking for a stay that reminds you of a chain hotel, look elsewhere.
The cabin is cozy and comfortable, and there is WiFi available - three miles away, in town. You also won’t find air conditioning or a TV to watch your favorite television shows in this rental, and cell coverage is limited.
This is the perfect place to unwind, relax with a book and a cup of tea, and enjoy Wisconsin in the fall. There’s electricity for your reading light, and there’s an efficient compostable toilet.

The rental is a small studio, so it’s not a place for a large group.
Would you agree that it is one of the best cabins in Wisconsin? Where do you like to experience Wisconsin in the fall? We'd love to read about your experience in the comments section below!
You won’t regret booking a stay at the cabin and you’ll also be relaxing near one of America’s best-kept secrets! If you’d like to explore hikes around the area, you can find some great trails by going to the AllTrails website.
