Behr-Denn Cabin

Solitude and discovery are still found in the Driftless Area. Fishing on weekdays helps with the solitude part. I’m happy to suggest streams, more to match a guests mobility and skill. All the streams in the area are beautiful and have trout.

Our cabin neighbor’s 27 acres and cottage is for sale in southwest Wisconsin. If you’re looking for seclusion deep in the woods, this fits. The 300 yard long, rough gravel driveway, through the woods and over a gully that flash floods and can wash out is the issue of concern.

Bought from the same owner we bought our cabin from, it has an interesting history, happy to tell all I know.
Could Airbnb it, the ratio of a lot of land to small house wouldn’t make for a great return but would support the cost of improvements and maintenance.

This 1000 square feet Single Family home has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. It is located at S7649 Riley Road, Readstown, WI.

Fall trips start to book soon, late September to early November is beautiful plus it’s 🍎 🍏 🍎 season! There are 2 weekends available in August still.

Beautiful evening on Reads Creek tonight, tough fishing but managed a few. Last night, I drove through the Kickapoo Valley and saw a hundred deer or more. Herds were out in the fields, at least 6 bucks that were 10 pointers.

Spent a few hours on the tractor to fix the driveway. The power of water to change the land within a few days is crazy. Our valley is 1-2 ft deeper within a month. Lots of cool rocks exposed in the stream that guests are welcome to take home. The stream found a new channel going into the neighbor’s property, which is actually great because it was getting close to eroding their small pond that’s on the property line.

I fell in love with the Driftless Area as a kid when camping in Bluffton, IA. Got hooked on trout fishing on these those trips. Check the link for geological info on the area.

Huge thanks to Chloe, our amazing caretaker. We had a huge tree fall in the most inconvenient spot possible. She recruited a friend to help cut and clear it asap. Luckily, guests weren’t trapped by it, they did have the inconvenience of walking in upon arrival but was it quickly removed and they still gave a 5-star rating.

The cause was a huge carpenter ant nest. Tree was hollow from ground to about 25’ high and broke off right at the base of the trunk.
