Location: Wisconsin < USA

A truly unique 3 season get-away! Located 9 miles southeast of Black River Falls WI, in the pine forests of southeastern Jackson County, we're just down the road from 1000s of acres of county forest land & right on both the ATV and snowmobile trail systems. The woods team with birds and wildlife, the air is clean, crisp and quiet, and there's very limited public access to the lovely trout stream below Creekside and its neat 'swimming hole' and sand beaches. Your peace and privacy is guaranteed. If you're in the mood for dining, shopping, antiquing, boating, hiking, biking or to go to a water park, golf course or casino, that's all just 15 minutes away in Black River Falls. Do as much as you want or as little as it takes to rest, relax and get rid of the stress you've been carrying around. Stop looking at your watch or waiting for the phone to ring. You might even read a book or two. Or do nothing at all. That's what a real vacation is all about at Creekside.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Black River Falls, Wisconsin

Pretend you're roughing it when you're not!: Guests who want relax 'outside' without ever worrying about bugs are going to love our unique 12 x 14 framed screen house. We built it close enough to the creek so you can watch the water flow by and listen to the 'water music' without even getting out of your chair. Read, play cards, get caught up on family news, bring down a picnic basket from the house, watch your spouse fly-fish the creek, or your kids play in the water. Work on crafts, or just sit down there and and do nothing. We provide the pillows, blankets, comforter and sheets for the full-size, very comfortable davenport sleeper. If you plan on sleeping in our screen house or in your own tent or camper in the early springtime, all food must be properly stored away so as not to attrack bears or other critters. Kids, dogs and smoking are all allowed inside the screen room - but guests are responsible for preventing (and repairing) any damage done to the furnishings, woodwork or screens, just as they do in the guesthouse

Enjoy the whole county or just veg out here: There are no other renters or rental units here, so there's none of the noise associated with water parks or large RV/camper sites where you're elbow-to-elbow with other vacationers. The owners do live just downstream from the guesthouse, but you'll never see them unless they're watering the gorgeous gardens surrounding Creekside or you need their help with something. Lakes, parks, trails, county and state forest land are either right down the road or within a 30 minute drive if you want to boat or fish the lakes, hike, bike or ride horseback. Easy driveway access to 235 miles of ATV/motorcycle trails and 100 miles for snowmobilers. Go scuba diving at Wazee Lake, try your luck at Majestic Pines Casino, golf at a great course right in Black River Falls or walk the 4 mile Heritage Trail around the city. You'll need to bring your cell phone (no land-lines here), bedroom linens, large beach towels and flashlights. Oh, yeah, groceries, too. That's it. Key in. Sigh. Relax. Enjoy

Mileage, kids & dogs : We're just two hours from Madison, 70 minutes from the Wisconsin Dells, 1 hour from La Crosse, or Eau Claire, about 3 hours from Wausau, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Rochester & Dubuque IA and four hours from the north Chicago suburbs. We're a proud member of the Black River Area Chamber of Commerce and are featured on their website. Do check the websites for Jackson County, the City of Black River Falls, the Black River Area Chamber of Commerce or the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for more area information.

Toddlers (and youngsters who require babysitters when you're out of the home) must be under adult supervision at all times in the house, on the property and in the water.

Dog(s) are always welcome if housebroken, kept off furniture, are current on shots and are kept under voice or leash control inside the buildings, on the grounds or in the water. Refundable $100 pet damage deposit required. Modest per-night (not per day) pet fees apply. Up to 3 dogs allowed, with no weight limit.

Golf:

The 18 hole Skyline Golf Course in Black River Falls is a golfer's dream course - laid out over acres of undulating and wooded hills. The back 9 is especially scenic and well-designed as it carves its way through a beautiful oak and pine forest.

Other Activities:

Drive onto a 100 mile ATV trail right from the house; bring your fly rod and fish our stream for wild brown trout, native brook and rainbow; take a short drive to canoe and kayak the Black River or fish the Black River, Lake Arbutus and flowages for muskie, walleye and smallmouth bass; hunt for whitetail deer, ruffed grouse, wild turkey, ducks and geese; ice skate year-round at the Black River Falls rink; enjoy prime scuba diving at Wazee Lake - Wisconsin's deepest lake; hike, bike or even bring your horses along and ride 20 miles of horseback riding trails at the 68,000 acre Black River State Forest; experience the beauty of Ho Chunk culture at their Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend pow-wows or try your luck at the Ho-Chunk Casino!

GREAT GETAWAY!!

Review Submitted: August 16, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
My co-workers and myself had a WONDERFUL weekend at this creekside getaway. There was 8 of us females who went there for our annual retreat and we could not be happier. The hospitality was unbelieveable and the house, the bird house (screened porch detached from the house close to the creek) and the creek were beautiful. We relaxed and and had fun. Make sure if you go that you travel down creek to the "pool" area. It is a little beach with a sandy bottom and perfect for jumping in a float, dropping anchor, and relaxing. It would also be a fun spot to go with your family but you would need to keep a close eye on children when near the creek due to its current. Lots of nature surrounding but not far from town if you have to run to get some groceries. Bill and Ruth were very pleasant to deal with and their dogs were friendly as could be. They supplied every little detail that a hotel would include and even more.

A Hidden Gem

Review Submitted: January 10, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2010
We were so pleased with our trip to Black River Falls and this home was a big part of the reason why. The location was perfect for our ATV riding and the creek that goes thru the backyard is both peaceful and fun for the kids. My advice is to bring a canoe or kayak with you! The wooded yard, beautiful patio and screened in porch gave us alot of places to hang out and enjoy the scenery. We will definitely go back!

Truly Wonderful...

Review Submitted: June 29, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
All I can say is that every family member left extremely pleased, even the dogs!! My kids enjoyed the stream, trails, and of course the screen house. Dad was very busy on the 4 wheeling trails and making fires while mom relaxed in the hammock every chance I had. Our dogs finally woke up two days after we got back home from our trip to Black River Falls. We are all looking forward to another family visit real soon! Highly recommended for anyone who wants complete peace along with a vacation you can share with your pets!!!

Owner's Response: It's wonderful families (and pets) like this who make operating our business a blessing, not a burden! They brought laughter and joy to our days, took wonderful care of the buildings and property and quickly became friends we always wanted to meet - and keep for years to come. Our thanks to them, and to countless others who've stayed at Creekside over the years, who've shared this little corner-of-heaven with us and made it their own, very special place to enjoy.

Creekside Escape

Review Submitted: June 14, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
We are so happy to be back for our FOURTH visit to Creekside, and the first time coming with all three of our kids and our wonderful dog Buddy. Everything about this place is perfect and it really does feel like a home away from home. We are looking forward to many, many return trips with our activities changing each year as our kids get older!

Thanks for everything as always Ruth & Bill, we highly recommend Creekside Escape!

Review Submitted: November 29, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
Comments left in the Creekside guestbook:Back again! Bob, Josh & Matt hunted and I cooked, read, napped & watched old movies. Walked Wilson & Chester: they spent the majority of the time with their noses to the ground running after all kinds of interesting scents. Every time we went outside we'd listen to the stream. One afternoon, I took a mug of hot cocoa and went down to the "birdhouse" to sit for a while. Very cozy! We're looking forward to coming back in the warmer weather; maybe sleep a night or two in the Birdhouse and enjoy the wonderful camp fire one night. Ruth & Bill made us feel welcome. Their place is like coming home! We'll be back!
