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 and comforter for the full-size davenport sleeper, but we'd prefer you bring your own sheets. One strong word of caution: there are bears in Jackson County. So, whether you're sleeping in our screen house, or in your own tent or camper, you must be wary, especially in the spring. Kids, dogs and smoking are all allowed inside - but guests assume all financial responsibility for any damage done to the furnishings, woodwork or screens.
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 along (no phone hook-ups here), also bathroom and bedroom linens, and flashlights. Oh, yeah, groceries, too. That's it. Key in. Sigh. Relax. Enjoy!
