Top Wisconsin Getaway Destination
There’s a reason, in fact many of them, that the Driftless Area can and should be considered one of the top Wisconsin getaway destinations. For one, the scenery here is nothing short of inspiring. If you’ve only just stumbled on the Driftless Area of Wisconsin, you’ll soon see the unique nature of this area of Wisconsin, left untouched by glaciers. The results left behind are captivating forested hillsides and stunning valleys, criss-crossed by crisp, clear rivers and streams. If you do nothing more with your time here than admire the beauty, which you’ll find along every ridge, valley, and bend in the road, it will be time well spent. If you want to get out for a little activity and adventure, there’s plenty of that here, too. There are miles upon miles of trails for the exploring, whether it’s on a pair of snowshoes or cross country skis. Bird enthusiasts will relish the opportunity to watch hundreds of majestic bald eagles soar over their Mississippi River feedings grounds, visible from many places along the Great River Road.
If you like to spend your time together exploring new towns, then head to nearby Viroqua or Prairie du Chien. Both towns maintain charming historic downtown cores with a variety of quaint shops and restaurants to enjoy. Favorite places include the Viva Gallery, the Viroqua Farmers Market, Driftless Books, and the Driftless Café for lunch or dinner. There are also several wonderful wineries and breweries that make for a wonderful afternoon stop, before heading back to our romantic home. Popular destinations include Branches Winery, Vernon Vineyards, Weggy Winery, and the Driftless Brewing Company right here in Soldier’s Grove. Once back at Lonesome Hollow, unwind together in front of a gas fireplace, where you’ll find that it is the perfect way to escape from the pressures of every day life. Do something extraordinary for yourself this winter, and book a Wisconsin Getaway at our Driftless Area Vacation Rental today.
Get Inspired at the Driftless Area Art Festival
We’ve talked many times about how important and beautiful the sculpted lands of the Driftless Area are. The forested hillsides and steep bluffs that characterize the Driftless Area stand in sharp contrast to the typically flat lands of America’s Midwest, which were flattened by retreating glaciers in the last ice age. These untouched lands have been a lasting source of inspiration to the many artists that call this region home, including painters, potters, woodworkers, weavers, metalsmiths, musicians, and more. While it’s possible to experience their art in various regional studios, galleries, and stores, these artists come together once a year to celebrate their art at the popular Driftless Area Art Festival in our hometown of Soldiers Grove. To experience this artistic world at its best, book your room at our Wisconsin Vacation Rental today.
