If your version of cabin time includes paddling quiet water, casting for trout at first light, and stargazing after the campfire settles, point your compass to Nature Nooks Retreat in Viroqua. This 87-acre hideaway lays out one peaceful mile of the West Fork of the Kickapoo River right on the property—plus complimentary kayaks and tubes so Cabintimers can slip in and explore at their own pace. Trails ribbon through prairie, wetlands, and woods, with wildlife around every bend.
Nature Nooks leans all-in on sustainability, which makes staying here feel even better. The retreat is 100% solar-powered (48 panels) and has an EV charging station for two vehicles. It’s also recognized as a Travel Green certified business—so your getaway treads lighter while you kick back.
Pick Your Place to Stay
The Lodge fits up to 12 with eight separate beds, a light-filled living area, woodstove warmth, and a screened porch that begs for long conversations. Little Barn Cabin sleeps six in a modern, wood-rich space with sunrise and sunset views from its two decks. Planning a retreat, workshop, or family reunion HQ? Kinship Place is a timber-framed meeting and lodging space with floor-to-ceiling glass, a full kitchen, projector/sound system, dinner service for 36, seating for meetings up to 40, and room for up to four overnight guests. All guests share free access to the kayaks/tubes, game room, and trails.

Four-Season Fun Around Viroqua & Westby
Ten miles up the valley, the Kickapoo Valley Reserve spreads across 8,600+ acres with miles of hiking, biking, skiing, and a famously meandering paddle route—it’s a Driftless classic. Back in Viroqua, stretch your legs on Sidie Hollow’s lakeside trails or bring a rod for its 38-acre lake. When it’s time to toast the day, Vernon Vineyards pours local wines with ridge-top views. Winter visit? Check the Snowflake Ski Club calendar in nearby Westby—this volunteer-run complex hosts ski-jump events and even has a nine-hole golf course at the base of the jump come warm weather.
Insider Tips for Cabintimers
Bring water shoes—the river bottom is rocky in places. Anglers should know the West Fork here is Class I trout water and strictly catch-and-release on the property with barbless hooks (license required). Little ones in tow? The owners keep field guides, nature DVDs, and even a microscope on hand. No pets allowed, and you won’t miss cable—there’s fiber internet for streaming plus a rec room with pool, ping-pong, foosball and more for rainy-day fun. Best of all, Tom and Pam live on site, greet guests, and are happy to share paddling pointers or a favorite trail.
