It is a lovely location but the cabin was a bit more rustic than we were expecting even after reading through the reviews. Just wasn't our thing.

Rustic cabin

We only stayed one night while visiting friends just down the road. It met our needs for the short time we were there but wouldn’t want to stay too much longer with no inside toilet or hot water. Otherwise, a quaint little cabin.Checking in ended up being super easy since everything was open and air conditioning was on but there was no communication prior to arriving. Didn’t end up being a problem.

Good budget option when traveling with a doggo

It's not super well-maintained or clean, but not awful if it go into with with clear expectations. What wasn't great was the lack of thoughtful amenities stocking. Examples- cheap bedding, and no extra in the event it was a chilly night. Pull out mattress SUPER uncomfortable. Dish soap nearly empty. No hand sanitizer in porta pot. Crappy scratched up frying pan. No matches or lighter (fire pit outside). No communication before, during or after stay with host.

Relaxed in Nature

Had a nice relaxing weekend in nature. The property overlooks a bubbling stream so the scenery was amazing!My only downside was that I had hoped it was a bit more remote/private, but there are other cabins not far away (maybe 200-ish feet?) Not a biggie if you don't mind the company though. :)Regardless; wonderful stay! Host made things simple/left instruction that were clear/easy to follow. Got a burger from the recommended spot and it was awesome! Cabin was adorable and again, overlooking the bubbling creek was lovely. Thank you!!!

Would stay again but come better prepared.

Him - Below is a review written by my girlfriend. I brought her here for a surprise weekend getaway. Her review is quite thorough so I will only add a few of my own thoughts. While the amenities or lack thereof are stated in the listing, they are not entirely accurate. For some reason, the cabins seem to be an afterthought. The potential for this little cabin is enormous! Sadly, it is seriously neglected. This is odd considering the associated campground is absolutely gorgeous and well maintained! There obviously has been no maintenance of any kind for some time. With just a little maintenance and attention, this would have gone from barely a 3 star to a 4+ star stay easily. The site is great, the view over the water is beautiful and as I mentioned in my header, we would be willing to stay again but will make sure to come prepared. I wanted to make my gf a nice dinner a couple of nights so I contacted the host and specifically asked if there was pots and pans and such and was told yes. What we found was was one small pot, no pans, an electric frying pan without a cord and most utensils are even less than thrift store quality. I have no problem with mix and match utensils and thrift store kitchenware! But there was not even a decent selection of basics. We knew there was no hot water, but there wasn't even a big pot to heat water up in! The listing says there is a grill....yup. one with the legs broken off and tossed into the weeds so it sits on the ground. Really?? You

Cute little cabin!

We found this cabin after a last minute search for a rental after finding out a wedding we were attending was farther from home than we thought, and I am so glad that we found this cabin! It’s the perfect size for 2 people and a dog! The view of the river from the porch is absolutely stunning, especially during fall when all the leafs on the trees were turning beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow! The manager is great at communicating and was so accommodating when we needed a little bit of an early check in to make it to the wedding on time as well! 10/10 I’d definitely recommend this cute little cabin to anyone thinking of booking it!

Disappointment

The property and the surroundings are excellent the actual cabin is terrible. The place smells of mildew, the stove didnt work, the refrigerator didn't work. I had to put any perishable stuff in the freezer and that took 12 hours approx to get cold. The bed was ok. The sink only had cold water. I expected the porta potty. I did enjoy the environment and the beautiful area i just think the vrbo advertising was very misleading. The wifi was ok. All the creature comforts that were expected didn't work. The cabin isnt even locked from the outside. This place was like squatting in a shack. I could have paid for a motel 6 and spent as much and been more comfortable but it was a little getaway for me to recharge so it turned out all right.

Proximity to the creek is perfect and the central location to all the fishing areas is great. Nice to grill out and listen to the water bubbling.

Always a pleasure

We always have the best time here. The location is the absolutely best and the cabin is what you should expect for the very very reasonable price. I have stayed here maybe 5-6 times now, with kids & with friend and it never disappoints.

Weekend getaway with an extra guest!

When we entered the cabin we’re we overcome by a strong smell of urine. When we opened the sleeper sofa we discovered the source of the smell. A mouse had made its home in the sleeper sofa mattress and there was a football sized nest. The mattress was loaded with mouse droppings. After cleaning the sofa sleeper up ourselves, our little furry friend paid us a visit and scurried up and around the sofa before disappearing. I believe we should not have to pay any cleaning fees after doing the cleaning ourselves!

Blakley Hobbit small cabin

It’s perfect for one or two ppl that are in the area for hiking or fishing and don’t want to camp. It has everything you need and is right on the river. Incredibly peaceful stay, 15 min from Viroqua or Kickapoo Valley Reserve. It’s a great location right outside of Viola.

One night visit.

There was a mix up with the cabin I rented. There was another party at the same time which ended up being ok. I was able to check in earlier than I could. However, when I got into the cabin there was mouse droppings, and cobwebs. I had to clean even before I could get comfortable. I brought an air mattress to sleep on alot easier than having to go up a ladder. As soon as you step outside I smelt what I thought was just the water, I was wrong, it was the garbage dumpster not too far away. It was adequate for one night.
