Escape 2 nights, 2 weeks - or more - for a lifetime of memories here at Creekside Escape in West Central Wisconsin.
What are we? Creekside is a fully-furnished, modern & immaculate, family-owned guesthouse with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, a fully-stocked kitchen that seats 6, a full laundry room, wrap-around deck with gas grill, a fire pit and game court that's located on a wooded hillside above a crystal-clear trout stream. It's an ideal choice for a 2 night get-away or - better yet - a full week or two.
The house is located on a private acre of land that only you and your loved ones can use. (Well, you might see the owners watering their gardens from time to time. 8-) You aren't exposed to groups of people you don't know, to their noise , vehicles or illnesses. You can feel safe here with your loved ones. And, yes, we welcome K9s, too. (Nightly pet rates and a $100 refundable pet damage deposit apply. See below.) The guesthouse is smoke-free.
We're open the 1st of May thru the first Monday in January, and provide central heat & A/C, a well-appointed kitchen, laundry room w/washer & dryer + laundry soap & dryer sheets, bed and bath linens plus comfortable, clean furniture in every room. DISH 250 Channel TV Programming and WIFI internet service is provided free-of-charge. Five guests can sleep comfortably on beds in this modern mobile home. The full-size sofa bed in the living room is perfect for a 6th approved guest. We'll make up the beds for you (unless you'd rather bring your own linens) or - if time is short between bookings - we'll leave out sheets sets for you to use.
Now, let's talk about the Bird House: 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 call The Bird House. It's 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 relax.
Just about the only things you'll need to bring to Creekside are cell phones, big beach towels, extra large bath towels (if you prefer them) charcoal, flashlights and fire wood.
We offer a discount rate on rentals of 7 nights or more over non-holiday dates.
Bring your fly rods and fish for our Native Brook, wild Brown or wily Rainbow Trout, or your canoes and kayaks so you can ride the currents, or maybe a tube or two for easy riding. Wade a few minutes in shallow water downstream and there's a wide, deep - typically 8 to 10 foot deep - 'swimming hole,' where you and your loved ones, and your K9s(!) can play and swim in the water. Most years, we even have perfect-for-sun bathing, warm-and-relaxing sandbar beaches you can stretch out on, And we leave out lawn chairs for you to use if you want to sit up and read, or 'do' a picnic, or ...... just sit and stare off into space without being interrupted by anyone or anything.
Please be aware the guesthouse and The Bird House aren't handicapped-accessible or child-proofed .
If you're a hunter, our location can't be beat. We're right in what's called the "Deer Capital of Wisconsin." Between the Jackson County Forest lands and Black River State Forest, there's over 188,000 acres of public hunting opportunities. We're just a 10 minute walk away from 1000s of acres of County Forest land - the perfect habitat for white tail deer, wild turkey, squirrels, possum and rabbits - and an 11 mile drive to the state forest.
We've dedicated a whole acre of land around the house just for our guests to use, so Creekside's a very quiet, very private get-away location for all ages. Yet we're an easy drive to state & county lakes, parks, trails, golfing, shopping & dining. You can 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.
Our road is part of a Township-designated ATV route that links right up to the 235 mile Jackson/Clark County ATV/Dual-Sport Motorcycle Trail and 300 mile snowmobile trail. We provide safe, off-road parking for your rigs & trailers close to house, with NO 'extra-vehicle' charges. You can get on your rigs at the house, take one of our driveways out to Dodge Road, then drive straight to the Trail 6 section of the two-County system. Do note: the Township ATV route we're on isn't shown on the printed and online ATV maps Jackson County provides! (Ask us to email you the current Township ATV route map so you can see exactly where we're located.)
The 300 + mile snowmobile trail is well-groomed and maintained and connects to another 500 miles of trails in surrounding counties! Again, you just leave your trailers by the guesthouse, get on your rigs, drive out the driveway and you're in sports-rider heaven.
Our base rates apply to up to 5 overnight guests without pets. If an additional overnight guest is approved, an additional $20 per nite will be charged. We don't count children under the age of 3 at the time of check-in but do reserve the right to limit the number of overnight guests, with or without K9s, at any time.
When you're figuring out nightly pet fees, be aware those costs vary with the number of K9s you're bringing and the number of nites you'll be staying: 2 nite stays, $15 per nite (1 dog) $20 per nite (2 dogs) $25 per nite (3 dogs). For 3 nites or more: $12 per nite (1 dog) $17 per nite (2 dogs) $22 per nite (3 dogs.) $100 refundable pet damage deposit required.
You need to tell us you want to bring K9s when you ask to reserve your nights. Then we'll send you our Pet Rules & Regulations Form to review & tell us if your K9s will fit in here.
It's a 2 nite minimum rental here throughout the year except for:
the last full weekend of September = 3 night minimum rental and Nov 19th thru the 23rd in 2020 = a 4 night minimum rental.
We offer a discounted nightly base rate of $150 per night if you plan on staying 7 or more non-holiday nights October thru January; or just $190 per night base rate if you stay 7 nights or more June through September. (The base rate is the nightly rental fee we charge for up to 5 overnight guests without pets. )
Children are always welcome but must be kept under adult supervision at all times when they're in the house, on the property and in the water. Just ask and we'll be glad to provide a highchair, baby tub, diaper pail and soft play toys for your little ones. When they get to the outdoor-game age, we provide lots of water and land toys, balls, badminton rackets, birds and net, horseshoes, even croquet and a Bocce ball set.
Enjoy all the activities in this area of Wisconsin while you're here, Spring Summer, Fall and early Winter, or just soak up the R & R right at Creekside. 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.
Key in. Sigh. Relax. Enjoy!
