Our Wisconsin Log Cabin Lodging is nestled in the middle of Southwest WI’s
unique "driftless
region," the only area in the midwest that was not touched by ancient
glaciers. Surrounded by magnificent vistas of rolling hills and hidden
valleys, interspersed with enormous mounds and unusual rock formations.
Our region has interest for nearly every taste: State parks, the majestic
Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers, world-class entertainment at the
University of Wisconsin Platteville fine arts center, lead mine tours,
many unique
historic towns and villages, and much, much more.
A world of discovery awaits you at
Walnut Ridge,
all less than 60 minutes away!
