Earthology Retreat Center is 30 acres of Driftless Region wilderness located in the Maple Dale Valley, just walking distance from some of the area's best trout fishing, and is just a short two miles from downtown Viroqua. We have two solar powered and ecologically designed cabins nestled in the woods that are connected to two miles of private hiking trails along the creek and in the valley. The space The Eagle's Nest Cabin is perched on a ridge top overlooking our private wooded valley. Parking is near the cabin. The interior of this ecologically designed cabin includes a living room with a queen spring mattress futon. Two ladders on either side of the living room lead to two small separate lofts, each with a twin mattress with memory foam. All bedding is included. The kitchen has a sink, dishes, pots, pans, silverware, kitchen towels, a single butane powered burner and a dorm sized fridge. The bathroom and kitchen both have running water. The bathroom has a sink, toilet, shower and super soft towels. There is a water heater and a space heater as well as a fan and ceiling fan (there's no AC). There's also a folding table and folding chairs to use for meals. Outside of the cabin there is a wrap-around covered porch, charcoal grill and fire pit. Wood can be purchased by the bundle onsite. The solar powered cabin is connected to two miles of private hiking trails on the property that run through the valley, along the creek and through the woods. If you are visiting with a larger group, we have also have our smaller Hillside Cabin available for rent and hike-in camping down by the creek (please check with us about rates and availability ahead of time). Guest access Guests may use their rental cabins, fire pits outside their cabins and enjoy two miles of private hiking trails along the creek and through the valley. Other things to note Covid-19 Note: Due to the pandemic, we are taking extra precautions to ensure our cabins are 100% clean for our guests. In addition to sanitizing all surfaces and items in the cabins, as well as bedding, we are taking the extra step of blocking a minimum of 3 days in between each guest's stay, as the virus does not survive on most surfaces beyond that length of time. Due to these extra steps, our cleaning fees per stay are currently double what they would normally be, and our required length of stay has been increased to 3 nights. These rates and requirements will go down when the pandemic concludes.
