The Genz Log House in the Forest is Mother Nature's own recipe for peace and quiet, surrounded by the hills and valleys of Western Wisconsin.

ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIES

The hills and valleys of Western Wisconsin are shown off on this lovely and unique property. The Eau Galle River, a class 3 trout stream at this point, runs through a mile of the property.  The river is not stocked for this part of its length, but the excitement of trying to locate a fish still exists.

There are over 2 miles of mowed grassy trails on the property providing non-motorized opportunities for hiking, snow shoeing, or cross country skiing. The South Trail takes you to the river and to cliffs along its banks.  Wildlife abounds.

The property is adjacent to the United States Army Corps of Engineers Highland Ridge Campground where many more trails are available.  The eagles nest is a point of interest there.

Wild turkeys flourish. Coyotes, fox, deer, and raccoon are a part of everyday life.  Wonderful opportunities abound for painters, photographers, and bird watchers.  Adventures for children are only as far away as their imagination.

Serene and quite, the nearest house is 1/2 mile away.  Ideal for a secluded and memorable honeymoon.
