Respite rarely comes with such rustic luxury. A two-night getaway in the Amish-built guest house (The Ice House) is yours, at Louis' Bluff on the Wisconsin River, a few miles north of Wisconsin Dells.

• Secluded, historic site with more than a mile of shoreline


• Walking trails through fields, woods, wetlands and rocky bluff


• Scenic and easy paddling on the Wisconsin River

Sleeps two to four people (one queen bed in bedroom, one queen size futon in the loft). You must bring bed linens and towels.

Available year-round, during the week or weekends.
