Thank you to everyone who came to enjoy Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, at Center Cinema tonight! It was a strong crowd and it seems like we might have passed this tradition on to a bunch more families?

We aren’t going to promise hunters who stay at our lodging will harvest a deer. But they do literally come visit you at the cabin.

Our lodging options have been busy this summer. It is very fulfilling when guests notice the extra efforts to provide an exceptional experience and lately our guests have been great at sharing their appreciation. With offerings like saunas, a hot tub, an outdoor soaking tub, and other amenities a stay at one of our locations is one to remember.
To find your opportunity to get away from the chaos and anxiety check out our different lodging offerings below:
We like to mention the up close and personal experiences our guests can have at our lodging options with the resident wildlife. However, this white tailed deer was really checking the place out this morning. (Volume up for the full effect) See more about our different lodgings here:

The greatest review comment we receive from our lodging guests is when they enjoy the events of the Greater Richland Area!

Our lodging guests regularly comment on the enjoyable sightings of ducks, geese, deer, and other wildlife at our cabins. As an additional benefit we now apparently have a family of cranes who have moved in to our Mighty Pine Cabin. We aren’t sure if they plan to stay inside with our guests or just hang out in the yard.

We are a snowmobiling family and host guests who bring their sleds along sometimes. We totally agree with the sentiments shared by Greater Richland Tourism in support of trail access and a safe weekend!
Welcome snowmobilers to the Greater Richland Area! We know you will enjoy our groomed and ready snowmobile trails along with the exceptional hospitality of our tourism-related businesses.
We ask that you join in with us in partnership in providing a safe and enjoyable experience.
A couple of simple rules and good etiquette:
1. Stay on the trails. Please.
2. Drive sober.
3. Ride at a safe speed
4. Make sure your snowmobile complies with all regulations, including noise limits.
Enjoy your trip to the Greater Richland Area and snowmobile responsibly.

We have a cancellation for this weekend and if you have been looking for an opportunity to stay in a tiny home this is your chance. With hot water heated floors and recent construction, the Walnut Cabin is the perfect place to hunker down with your favorite person, a bottle of wine, your favorite movies and enjoy a snow storm. Additionally with the Walnut Cabin use of the sauna and snowshoes is included with the stay.
As a free add-on we offer snowshoes to all guests who stay in our lodging, instruction to beginners, and help with routes and locations guests can enjoy our beautiful scenic views.
The Greater Richland Area received a nice coating of snow anywhere between 6-10” depending on who you talk to. Regardless that means the scenic views are over the top, snowshoe season has begun, and snowmobile trails will be opening soon. Now is a great time to check out one of our unique lodging options and enjoy our outdoor spaces!

Ridge and Valley Tours is connecting people to the land of the Driftless Area by engaging our tour customers with stories of the people, places, and products from SW Wisconsin while committing to the preservation of our Wisconsin agricultural heritage and stewardship of our unique Driftless Area environment.
We seek to bring awareness to agri-tourism, eco-tourism and small local businesses in our area. We plan to acquire B corporation certification and have taken steps to incorporate practices that meet the requirements of the B Impact Assessment. We have included B Corp language to our operating agreement and will continue to write policy that affects our daily operations. We hope to achieve B Corp certification in 3 years.
Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
As B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe:
That we must be the change we seek in the world.
That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.
We are very interested in preserving the farm family agricultural traditions and will use storytelling to share the collective history of SW Wisconsin. We seek to protect the very unique Karst geology and ecology of the Driftless area. We seek to help Richland County capitalize on it’s community's assets, inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces and encouraging businesses that promote people's health, happiness, and well being. We seek to provide education that connects the consumer to their food sources and connects them to the unique and beautiful ecology of SW Wisconsin. We believe in hospitality- the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers. And we believe Wisconsin NICE is a thing. Welcome to our HOME.
