We are approximately 100 miles west of Madison, 60 miles south of La Crosse, only 15 miles east of the Mississippi River, 20 miles north of the Wisconsin River, only 2 miles east of the Kickapoo River.

All of the following villages are within a half hour drive of Lonesome Hollow: Viroqua, LaFarge, Viola, Readstown, Gays Mills, Ferryville, Lynxville, Richland Center, Boscobel, Wauzeka, Seneca, and Eastman. These towns and villages all exhibit there own delightful, rural Kickapoo Valley character.
