I needed a vacation that wouldn’t break the bank…and Justin Trails fit the bill perfectly. Its about a 4 hour drive from Chicago and is located in the “driftless” portion of the Wisconsin rolling hills, basically meaning the land wasn’t flattened by glaciers.
Justin Trails is a B&B located on what used to be a working farm. The setup is darling, and you can either get a room in the main house, reserve one of the cabins for more privacy or even camp at different locations on their 200 acre chunk of land.
We chose the cabin and it had a great Whirlpool hot tub elevated in a loft setting. Justin Trails has two 18 hole professional disc golf courses. The smaller is about a 1 mile walk up and down those rolling hills, while “big boy” is about 3.1 miles and is so so difficult. We spent a lot of time searching for badly thrown discs.
Every morning Don and Donna, the hosts, serve a homemade breakfast that consists of eggs, bacon, a fruit assortment and yogurt and Donna’s homemade granola. It was a perfect start for a big day of hiking and chasing your discs through brush.
Best part for us was Justin Trails is dog friendly, so we got to bring our little Karma to enjoy the nature and get out of the city for some much needed RR. I recommend for local getaways, a romantic weekend or just some time out of the city.

Paul Bunyan log Lodge
July 8th, 2009 by justin trails
We came across Justin Trails Resort on the Internet while looking for a family 4th of July getaway and it turned out to be one of our best vacations yet!
The “Paul Bunyan” Lodge is perfectly cozy and seemed just right for our family of five. The boys loved the bunk beds; we even found time to relax in the whirlpool and baby thought every bit was exciting.
Feeding the llamas, talking to the cats, goat & dogs, exploring the trails were the highpoints of the kids’ vacation!
We grilled every evening on the charcoal grill in our backyard and the “campfire” in the firepit on a moonlit night, roasting marshmallows & eating smores was simply the icing on the cake!
And last but not the least we have to rave about the heavenly breakfasts served by Donna. Yummy homemade granola and out of the world homemade yogurt! Don & Donna are the most gracious hosts and we can’t thank them enough for making this a truly memorable holiday getaway for us!
