Getting to Prairie du Chien from Boscobel
Forty-four minutes down US-61, an hour and a half round trip. That works for a boat or hunting gear going away for a season. It works badly for a tradesman pulling tools between jobs, which is a fair share of what Boscobel would store with us. Count the trips honestly before you sign.
Route measured 44 minutes (30 miles) via US-61 and WI-133 from the center of Boscobel to the facility address — not straight-line distance. Prefer we bring it to you? Portable storage delivered to Boscobel.
Storage in Boscobel, WI
A Wisconsin River town on US-61 with a famous hotel room.
Boscobel sits among the hills along the Wisconsin River in Grant County, a town of about 3,200 that runs on farming plus a working base of production manufacturing, the hospital, the schools and Main Street trade. Its odd claim to fame is Room 19 of the old Central Hotel, where in 1898 two traveling salesmen sharing a room came up with the idea that became the Gideons.
River-valley living means boats, fishing gear and hunting equipment that need somewhere out of the weather, and a manufacturing and trades workforce means tools and materials that need staging off-site between jobs. Prairie du Chien is 30 miles down US-61, about 44 minutes — a reasonable haul for something you visit seasonally, and a good candidate for delivery if you would otherwise be running back and forth.

Storing in Boscobel? Pick annual.
If your storage timeline in Boscobel is longer than nine months, the annual rate wins. $65/mo locked for 12 months saves $180/yr compared to $80/mo month-to-month, and you won't hit a mid-year rate change. If you genuinely think you'll be in and out in under a season — say, between two moves — the month-to-month option is cleaner. We don't do hidden fees and we don't do introductory teaser rates that step up later.
One thing specific to Boscobel: at 44 minutes each way, run the numbers on trips before you commit to twelve months. If you'd realistically visit more than monthly, the $35/mo premium for a delivered container often costs less than the fuel and hours you'd spend driving.
Best for: home-to-home moves with no firm end date, ag/contractor seasonal storage, and college-cycle storage around Boscobel.
Best for: short bridge between moves, post-flood/renovation cleanup, job-site project of known duration.
Over 12 months versus month-to-month. The break-even is ~9 months — anything beyond and annual is straight money saved.
What Boscobel customers actually put in an 8x20
The unit is about 1,280 cubic feet — the contents of a 3-bedroom home with the appliances, or a full-size pickup with room to walk around it. Drive-up access means you back a trailer right to the door: no hallways, no lift, no booking a loading dock. What actually shows up varies by town, and in the Wisconsin River valley it skews like this:
Boats and river-recreation gear over the winter
Contractor tools and materials on a local job
Household goods mid-move along the US-61 corridor

Common questions from Boscobel
Depends on how often you'd go. At 44 minutes each way (30 miles), the drive is worth it for a long-term stash you visit a few times a year. If you'd be in and out monthly, price our delivered container to Boscobel instead — it usually wins on total cost once you count the trips.
Yes. 24/7 gate access starts the day your first payment clears. Same code, same gate, no time restrictions.
We standardize on the 8x20 shipping container. If you need significantly less space, an 8x20 may still be the right call — splitting belongings across two facilities usually costs more than slightly over-buying once.
If you'd rather we bring the container to you, see our portable storage in Boscobel page — $100/mo annual or $120/mo month-to-month, plus a delivery fee based on distance from our Prairie du Chien yard.
