About this property

Destination Driftless- A Trailside Retreat

Our eclectic farm house is nestled in the driftless region of SW Wisconsin! From the relaxing front porch you can occasionally watch the Amish strolling on horse and buggy, catch a great sunset over the rolling hills, or stargaze at night. We are located directly on the cheese county ATV/Snowmobile route so motor sports enthusiast can access this amenity directly off the driveway. Located within 20-35 min of several quaint tourist towns to include Galena , New Glarus, Monroe, Mineral Point,

The space
Guest have full access to the house. In addition we have a great outdoor space to include grilling, hammocks, yard games, tree swings, fire pits, outdoor projector for watching movies and making s’mores.

Other things to note

Our home is a 100 year old farm house and runs on a septic system. Please only use the toilet paper provided (single ply) and please DO NOT flush anything other than waste and toilet paper down the toilet. This will cause a backup.

NOTE:
Please note that the front porch is a three season porch and may not hold a comfortable temperature during the cold winter months. Also note, that the three season porch baseboards should be kept on medium heat and not high, otherwise the breaker may pop.

Another quirk with our old farmhouse are the main floor bathroom pipes. They have a tendency to freeze during extended periods of below freezing weather. This might make the main level bathroom unusable for winter stays. In order to prevent freezing ( if operational during winter stays ), please leave faucets in the main floor bathroom on a slow drip.

Remembering these things will make your stay more enjoyable!

Nice hosts and location, house needs work
The hosts are very helpful and nice. The house has some nice features. The location is gorgeous However, we were not comfortable with the condition of the house--holes in the wall behind many outlets, old-fashioned wiring with electricity going from lightbulbs to power strips. I wouldn't bring toddlers again as there are too many decorative items within reach. If you do bring small children, bring your own plates, etc. for them as the beautiful dinnerware provided is not appropriate for kids. Also bring outdoor toys; there's a beautiful yard for kids.

Very Enjoyable Stay
Six of us stayed three nights in this roomy, comfortable farmhouse in the "middle of nowhere", that was delightfully quiet & serene. Except for the occasional milk-truck, with friendly drivers who waved, and a few ATV/UTV's, there is little traffic, especially after daytime hours.This is definitely farm country. All the bedrooms are on the 2nd floor, but we managed quite well ever though our ages run from 70 to 78. You just learn to be efficient with your trips upstairs. The sleeping arrangements were quite comfortable. The first floor living space was quite large with multiple rooms, comfortable seating & a large table for game-playing. The host was very responsive to questions and always quick to respond. I look forward to visiting this area again and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely Old Farmhouse
Home is charming and cutely decorated. Comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms. We hosted a large family gathering. Weather didn’t allow for use of the nice outdoor space, but there was plenty of space inside for everyone to hang out in and visit comfortably for many hours. Large kitchen area perfect for serving meals to a crowd. Host was easy to reach and quick to respond. We will stay again!

Beautiful Farmhouse
This property was close to the cheese trail and only six miles from downtown Darlington. We had an excellent time on the trail and enjoyed our stay!

Enjoyable Stay
We enjoyed our stay at the farmhouse with all of its character and charm. We had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. We came to the area to hike some of the state parks and ride the ATV trails. The farmhouse is in a great location for accessing the Cheese Country Trail with the roads on both sides of the house (corner lot) being official ATV routes. Thanks so much for renting out your charming farmhouse!

Wisconsin Farm Vacation
We rented this property to give our Colorado kids a taste of the midwest and views of the beautiful landscape. It was well off the beaten path which is exactly what I was looking for. The photos definitely don't do the inside of the house justice. I loved the colors, style and repurposing of various items. I knew what to expect of some features that just come with older homes and I loved going from room to room and checking out all of the nice touches and surprises. There's plenty to do with indoor and outdoor games and activities and lots to do in the area. I was happy with the spices and pantry staples available. I would recommend bringing a few of your own knives if you love to cook. We picked up homemade bakery items and fresh produce from a farm stand nearby and cheese from Roelli cheese factory (fresh curd day on Friday!). All in all, we had a wonderful time and our hosts were friendly and quick to respond to messages. We would definitely stay here again.

Country getaway
Nice home out in country. Peaceful and walk up street for great sunsets. 10-30 min to most towns or activities. Or just stay on property to escape.
