Five Stars is not enough!!
Where to begin? Absolutely beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Whether you need a place as a base when visiting Cedarburg/Mequon or you just want to sit and relax, this is it!! Short drive to Cedarburg or short 2+ mile bike ride to the Interurban trail will get you to Cedarburg and beyond. Or just sit under the patio and listen to nature. If you like bird watching, this is a great place as well. 30 birds identified without leaving our chairs. Again, can't say enough about this place.

French Country Farm Stay in the Heartland
What a lovely place to spend our Thanksgiving holiday as a welcome respite in between visiting family and friends in the area. The farm house was warm and welcoming and offered several amenities, including two fireplaces, that provided cozy spots to relax and unwind. The house was spotless and we slept soundly in the private bedrooms

Perfect Weekend Getaway
Our stay at Sandy and Mark's guest house was truly the most unique place we have stayed in all our years of travel. This beautifully renovated guest house has all the character of a farm building built in the 1800's with all of the modern conveniences that make a stay familiar and comfortable. As beautifully as the home is photographed in their listing, it is even nicer in person. There is no way to really capture all the details, but that is part of the fun...you are constantly seeing something new and interesting in the details of the home. And, the horses in the yard take the experience to the next level. The house is also more spacious that the images represent. That was another very nice surprise. Perhaps the nicest part is the warm welcome you feel from Sandy and Mark. Everything about the way the house is setup reflects their warm and welcoming personalities. They are such kind and gracious people. The Lord has blessed them with the gift of hospitality and He definitely blessed us with an amazing weekend at their farm! Thank you Mark and Sandy! We hope to have many visits there in the future!

Girls Getaway
We had an amazing weekend away celebrating my mom's 65th birthday. The home was absolutely beautiful. We loved the little nooks throughout the house, thoughtful quotes, prayer bundle and amazing outdoor space. We took your advice and ventured to the following locations and highly recommend to other traveling in the area :) 1) Delicately Delicious. The lemon cupcakes were absolutely AMAZING! 2) Anvil Pub & Grille. Loved the location right on the river and in the heart of downtown and the food was delicious. 3) Cedar Creek Winery. We did the summer wine tasting and had a wonderful time. The host was extremely knowledgeable and the cheese and wine pairings were perfect for summer days. We ended up buying a couple of cases :) 4) Glaze! in Thiensville. We made glass pendants for necklaces and drank mimosas. It was a lot of fun and the space was so cute! We can't wait to come back and will definitely recommend your home to others. Thank you for making our trip so memorable. Our weekend was perfect.

Relaxing Getaway
Very well-kept property. The house was in a relaxing and very quiet farm setting with beautiful outdoor areas for walking or just lounging around. The renovation was a marvel of craftsmanship. A welcome retreat from our usual busy lives!
