WELCOME TO OUR HOME:
Come enjoy our modernized, turn-of-the-century farmhouse with picturesque views from every room. The home comes equipped with all of the modern conveniences including high speed Starlink internet, central heating and cooling, in unit laundry, new appliances/washer/dryer, and newer finishes throughout.
Highlights of the floor plan include: comfortable living room with wood burning stove, sunroom with futon and 55" TV that can be closed off from the living room (perfect for herding children or remote work!), separate dining room with seating for 8, fully stocked kitchen (see more below!), and a large screened in patio adorned with decorative lights for bug free relaxation and outdoor dining. In addition, 3 bedrooms upstairs featuring two with queen beds and one with a twin-over-full bunkbed (all with new mattresses and high quality linens) - plus one bathroom on each floor (full bath upstairs and powder room on main level).
Chef quality cookware, table settings for up to 12, Gaggia espresso coffee machine, spices, kitchen basics, and a Weber propane grill are all at your disposal for home-cooked meals.
HIGH QUALITY TOILET PAPER!! :D
Let your family spend quality time together indoors or outdoors with fire pit, corn hole boards, board games & puzzles, tree swings, fishing equipment, canoe, lifejackets, and more are all available for guests.
GUEST ACCESS AT THE FARM:
Guests will have full access to our home, pond, and land for their own enjoyment, (our closest neighbor is 2 miles away!). The farm is a total of 42 acres with over 3 miles of mowed trails for hiking, biking or X-C skiing depending on the season.
Our 1.5 acre pond is situated just outside our home and stocked with bass, sunfish and bluegill. Canoe, lifejackets, paddles, and fishing equipment are included or bring your own!
Evening activities include experiencing some of the midwest's best sunsets, dinner on the screened in porch, and s'mores to cap off the night! A large fire pit and plenty of firewood is provided for relaxing, s'mores, storytelling, and stargazing just outside of the house.
Prefer to be indoors? Books and board games are at your disposal, as well as our puzzle table (ongoing puzzle for guests to work on!). 55" TV with an array of family friendly DVDs and most major streaming services. Or just sit back, unplug, and enjoy the rocking chair & wood burning stove.
Whether mountain biking or hiking the trails, meandering across the property, fishing, or simply sitting around the campfire listening to the coyotes howl under a blanket of stars, guests will revel in the simple pleasures of life “on the farm”.
