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!
