Ideal spot minutes from Kickapoo Valley Reserve, Wildcat StatePark & fly fishing

Cozy fireplace for chilly nights, large deck out back with charcoal grill with dark sky certification for summer star gazing and even a porch swing out front overlooking the Kickapoo River for birding, all less than a mile from La Farge’s boat landing. Spend the day paddling down the river, or biking the Driftless, shopping local Amish bakeries & greenhouses, horseback riding at nearby Wildcat State Park or take in a day of superb fly fishing 10 minutes away......while enjoying country living in our charming farmhouse. Three outdoor pools driving distance away- one with a water park!

Walking distance to Organic Valley retail shop, Ewetopia woolen mill, Saturday farmers' market and the Kickapoo Valley Reserve, a 8000 acre paradise for hiking, biking, paddling, horseback riding, XC skiing and camping. Head north a few miles to Rockton bar miles and rent a kayak or tubing for you and the kids. Let your friends camp and you can meet them on the trail tomorrow....

True to description this is an old farm house. Well appointed. The furnishings and decoration, all as if you're visiting grandma at the home place. The setting in the Ocooch Mountains is unlike anywhere else in the mid-west. Most relaxing weekend I've had in years.

This farm house is in a great location in Lafarge. The house is funky, eclectic and charming as hell. Clutter in an interesting way that seems necessary. You can pretty much find anything you're in need of here. The bed is comfortable and the place is clean. Best summer rain on the front porch.The owner lives here on and off. It was awkward to run into personal items in the drawers when we went to unpack.

Selected the property and we were pleasantly surprised by the ample space (3 separate beds, 2 in private bedrooms, one at the top of the stairs with space to accommodate us - just as described). The decor of the home is eclectic and unique. The owner was very friendly and all detail needed for check in was sent the week of our stay with additional info for how to access and what was required upon checkout (strip bedding and take out the trash). We had no issues locating the property and any "normal" items we needed during our stay were easily accessible. Bathroom tiled shower was luxurious with 2 shower heads, but could use an update.

Wonderful stay!

If you are looking for a relaxing, funky place, I can't recommend Dr. Jean's home more! The house and land is beautiful, and it's so close to the Kickapoo Valley Reserve that you're surrounded with trees. We will definitely be coming back!

Quaint cottage near the Kickapoo Valley Reserve

Our group of six (3 couples and 2 pups) loved the location of Jean’s property- it was a two minute drive to the reserve. It was a great location for fly fishing and near enough to Hillsboro and Viroqua for restaurants and breweries. Our dogs enjoyed running around in her large yard and we spent time soaking in the sun on her back porch. There are two main bedrooms, and a third full bed in a loft room leading up into one of the bedrooms. The bathroom was comfortable and spacious and Jean left us local eggs, milk, and butter that we enjoyed for breakfast. Would love to stay here again!

Quaint place but hot and no pool/hot tub

The place was really unique, clean, and well equipped. The owner was very communicative. However, there were two main issues. The first was the lack of cooling. We were there during a heat wave so maybe it isn’t always an issue but we couldn’t use the upstairs rooms even with the mini split running at full. The A/C also didn’t cool the house off. If you are coming in warm weather, be wary of if the two beds upstairs are even usable. They were not for us. The second issue was that the listing said there was a hot tub and access to a (communal) pool. The hot tub did not have any water in it and was not in working order. While the owner did offer to come get it going we were expecting it to be running when we got there. There also was no pool access included, not on site or in the community. The nearest community pool was several miles away and was not included. So if you are planning to stay there, please know there is no pool access of any kind. Hopefully the owner will update the listing as it was inaccurate.

This was a lovely place to stay for a few days. We enjoyed many of the special touches (flowers, eggs & butter). We enjoyed all the recreational opportunities in the area (kayaking, hiking). Hot tub took a long time to warm up, & we could not figure out the propane fireplace on the deck.

Authentic Country Charm

The home and outdoor spaces were perfect for us. We love nature and the sights and sounds of birds and the stillness of country air was beautiful. The house is great for two or a family and two couples. First floor boasts a bedroom and walk in shower. This is exactly what I needed with recent surgeries. Enjoy this home!
