Really great stay in all the right ways. Comfy beds, homey touches with all the cooking basics and a nicely stocked kitchen. Plenty of games inside and out, and the hammock was well used. Loved the lights at night!!!’
Nice farm house with all the amenities you need. Beds were super comfy, nice to have internet. Rocky the Russian Spy cat came to visit a few time.

Our family of 3 stayed here for our daughter's graduation from UW Madison. We were so busy that we basically just got to sleep here, but we all said we wished we could come back another time when we could just stay around the Farm - it was so cozy and relaxing! It feels very homey, the beds are super comfortable, and it's out in the middle of country, so peaceful! The icing on the cake was the incredibly sweet cat Rocky who greeted us at the door - made it feel even more homey! Common was a great communicator! Thank you so much - we look forward to visiting again sometime!
The Napping farm has interesting history documented in the welcome book. There's games and books to keep you occupied and if those don't work, there's high speed internet and tvs. But a walk around the property is also a welcome attraction. The kitchen and baths are stocked with much more than is necessary. We enjoyed our stay!
Perfect weekend getaway! Remote enough to see the stars and be able to relax, but close enough to grab a meal out or groceries to make in the kitchen with ease. Love the house, the grounds and the whole experience. I definitely hope to be back again!
