Awesome place
This house was super awesome. We came up from Ohio and the the house and owners had everything we could’ve needed and more! The land was beautiful! Only complaint was no porch light on the front of the house so we kept passing it at night time. Would recommend and would stay again!

Skiing Retreat
We spent time skiing at Cascade Mt. (20 min away). This house was great for the seven of us to spend time resting and playing games and music and enjoying each others company. Would rent again. Enjoyed brunch as nearby Broadway diner in Baraboo and Pizza from Sal's in Portage.

Relaxing getaway with wonderful views
We rented the farmhouse because it allowed for our dog to accompany us. What a wonderful surprise on arrival. The views were incredible. I attended the Madison Quilt show and the Farmhouse was just a quick 45 minutes from the show and 20 minutes from our Son and his family. Gas Grill, large home, dog friendly, 3 season room, fire pit and plenty of deer and wild life. We spoke with Terry the guest contact and she was very helpful. We had no issues just a couple of questions. We are already looking forward to another trip to the Farm house.

Great Getaway Vacation
We had three families stay and our time here was wonderful. The heating in the house was incredible and kept us really warm. Our dogs enjoyed the large land area around the house. Nearby are two ski areas which our kids enjoyed. The house was isolated, very enjoyable and had great views!

Amazing House In The Hills.
This property is one of the most beautiful places my family has stayed. We took so many pictures of the awesome landscape and farm house. The house was fun to explore and have a great game of hide and seek. We all had a wonderful time in this home away from home.

Great Family Vacation Getaway
We greatly enjoyed our stay here! We visited Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells during our vacation. The Farm House was a great location to just relax together and enjoy the peacefulness of nature. We loved getting to see the deer and turkey during our stay. I was thankful for the amenities provided since I forgot my baking dish for Saturday's breakfast. We were very happy with our stay and the views were amazing!

Charming, comfortable authentic farmhouse
We spent several days at this lovely farmhouse. The best things about it are the amazing views and quiet location. You can see all the way down the valley and even have a peek at the river from the kitchen and upper bedroom. The house and barns out back give you a feeling of visiting the past, but with all the modern comforts (yes, good Wi-Fi). Beautiful outdoor area and fire pit. Everything was clean and comfortable; like being at home on vacation. We hope to visit again.

Wonderful getaway
This spot was great. It is a little remote - but we loved hiking during the day and then coming back to make dinner and unwind. The rolling hills out the window are lovely. We had an adventure where the power went out during a thunderstorm and the owners were fantastic and brought candles for us. Watching the thunderstorm in the dark added to the adventure! We would stay again!
