House is so nice. We did scrapbooking and sewing and there was alot of room in the sunroom and dining room to bring tables . The kitchen is fully stocked and great for cooking with others alot of room. We watched movies at night and that was very comfortable. Plenty of room on the 2nd floor for all of us to stay.

Beautifully renovated farmhouse and surrounding property in peaceful, rural atmosphere

Our family of four greatly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful farmhouse. The surrounding area is very rural, so it is an incredibly peaceful place to stay. About a 30 minute drive from Winona, La Crosse, and other cities with plenty of things to do. The house had everything we needed. I only wish the weather had been a bit better so we could have fully enjoy the outdoor spaces. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay for a family looking to enjoy this beautiful area of southeastern Minnesota.

Nice getaway on farm

It is a nicely renovated family farmhouse, immaculate and comfortable. Great beds & linens, well-stocked kitchen, and land to explore. The house is close enough to the river, Winona, & LaCrosse for outings; far enough away to feel remote. Recommend!

Great getaway

Great little house with lots of outdoor activities and areas to chill. Our only complaint was the bedding & towels were very perfumed (dry sheets we suspected) which irritated our family members with scent sensitivities.

Wonderful Getaway

The house was wonderful, Fantastic kitchen! We were here for Christmas so we didn’t use the outside amenities, but they look awesome. We hope to come back again in the summer! Corey (our host) even went out of his way (last minute) to find a Christmas tree for the house. We highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a tranquil and relaxing experience! Well done

Absolutely Perfect

Everything about this property is wonderful. The house is immaculate and fully stocked with everything you could need. The grounds are beautiful--when we weren't playing yard games or exploring the trails, we were relaxing on the porch. The owners are very responsive and so helpful. I can't say enough good things!

Beautiful house!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. The house was clean and comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and overall it was lovely. All the outdoor space was wonderful and our kids had so much fun walking the trails and playing frisbee golf. The firepit and provided firewood was amazing. We really liked learning about the history of the farm as well. We'd love to return sometime! firepot

Renovated Farmhouse

We enjoyed our stay at this completely renovated farmhouse. The owners put a ton of work into modernizing the house into a fully functional house with all the amenities while keeping the charm of the original home. The highlight has to be outside. The adjacent gazebo and fire pit are awesome. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a rural getaway or family gathering.

Family Time at the Farm

This property is so comfortable. We loved the huge firepit and enjoyed one night of a beautiful evening by the fire and stargazing at the Milky Way. Sadly, the rest of the week was rainy and cold but at least we got in one good one! The house is very spacious allowing plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and relax! The huge kitchen was delightful for cooking and very well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils and even a few food items! We loved every minute of our stay!

Outstanding Family Time!

This location was absolutely amazing, exceeded our expectations and will certainly be a return destination for us and the family and friends that visited us during or extended stay! The description of the property, the location, the amenities, the photos - all accurately represented this property. The farm was the perfect setting for family gatherings, with many outdoor activities available on-site, spacious indoor gathering room(s), and cozy nooks for some quite time. For an adventure, there are lovely small towns that surround this gorgeous bluff country. Our host(s) were easy to connect with and supported us during our entire stay. If we could have taken the spacious kitchen home with us, we would have! Thank you so much for giving this Minnesota-native family a place to relax and gather - it was a welcoming and much appreciated break from the heat of Arizona!

Beautiful Modern Farmhouse

This property was nothing short of amazing! We spent most of our time in the kitchen, as I booked this house for an intimate Thanksgiving with my partner’s family. It was snowing, so we weren’t able to explore the outdoor aspects too much, but there is a closet in the basement with outdoor activity supplies such as baseball mitts and balls, beanbag toss, and quality frisbees for the course. The kitchen was the perfect space to cook a Thanksgiving feast, and the dining room area sat us all comfortably. The soaking tub was sooooo nice, and the hosts were thoughtful enough to provide candles and a few bath bombs for our stay! Overall, this property is a 15/10, and I cannot say enough good things about it. You do need to take a gravel road to access the house, but the road is maintained very well and handles well without AWD even in fresh snow.

Retreat in the Driftless Region

Spent a week here with my wife and kids and my in-laws. Really enjoyed the hiking trails and disk golf. Kids loved their kids room. There was an assortment of outdoor games to use there. Property manager was easy to get a hold of when there was a slight issue during check in (which seemed to be a messaging issue on VRBO's end). House was really quaint and cozy. Beds and linens were clean and house seemed very well maintained. Fire circle was nice in the evenings and wood was provided. The house also had the best assortment of kitchenware of any place we ever stayed. During our stay we visited Great River Bluffs State Park, Winona, toured on the La Crosse Queen, picked apples in Galesville, WI at Ferguson's (great place for kids 1-10), and I road the gravel roads around Ridgeway, Witoka, Houston, Hart, Money Creek, and Hokah on my bike. Got to see professional cyclist Chase Wark ride by the house too, who was also in the gravel bike race I was in, in Hokah. My only suggestions is to change the lights in the house from the cool blue lightbulbs to warm yellow bulbs (personal preference). Also add a few more homely touches to the farmhouse. Pictures of the farm through the years and the Smiths would be neat (I love learning the history of places).
