Cottage and Gardens on the Rush River

Our Milkhouse Cottage has been rebuilt from the original milk house when our farm buildings were built in 1906. The gardens were created from the original barnyard floor. The property is across the road from the best wild trout stream in western Wisconsin. . Nestled is a peaceful valley close to designated bike trails and miles of county roads perfect for biking. Amenities include one queen bed, 1 fold out very comfortable sofa bed, air conditioning, private deck, private fire pit & much more. We also have a bunkhouse trailer allowing for another 4 people to say if there is a group.
