Driftless weekend

What a delight! Janis is a wonderful host, met us at the property and showed us all around. The location is ideal - minutes from the Kickapoo Reserve, and down the road from Viroqua. The house is a lovely old farmhouse with beautiful wood details, comfortable furniture, fully equipped kitchen, and beautiful views.

Great relaxing, quiet stay

Although we only stayed two nights we were very pleased with our Vrbo choice. The property is a 100-year old farmhouse, literally right "on the farm." The house is spacious, super clean and comfortable. Janis is a very pleasant host; communicative and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful and relaxing

We spent the weekend with 4 families (8 adults and 5 young kids) and we all enjoyed every part of it! Janis the owner was so welcoming and so interesting to talk to. You could hear the love and joy that she has for the property in her voice. The views were breathtaking, the cows were fun the watch and the big mature trees provided some comfortable shade as we had a fun ‘water day’ with the kids. The house and sounds of the farm take you back to a simpler, slower time. Even though there are many scenic attractions near by, there was no need for us to wonder too far. We definitely would love to stay again. :)
