About Pete Hartman
Hello, our names are Peter and Sheri Hartman. We're proud to invite you to enjoy Prairie Hill's 25 acres of peaceful countryside while being within 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours from many interesting destinations. Some of our favorite pass times at Prairie Hill: Taking a late night walk down to the pond and lying down on the dock to look at the stars while being serenaded by the crickets and frogs. Hearing the coyotes night song. Stroll along the wide trails through the woods and past the prairie's pine groves. Collecting fossils. Harvesting pumpkins from the garden. Cutting down our own Christmas trees. Enjoying a campfire by the pond (for whatever reason, we've seen very few mosquitoes during our 14 years here.) Enjoying a hot drink on the deck while the day wakes up and the fog is just leaving. Sitting in the great room with a roaring fire crackling and making the 13 foot ceiling glow while we watch a movie or play a game. Bird watching. Creating and enjoying a delicious meal together. Star gazing. Some of our plans/dreams for Prairie Hill: Build a workshop/barn/pottery studio (would be fun to offer classes to guests). Build a covered deck off the front of the house. Face the house with stone. Prairie restoration. Pete works as a principal in the Madison Metropolitan School District. Sheri is an art curriculum developer for Kid's Junction. They and their four children manage Prairie Hill.
Pete Hartman purchased this House in 1999

Beautiful and Spacious
Perfect place for a girls weekend away. The house is big and plenty of places to relax. The kitchen was great to make champagne breakfasts and gourmet dinners. The road to get to the house is a little crazy and you can definitely miss it if you don’t know exactly what sign you are looking for so make sure to pay attention and go when it’s light out. Overall great experience!
Lovely home and comfortable stay
My book club absolutely loved our stay at Prairie Hill! The home is beautiful, the surrounding land and walking paths lovely, and the owners attentive. We hope to make this a yearly visit.
Repeat visitors here!
This is the third time we've stayed at this lovely property. You can read the other reviews, but I'll say that we loved walking the paths. The weather was perfect to wander the property. It's fairly close to lots of towns, but far enough away to feel secluded and private. Don't miss Munchkey's Orchard down the road and the other farm markets in the area. And yes, we're already planning another stay.
Outstanding.
This is a beautiful place in scenic country. Clean and comfortable. Gracious owner. A place you will want to return.

Great sibling weekend get-away!
Very nice accommodations! The house was very clean with plenty of rooms and comfortable beds. We didn’t realize it was out a bit from town but it turned out fine. Thank you for let us stay!!
Our VRBO experience at New Glarus
Home was beautiful and pond and various walking/running trails a great hit. Peaceful. Owner was very easy to access and very helpful with answering questions.
