Such a nice quiet comfortable place to stay. The kitchen had all the essentials and we greatly appreciated the little banana bread loaf. It was nice getting out to walk on the trails too.

Couldn't have had a more beautiful, peaceful spot for a weekend retreat or warmer, more accommodating hosts. The house is on beautiful land with walking trails--full of birds and flowers in the day, and the stars at night. Extremely peaceful. There are a lot of fun things to do in the area, too. We biked, went to a flea market, hiked around the state park, and had old fashioned at a classic Wisconsin dive. Roberta and Kim are extremely communicative, kind, and generous, a true pleasure to meet them and see their corner of the world.

Why, Bela, you are so kind! I cannot understand how someone reported you as loud and disruptive. I saw no evidence of that, only a pleasant, congenial and engaging couple while enjoying our property, the surroundings and nearby events and establishments. Thank you for coming and COME AGAIN!

About the host

Hosted by Roberta Barham

Host profile image
We live on the property, across the driveway from the rental. We moved here to enjoy nature, the views and clean air. It is our ideal home location!

Why they chose this property

Again, the views, birds, nature. The Driftless exists nowhere else in the world. We feel privileged to live here! The community is phenomenal and the small town offerings are special.

What makes this property unique

We are quiet, serene, pastoral and wholesome. Situated in the rolling hills of the Driftless, close to trout streams, challenging bike routes, we enjoy our magnificent sunrises and sunsets. We have wonderful neighbors who raise chickens, sheep, produce, etc. Our neighborhood is congenial and nourishing!
