An amazing stay in the country!

This was a really great place for our family to stay while we explored the area. The property comes well equipped and is very clean. There are many things do do locally and we really enjoyed visiting Mauston and the Dells. We would certainly stay again if we were in the area.

Comfortable place to stay

The home was clean and spacious. About 20 mins from Wisconsin Dells. It was nice to get away from the busyness of the Dells. Would highly recommend staying here.

Mauston trip

Karen is a wonderful host. She takes a lot of pride in this property both inside and out. We loved the historic charm of farmhouse and the little touches, with the floral bouquets from the gardens, to the welcome card and the dove chocolates. We felt right at home.

Perfect farmhouse - close to everything!

What a delightful stay! Host is great with communication. What a warm welcome! House is soo clean and put together, property is really well taken care of. Fresh flowers from her gardens is just one more touch of how much she cares for her guests. Far enough from the business of the dells to enjoy peace and quiet. Close enough to visit the strip , attractions and all the parks and lakes.

Family vacation

We stayed at the farmhouse as overflow housing for a nearby family vacation. It was perfect for our needs. The antiques throughout the house gave it the cozy grace of a bygone era. Coffee on the front porch before heading to family activities was the perfect start to our day. Meeting Karen at check-in and learning some of the history of the home was a bonus.

Family Reunion

Great property, interesting history and wonderfully maintained. Comfortable beds. Steep steps to 2nd floor, but there is a main floor bedroom. Nice areas at the home for visiting, games, etc. The yard and flowers are beautiful. Carr Valley Cheese in Mauston was a fun stop. Only about 20 minutes to Lake Delton.

A Charming Farmhouse with Exceptional Hospitality

We recently stayed at the beautiful hundred-year-old farmhouse and had a fantastic experience. This was our first time using VRBO, and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. The property itself is full of charm and character, offering a perfect blend of history and comfort. Karen, the owner, made the entire process seamless and was incredibly pleasant to work with. From the moment we booked until the end of our stay, she was attentive and ensured we had everything we needed. The farmhouse was spotless, well-equipped, and provided plenty of space for our family and friends to relax and enjoy each other's company. Having visited Wisconsin Dells before, we were excited to experience it in a new way, and staying at this VRBO property truly made our trip special. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay in the Dells.

Very relaxing and central

We had a great week relaxing at the farm house! Karen is very friendly and helpful, and it was rejuvenating to spend time overlooking the planted fields and reading on the screened porch. The location was central to many things we wanted to do: bike the Elroy-Sparta trail, kayak in Wonewoc, pontoon on Castle Rock Lake, golf, and play in the Dells (Tommy Bartlett, mini-golf, Wild Rock Golf Course, and eat - twice - at the Cheese Factory). Things you might want to know that you can't tell from the website: 1) the beds are comfortable, 2) the bedroom that is pictured is roomy and also has a twin bed in it, 3) the other 2nd floor bedroom is charming and has a double bed, 4) the first floor bedroom is a bit cramped (the bed is up against the wall and there's a curtained-off stackable washer/dryer in the room), 5) all the bedrooms have large closets, 6) the road is close to the house (we slept with the air conditioner on so this only bothered us when were were talking on the porch), 7) the shower head in the first floor bathroom is very low (too low for the shortest of us - who is 5'4" - to be comfortable), 8) the second floor bathroom is cheerful and nicely decorated. We thought the house was charming, a good value, and so much more comfortable than staying in a hotel!
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2020
Thank you for visiting our historic old century farm house. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family, Liz. You were wonderful guests! I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed a comfortable and relaxing week at the farmhouse. Also that you were able to experience the beautiful country surroundings, and the many activities and attractions in our area. It is nice to know how much you enjoyed reading on the large screened in porch. It continues to be a favorite gathering place for our family and guests.

The property is well kept and clean. The host was super welcoming and gave us history about the property, which was truly appreciated. We were about 25-30 minutes from Dells, which isn't bad. Mauston (the town near by) also had places to eat and a grocery store. I would definitely rent this property out again, if given the opportunity.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming property! Our host was there to welcome us and show us around the property. She also gave us a brief history of this historic home. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with all the items you'd need to prepare and enjoy a meal, which we did on a couple of occasions. Two refrigerators, one small, one full sized. Nice dining room, large table. Several games to play if you wish. Books and magazines as well. Nice living room. Very nice enclosed porch with plenty of room for everyone with places to sit. Two bathrooms, showers worked fine. It was hot outside when we were there, but the AC units kept us cool inside!! They work very well! I needed a couple of supplies, and it was a very short drive to Mauston, only several minutes. The Dells are a short, easy drive also. 25 minutes or so. The landscape and flower garden around the property are beautiful. Lots of room out back to run and play. This location was easy to find using Google maps. Thank you Karen for a wonderful stay!!! I highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay in the area! I also highly recommend Rivers Edge Pub and Grill in The Dells. My favorite place to eat there. The food is awesome and reasonably priced. It's off the beaten path, but easy to find. If it's your birthday, you get your age percentage off your food and becerage!!!

Beautiful home filled with lovely vintage pieces and accessories. It was so clean and comfortable and we especially enjoyed the screened in porch for our coffee in the mornings, and cocktails in the evenings.Karen was very responsive and it was obvious how proud she is of her home!No internet service was an issue with our grandchildren, but they adapted and soon found enjoyment in playing games and doing crafts.This is an older home, so the showers were not the modern ones we are used to, and there is no dishwasher, but we managed for a weekend!All in all, a lovely stay!

We were looking for something different than a small and stuffy hotel room for a short family vacation. The Old Century Farmhouse gave us the room we needed as a family of 5 and all the amenities of home. Very clean and kept. Would stay there again.
