About the host

Hosted by Donna and Dave Ernst

Host profile image
Both of us are Western Wisconsin natives and love country living. We are very lucky to be raising our children in this beautiful area.

Why they chose this property

This house was owned by a family member and when they decided to sell it, we chose to buy it and allow others to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the area. The land surrounding it is part of our farm and has been in Dave's family since the end of the Civil War.
