We loved our stay at this farmhouse. It has a nice big kitchen, a great soaking tub, comfortable beds, and lots of space. The bedrooms are upstairs in the house. The grounds have walking trails and a disc golf course and a putting green. We loved walking our dog around the trails. We hiked at 4 state parks that were within an hour drive so it was a great location.

Hello. Thank you for letting me know about the coffee maker. If we knew it was having issues, we would have had it replaced right away. Thank you for staying.

The property and home were beautiful. We loved the kitchen and pavillion/fire pit area. Got to play a great round of frolf. And about 30 min from both Winona and La Crosse for our hiking trails which worked out perfect. We visited the owl sanctuary nearby after finding a pamphlet for it inside the house and we had a great time. The only thing our group didn't love was the Murphy bed as its a bit of a tight fit for 2 adults unless you want to snuggle all night. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves for the weekend and really appreciated the space.

The home and property were beautiful. With an older home I worry about temperature control, but this house kept us cool and comfortable despite the hot weather. They provided so much for activities, cooking, and just overall enjoyment. You get great views for sunrise and sunset! We loved this home!

Beautiful home!

We had a wonderful stay at the Smith home. Corey had everything we could have needed to make us feel at home. The disk golf course, putting green, cornhole boards and bocci ball set were an extra bonus that provided plenty of activities for us.

House is so nice. We did scrapbooking and sewing and there was alot of room in the sunroom and dining room to bring tables . The kitchen is fully stocked and great for cooking with others alot of room. We watched movies at night and that was very comfortable. Plenty of room on the 2nd floor for all of us to stay. We will be returning for sure.

Nice getaway on farm

It is a nicely renovated family farmhouse, immaculate and comfortable. Great beds & linens, well-stocked kitchen, and land to explore. The house is close enough to the river, Winona, & LaCrosse for outings; far enough away to feel remote. Recommend!

Hi Margie, I'm surprised to see a 1 star, with wonderful comments. I suspect it was a mistake. We've always maintained a 5 star rating.

Lovely updated farmhouse

Very modernly renovated and updated farmhouse in the country. Great amenities such as kept up hiking trails, disc golf, nice firepit, and blackstone griddle. Close enough to Winona and LaCrosse for city activities as well.

Great getaway

Great little house with lots of outdoor activities and areas to chill. Our only complaint was the bedding & towels were very perfumed (dry sheets we suspected) which irritated our family members with scent sensitivities.

Beautifully renovated farmhouse and surrounding property in peaceful, rural atmosphere

Our family of four greatly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful farmhouse. The surrounding area is very rural, so it is an incredibly peaceful place to stay. About a 30 minute drive from Winona, La Crosse, and other cities with plenty of things to do. The house had everything we needed. I only wish the weather had been a bit better so we could have fully enjoy the outdoor spaces. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay for a family looking to enjoy this beautiful area of southeastern Minnesota.

Wonderful!

This is a beautiful property and location! We loved the farmhouse, renovations, decor, room to roam outside, fabulous grill area and fire pit, and truly appreciated all the thought that went into providing such an efficient and gorgeous space to cook, sleep, play while in the area to visit extended family. There is a space for everyone at Smith Family Farm!

Absolutely Perfect

Everything about this property is wonderful. The house is immaculate and fully stocked with everything you could need. The grounds are beautiful--when we weren't playing yard games or exploring the trails, we were relaxing on the porch. The owners are very responsive and so helpful. I can't say enough good things!

Renovated Farmhouse

We enjoyed our stay at this completely renovated farmhouse. The owners put a ton of work into modernizing the house into a fully functional house with all the amenities while keeping the charm of the original home. The highlight has to be outside. The adjacent gazebo and fire pit are awesome. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a rural getaway or family gathering.

Beautiful house!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. The house was clean and comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and overall it was lovely. All the outdoor space was wonderful and our kids had so much fun walking the trails and playing frisbee golf. The firepit and provided firewood was amazing. We really liked learning about the history of the farm as well. We'd love to return sometime! firepot
