About this property

Farmstead Retreat with woods, pond, trails and easy access to local attractions

This is a 100+ year old farm home with full interior/exterior renovation to its original footprint and function. Renovation was completed in spring 2021. This setting is perfect for quiet, relaxing time away for individuals, couples or families. Intentional design and style choices honor a traditional older farm house and life experience including: a restored clawfoot tub (no shower), gas stove and cast iron cookware (no microwave), restored farm house sink (no dishwasher). The house IS wifi enabled.

The land is a mix of open spaces and wooded acreage adjacent to working farm land. The farm incorporates sustainable agriculture and farming methods with an emphasis on soil regeneration, water conservation and free range grazing and meat production.

A large fire pit area is great for outdoor open fire cooking, s'mores and late night stargazing. Ashland is a 10 minute drive from Chequamegon Bay trails, beach and park access and easy access to Bayfield and other attractions without the tourist congestion! Bayfield ferry to Madeline Island (40 min.), Big Top Chautauqua (35 min.), dozens of parks, water falls, hiking, biking, kayaking, cross country skiing (easy day trip to down hill skiing) and snowshoeing in nearby National Forest land.

The house is cozy and convenient, designed for cooking, conversation, reading and relaxing after days spent in outdoor adventure. Three bedrooms (master on the main floor, two upstairs, smallest bedroom has trundle beds). Bath tub and toilet facilities are separated for ease of use.

Great location, just outside of Ashland. Quick and easy to get to town and to shopping.Plenty of outdoor space. Great deck and deck furniture to sit outside in the evening. The living room contains antique furniture. Not especially great for lounging but worked well for playing card games with the family. No TV in living room.One bedroom downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs, which worked out great for our family of 5. The outdoor shower and the grey water sink in the bathroom were new to my family, but good experiences. Kitchen was well stocked. It is a working farm so the owners will be around in a.m. and p.m. to care for their animals.Wifi was spotty, if that matters to you.Otherwise clean and well cared for.

That’s a good and fair description. We were undecided on providing tvs or the internet in wanting to keep with the early 1900s farm house aesthetic. WiFi is spotty here - it’s cellular and the summer tree cover creates latency at times. Thanks for booking with us, your review - and clarifying for future guests what they can expect.

We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse! The house is beautiful and pristine, check in was easy and Dan and Kathy made sure we had everything we needed.

Ski weekend in Ashland

My friends and I had a great experience at Dan & Kathy's. We were in town for Book Across the Bay, which was unfortunately cancelled, but we had a fantastic weekend nonetheless cross-country skiing at Mt. Ashwabay. Dan & Kathy were very friendly and responsive. I also appreciated the well-equipped kitchen! Wouldn't hesitate to return!
