Peaceful Country Comfort W Panoramic Views of Big Creek Valley

Relax in the comfort of a full-size 2 bedroom, 2 bath luxury 2nd floor apartment with separate entrance for your convenience and privacy. Enjoy the quiet country life with panoramic views of Big Creek Valley from the bay window in your living room, or sip a favorite beverage on the spacious balcony adjoining the King room. Feel free to enjoy our large lawn, take a walk along our woods or enjoy an evening fire in the fire pit.

Our home is situated on the side of a small hill overlooking an active farming area with farmers fields and pastures giving way to rolling wooded hills in the distance. Enjoy a bicycle or motorcycle ride or quiet drive along paved country roads, or relax in the yard or on your balcony with a good book and a favorite beverage.

Wintertime sports activities are nearby with cross country and downhill skiing, tubing and snowboarding at Fort McCoy, cross country at the golf course in Sparta, and downhill at Mount La Crosse. Snowmobile trails abound! You and the kids can enjoy sledding on the mild slope of the hill right behind your apartment, build snowmen in the yard, etc. Try your hand at ice-fishing on Perch Lake or Lake Neshonoc or skating at the Sparta Hockey Rink or one of the outdoor rinks at Memorial Park in Sparta... or just snuggle in and stay warm in the apartment.

The apartment is attached to our home with a separate entrance for your convenience. Sound buffers between our living spaces mean we can't hear you and you can't hear us.

RECLAIMED CHARM
A few years ago a storm blew over an enormous elm tree I climbed as a kid. It landed on the corner of an early 1900's granary. The owner chose not to repair it and allowed us to take it down for the salvaged lumber. You'll find that reclaimed lumber throughout the apartment. Wooden floors were reworked from the granary flooring. Wainscot, trim and wood ceilings were made from the siding. Shelves and benches that adorn the apartment were made from refashioned roofing boards. Table, work station and vanity tops were made from wall studs, beams and boards. Nail holes, knots and blemishes remain visible in the wood giving the finished pieces a unique and beautiful character.

Building our Vacation Rental apartment using reclaimed wood, inspired us to start a "green" business. Used Anew is operated primarily on site. Guests can take a tour of our Show Home & Shoppe, just down the hill, to see many of the products and features we make from reclaimed wood and other materials. As Used Anew, we take apart unwanted buildings in the area, saving what we can of the vintage materials. Then, working with area Amish craftsmen and our own in-house ThingMakers, we produce flooring, accent wall and ceiling options, kitchen cabinets, furniture and decor - all from reclaimed materials!
Along the way, we also accumulate antiques and collectibles, and make these available in the Show Home & Shoppe, as well.
SO, don't forget to ask about Used Anew and request a visit to the Show Home & Shoppe!

We're regulars -- meaning about once a year for the past five or six years. It's always a great place. Very quiet, beautiful country setting, perched up on a hill. Apartment is clean, fully equipped, with handsomely designed and uniquely crafted woodwork and furniture. Larry and Lu are gracious, respectful and accomplished people, and have always made us feel at home. We'll be back!

An excellent place to stay
Our stay was six weeks long, from July 1st to August 15th, Lu and Larry were great, they even gave us fresh veggies from their garden. The apartment has a wonderful view of the valley, farmland and mountains. Quiet, clean, well-stocked and comfortable. If we could leave a ten-star review, we would. when we return to Sparta, Wisconsin we will stay here again. A perfect vacation!

mini vacation
My sister and I stayed for 3 nights at the property. My parents live close by and so we were able to find this great spot that offers more of a "homey" stay instead of a hotel. Plus--we like to support local businesses more than "big name" businesses. Staying out in the country was very relaxing and we took in a nice walk through the local farmland. Relaxing! The kitchen is nicely stocked with cooking utensils, etc. and we were able to cook up an Easter dinner and take it over to our parents. We would definitely stay again!

We will look forward to returning to this property for future bike trips in the Sparta area. We didn't need anything that wasn't there and found the place perfect for three women looking to reconnect. Beautiful location, enough restaurants nearby, and the bike trail is second to none for amateurs like us. Enjoyed touring the hosts' on-site business, "Used Anew."

Nice, Quiet Getaway
I was looking for a quiet spot for my family of four to get away and celebrate our daughter's 3rd birthday. This was a good spot for us to play games, prepare food together, and relax. Larry supplied us with a DVD player to use, and that made my kids really happy that they got to watch the Paw Patrol movie that my 3 yr old had just received as a gift from us. Larry and Lou also gave us half a dozen ears of corn to enjoy! Very kind people. The apartment was very up-to-date, kitchen was well stocked, and the price per night for a place with a jetted tub is probably the best around. We would recommend this place for any small group.
