Bluff Country Farmhouse with a view

Get away from it all in bluff country! 4 BR farmhouse, remodeled kitchen and bathroom, a huge yard with a fire pit, swingset, and amazing views. We're close to Whalan, Lanesboro, the Root River, Rushford, Peterson, Diamond Creek, fly-fishing, and the Root River bike trails. Take a short road trip to Houston Nature Center, Whitewater, Forestville or Beaver Valley Creek State Parks. This is such a beautiful area of the state- so unique and full of friendly people. Our farmhouse is great for families, reunions, girls getaways, couples, or solo travelers who want to unplug for a few days. No hunting groups please.
We follow an enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed with expert guidance. Here are a few highlights:
I sanitize high-touch surfaces, down to the doorknob
I use cleaners and disinfectants approved by global health agencies, and I wear protective gear to help prevent cross-contamination
I clean each room using extensive cleaning checklists
I provide extra cleaning supplies, so you can clean as you stay
I comply with local laws, including any additional safety or cleaning guidelines

Beautiful location and nice house
The historic farm house was lovely! Many updates but also preserved a lot of the original house. The kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment we needed to prepare meals. We really enjoyed exploring the farm buildings and the awesome outdoor seating area in the shed next to the hog barn. It's a great location near biking, hiking and paddling/tubing.

Spectacular sunsets
This was a wonderful place to satay-lots of space for yard games. Had everything we needed-very well stocked kitchen and supplies. The only suggestion would be for a 2nd shower to b added w the tub, even if just a handheld shower. The extra chairs and leaves for table was greatly appreciated!

A very good choice
We had a wonderful experience during our stay. The location is very quiet and peaceful. Kristie was very prompt in communication. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were clean and comfortable. We were blessed to have great property owners and a charming farmhouse to help us relax and enjoy our time with our children!

Family Time
We enjoyed our stay as we gathered as a family. The farm was very spacious, perfect for outdoor games and campfires. The location was far enough away for plenty of privacy yet close enough to take in some activities in the area. The farmhouse itself was a combination of history and modernization. We enjoyed looking at the old pictures decorating the walls, but also enjoyed the central air and dishwasher. It was spacious enough for our group of 10 to gather around the table for meals and around the TV for movie night. Our 2 year old granddaughter loved the swing set and spent most of her time swinging with whoever was available to give her a push and stayed up late so she could join us for a campfire each night. We hope to come back again as it was a very nice place and the owners were very easy to work with.

Amazing location and cute farm house close enough to town to grab a bite to eat and far enough away to feel totally unplugged.

Farmhouse for a Crowd
The views from this large farmhouse are stunning. It sits on a hill overlooking gorgeous farmland. We had 8 adults and 3 children in our group and had plenty of room. If you have younger children, there is no need to bring toys because there is a bonus porch with lots. The living room is also stocked with games, coloring books and the like. I wish the weather would have been better so we could take advantage of the huge yard and fire pit. If you plan on cooking, there is plenty of equipment, but I would suggest you bring your own frying pans. It really was the perfect place for our large group!

It was a wonderful get away. The house was very nice and has character. We would have liked more counter space in the kitchen. The owners are very nice and accommodating.

Perfect Family Get-away!
I can’t even begin to express how wonderful our experience was at The Farm! We have 4 young children 10 and under and we were looking for a private secluded place that they could just run and play and we could relax and not worry about traffic, etc. Kristi and Bruce were amazing hosts! They answered immediately whenever we had a question. Absolutely everything was provided! We needed nothing and it was organized so nicely that it was so easy to find. The house has the original “vintage” farm feel but was clean and updated beautifully. We can not wait to come back!
