Welcome to our Chic Country Home in Portage, Wisconsin—a beautifully updated farmhouse on 80 acres of picturesque land. This charming 1.5 story residence features 1,900 square feet of meticulously designed living space, perfect for family gatherings or a serene escape from the city.


This property is located in a quiet, serene country neighborhood.

**Important Information About Property Use**
Please note that while you'll have full access to the home and its immediate yard, the surrounding open fields are not available for use. Our neighbor, who helps maintain the property, retains rights to the land and may use it for activities such as hunting, especially during hunting seasons. Additionally, in spring and summer, we rent the land to local farmers for crops, making it inaccessible during those months.
For your safety and to respect our neighbor’s rights, we kindly ask that guests refrain from entering the open fields with pets or for recreational purposes. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring your stay is both enjoyable and safe.

Wake up to stunning early sunrises and delightful views of local wildlife right outside your windows, where deer and cranes gracefully wander through the land. We have a resident Sandhill crane family that raises its new hatchlings every year.

Cute and quiet farmhouse
Perfect for some R&R, we enjoyed the house and property, a good central location to several areas includimg Devil's Lake. The host was quick to answer any questions and were very nice.

Fantastic Place to Stay Exceeded Expectations
My wife and I had a wonderful time at this property; it was the perfect getaway to relax and recharge. The property was spotless, and there was no dirt in the rooms or bathrooms. It felt like walking into a professionally cleaned home. The house is spacious, with two bedrooms upstairs and a small workspace. Since the first floor had more room than we needed, we didn't use the upstairs bedrooms. As there were only two of us, we made good use of the well-equipped kitchen, which had everything we needed for cooking throughout the week, including coffee and snacks. This is an older farmhouse that has been modernized to create a homely atmosphere with lots of character and charm. The renovated interior beautifully combines the old and the new, allowing you to experience the unique charm of the original floors, which we found delightful. The property is extensive, with a fire pit, picnic table, and several outdoor buildings that we enjoyed exploring. The host was excellent in communicating with us. When we asked if we could walk the property and where to get firewood, she promptly responded to all our questions. The house has two wood-burning heaters, which made our evenings of watching TV so cozy and romantic. It also has central heating and air conditioning units. One of the most beautiful experiences I had every morning was sitting in the kitchen, watching the sunrise, and enjoying a cup of coffee. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly and was fast. Do plan to go back.
