The perfect place for a quiet county getaway. Close to La Crosse, Winona, and Rochester. The house is beautifully renovated, and the property has walking trails, a firepit, and outdoor activities.

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 Getaway

The house was wonderful, Fantastic kitchen! We were here for Christmas so we didn’t use the outside amenities, but they look awesome. We hope to come back again in the summer! Corey (our host) even went out of his way (last minute) to find a Christmas tree for the house. We highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a tranquil and relaxing experience! Well done

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!

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!

Beautiful Location and Home

We were so impressed with this property! It was the perfect place for my sister and me to stay with our families and host a dinner with all of our siblings and parents to celebrate our parent's anniversary. We had never stayed in a place that was so well furnished, we had everything we needed! Just wish we had a longer stay to explore the property more.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Family Time at the Farm

This property is so comfortable. We loved the huge firepit and enjoyed one night of a beautiful evening by the fire and stargazing at the Milky Way. Sadly, the rest of the week was rainy and cold but at least we got in one good one! The house is very spacious allowing plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and relax! The huge kitchen was delightful for cooking and very well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils and even a few food items! We loved every minute of our stay!

Beautiful farmhouse and property

We enjoyed 5 nights at the Smith Farm and loved it. The house is really nicely decorated and there is everything you need to be able to cook family meals. The sunrise and sunset views both are lovely! the disc golf course is great and the dogs loved the ability to run the property. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels, etc, as well. thank you for such a lovely property! This is close to our daughter's school, so we will be back!

Outstanding Family Time!

This location was absolutely amazing, exceeded our expectations and will certainly be a return destination for us and the family and friends that visited us during or extended stay! The description of the property, the location, the amenities, the photos - all accurately represented this property. The farm was the perfect setting for family gatherings, with many outdoor activities available on-site, spacious indoor gathering room(s), and cozy nooks for some quite time. For an adventure, there are lovely small towns that surround this gorgeous bluff country. Our host(s) were easy to connect with and supported us during our entire stay. If we could have taken the spacious kitchen home with us, we would have! Thank you so much for giving this Minnesota-native family a place to relax and gather - it was a welcoming and much appreciated break from the heat of Arizona!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful ! We had 8 adults and one 6yo at our family reunion, there was plenty of room, and it was great. We chose a week with no moon so we could enjoy about 1 trillion stars and WOW that's an understatement ! We also got to see the tesla train and if you don't know what that is it's line of satellites that it wild. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us it was fantastic!!!

Going back in time with all modern amenities.

This was our first visit to Minnesota/Wisconsin and the Farmhouse was the perfect jumping off point for our father/son fishing trip on the Upper Mississippi. The house had all the charm of an old farm house but updated with top of the line amenities. It exceeded all expectations! The only thing missing was a good pair of binoculars to see all the local wildlife from the front porch…bald eagles, deer, turkey, black squirrels,…
