Steps from Lake Michigan, place to unplug, peaceful country retreat. Our family farm is a quiet, relaxing getaway with historic energy. The spirit of this home is to provide a comfortable, intimate, highly crafted interior that is great for a family getaway, a golf retreat or simply to clear your mind from everyday stresses. Located just off Lake Michigan, and convenient to Whistling Straits and Lambeau Field, the farm is just 3 hours north of Chicago.

Our farmhouse is located in Northeim, a crossroads farming community that dates back to the mid 1800s. The rental unit is attached to a barn built in 1875. The home is newly renovated - thoughtfully designed and crafted to be a respite from everyday life. The home is situated on 5 acres and a future orchard (coming spring 2023)!

Living Area:
Cozy up by the fireplace and enjoy our well-stocked library, including vinyl, turntable, and an excellent selection of board games. In lieu of a TV, high-speed internet and a projector are provided for movie watching, just bring your laptop. The large dining table is great to host a family dinner or game of ping-pong!

Kitchen:
The kitchen and dining area is set up for cooking and entertaining! Fully stocked with cooking necessities, full size refrigerator, gas stove/oven, coffee maker & Keurig, toaster, top line cookware and cutlery. Clean-up is easy with the built-in dishwasher; detergent is provided. There is no garbage disposal so if you could please throw waste in the garbage under the sink.

Sleeping:
The bedrooms are located on the second level. The main bedroom has a queen bed, ensuite bathroom, wardrobe and desk. The second bedroom has a built-in bunk bed with full size lower bed and twin above. This bedroom also has desk and wardrobe. Both down and down-alternate bedding are provided. Each bedroom has a desk for remote working. We also have a fold down/futon sofa on the first floor. If you would like to use for an additional guest please indicate in your reservation.

The Grounds:
The historic barn and outbuildings on the grounds are not accessible.
Guests are welcome to use all outdoor spaces and walk the 5 acre property that overlooks Lake Michigan. The property does not have beach access.
Be sure to enjoy the outdoor fire pit with plenty of firewood provided. You can roast marshmallows, cook hotdogs, or simply enjoy sitting around the fire under the stars.

Pardon our Dust:
We completed the work on the interior in December 2022; however you may notice the rough exterior upon your arrival. We are doing a traditional 3-coat stucco exterior to tie into the historical barn stone. We were 2 coats in this fall and hit an early freeze so we have to hold off finishing until temperatures warm up. We will also be working on the landscape and planting the apple orchard this spring!
