The log cabin, from 1847, is charming and well-furnished. It felt so cozy but had tons of room! And it was very well furnished and equipped (kitchen supplies and linens). The adorable farm animals added to the appeal—but no animal noises impinged on our sleep in a comfortable bed. The wood-burning stove was easy to use and romantic—and the cabin has central heating and great hot water, so we stayed toasty. We also appreciated the variety of hot chocolate mixes—a nice treat. Mary’s place was the perfect jumping-off point for our hikes in the Kettle Moraine area. And it was close to town for restaurants—I would recommend The Social Good Brews for delicious coffee/pastry/quiche that also supports the community. Great getaway with excellent hosts. Hope to be back soon!

This is our second stay at Mary’s place and it was just as great as the first, or even better, because we were able to stay longer. The house was clean and so cute and comfortable. I loved just hanging out in the peaceful surroundings and watching the chickens and ducks running around the grounds. Kathe, the caretaker on site, is a lovely woman who is responsive and great with kids as she shares with them the workings of the farm and its various animals. 

Paradise Farm was well worth the price which was very reasonable. Kathe met us at check in and was so friendly and accommodating! We absolutely loved the farm! This is a definite gem of a find, and we all felt so blessed with the gift of staying for the week at such a beautiful place. I would most definitely recommend a stay for however long you are able be there for. You will not be disappointed!

It took us back to the farms we grew up on – simple and comfortable. We have been before, and will visit again. Kitchen had everything that we needed to cook breakfast, and we were happy to spend many hours here between doing things in West Bend and Port Washington. Lots of walking space and visiting the animals is always fun. Toys for kids to play with and a working fireplace insert kept us warm when we needed it. Come and visit the beautiful Kettle Moraine area.

This historic and lovely farmstay was a wonderful find! It is perfectly appointed for guest comfort. The beautiful location and resident animals add to the charm and uniqueness of this home and Kathe, the caretaker of the property and animals, could not be a better host.

The farmstay was truly a lovely place to get away to! We enjoyed the fire and ambiance, and loved looking out the window and seeing the chickens in the morning. The cabin was aesthetically so beautiful and stocked with everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

The cabin was magical. Even on the coldest nights of the year it was warm and cozy. The farm setting is beautiful and the snow made a majestic backdrop. Sitting around the fire was such a memorable experience. Everything was clean and comfortable. Mary made us feel at home. I hope to return in warm weather to enjoy some of the outdoor activities and sights.

What a lovely stay. Exactly as pictured. Very clean. Responsive and flexible hosts. We loved the animals and fresh eggs. The fireplace was perfect. Romantic. Would highly recommend. We hope to be back again! Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Farm! Kathe was so kind & helpful and she was very informative about the animals and the farm itself. The cabin was perfect! Quiet location and very cozy inside, complete with a wood burning stove/fireplace. The cabin is only 5 minutes away from all the amenities West Bend has to offer. It was great to look outside the window and see the chickens, ducks and cats all roaming around. We look forward to staying again!

Our family of three spent two nights at this beautiful farm. Our daughter loved the animals and was so happy she got to help feed them. We enjoyed the beautiful hiking areas nearby. The caretaker and Mary were great hosts, communicated promptly, and were very friendly and welcoming. It’s a great place and we definitely recommend it!
