I loved my 5-day 4-night retreat at Paradise Farm. Well named — paradise! An old log cabin, but immaculate, well-maintained, and so cozy. Very quiet and peaceful. As a single older woman I felt very safe there. I read, and wrote, and did some drawing, and walked on the trails, and spent hours sitting in front of the wood burning fireplace, with a nice stack of seasoned firewood right outside the door. Loved the history of the place, and the aesthetics of the charming old log home, with an enormous stone fireplace. Also was treated to a beautiful fluffy snowfall! I certainly hope to return, both for an alone time retreat, and also to bring my grandkids to experience a few days of communing with the chickens and goats. They would love it. Best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in!

I had a lovely winter stay in quiet solitude to do some writing and reading. I had everything I needed in the kitchen, but I did bring my own cookie sheet and cookie dough. I didn’t expect to be so close to the road, but it was still pretty quiet. The cabin was very clean and it felt like I was the only one who had ever stayed there. It’s a short drive to many trailheads for the Kettle-Moraine or to Sunburst Ski area or to get groceries or other needs. I will definitely be back.

We were looking for a place to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The criteria were, wood burning fireplace, kitchen, scenic location but close enough to civilization where we could shop & eat. This place was perfect. The cats & goats, chickens and ducks added a nice touch in a “Green Acres” sorta way. It was a perfect getaway. Paradise farm was indeed like being in paradise. We will definitely be back.

Very peaceful stay in this historic home. The highlight for us was the wood burning stove which made everything so cozy!

What an incredible stay we had! Kathe, the farmhand, was so warm and welcoming and even let us feed the animals with our two-year-old son. It was such a special experience for him. When we weren’t outside exploring the property, we were snuggled up inside enjoying the wood burning fireplace in the spacious living room. The hosts, Mary and Jim, provided tons of great recommendations in the area, but we had the most fun playing games and cooking warm meals in the cabin. It’s clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained. We can’t wait to come back in the spring and meet some of the baby goats and lambs!

Absolutely lovely log cabin with morning farm activities. Kathe is so wonderful bringing us around the farm and introducing us to the farm animals. Mary is a great host and responds promptly. Love the cats, goats, hens, ducks and cozy fireplace!

Awesome historical farmhouse that puts you back in time we had a fantastic stay at this cozy cabin. Got to bring the grandkids next time so they can enjoy all the fun filled things to do on a farm.

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!
