We stayed at the farm as we were visiting West Bend for a wedding. The farm is lovely and my kids loved feeding the goats and chickens. The accommodation is simple but just as described and we thought it was excellent value for money. A really different experience and we only wished we had more time to spend there.

We had a wonderful weekend at Mary’s farm. She was very friendly, responsive and accommodating to our needs. We brought up the kayaks and spent some time at Big Cedar Lake, and biked through West Bend along the Milwaukee River. The animals were all so friendly and fun to be around. Would definitely recommend staying there if you love the outdoors, a great getaway from the city.

Had a great stay at Mary’s place and Kathe was a great host. Really enjoyed making our morning breakfasts with farm fresh eggs. We look forward to staying at Mary’s place again in the near future.

This is a total gem. We found it to be incredibly clean and comfortable. The host was responsive. Kathe was absolutely lovely. We really enjoyed interacting with the animals and she was quite friendly. Overall it was the most wonderful weekend and we have this airbnb to thank! We can’t wait to come back.

Honestly, a little slice of heaven. super quiet at night, beautiful grounds, the barn with goats and sheep and chickens, walking path through the woods, and of course the beautiful historic home. One of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had, and I will certainly be back!

From an adult perspective, the stay was peaceful, the property was really nice to walk around, the cabin was clean and comfortable, and the coffee was easy to find. 😉 I also had two kids with me, ages 9 & 12. They LOVED the animals. The caretaker Kathe was so nice and sweet about showing them around, letting them help feed and water the animals, collect eggs and answering all their many, many questions. All the animals were very people friendly, and many would follow you around for attention and petting. They especially loved the three cats (who stay outside) and played with them every chance they got.

This was a perfect location when my friends and I were in West Bend for a family reunion. We were delighted by this cozy cabin and it was so peaceful and unique. We couldn’t believe how old this house is (1847) so it had lots of charm and it was fun imagining who lived there over the years. We loved the chickens, kittens and goats too. Would definitely stay here again.

We had such a wonderful time! The farmhouse is absolutely charming. Perfectly decorated to enhance the time period but with the comforts of modern living. It is quiet, peaceful and comfortable. Waking up to see hens, cats, sheep and even baby goats! was such a treat. Mary was a wonderful host getting back with questions quickly and cheerfully made accommodations for our late arrival. The caretaker, Kathe, was very friendly, also. Truly a beautiful, totally relaxing place to stay. Also has a supper club nearby.

Paradise Farm was a beautiful and unique setting for our family getaway. Our two boys loved helping with the morning chores feeding the goats, sheep, chickens and cats. The farmhouse is cozy and charming. Mary and Kathe are responsive, helpful, and friendly. We can’t wait to come back!

This is a special place. Rustic and historic but with everything you need to have a completely comfortable experience. The place is immaculate…crisp sheets, pristine towels, and shiny floors. The cottage was cozy and bright, with furnace heating and a wonderful log fireplace stove. The opportunity to engage with the cats, sheep, goats, and chickens was extraordinary. These are the gentlest, most socialized animals you’ll ever meet. The farm hosts a wonderful program for kids and parents so the animals are very used to hands-on love and care from kids. Kathe, the on-site property manager, was patient and kind with our daughter while she helped with morning animal chores, and my daughter is already asking to go back. We’re so grateful that Mary has preserved this piece of paradise and is sharing it with others. There are wonderful memories to be made here!
