| Such a lovely stay. Kathe the caretaker was a wonderful host and went above and beyond in kindness and hospitality. We enjoyed her immensely. She showed my friend and I the grounds and educated us on homestead life and how to care for the animals. We loved it! The cabin is beautiful. It was built in the 1840’s with renovations and appliance updates. The wood burning stove was our favorite part and the kitchen is adorable. Quaint and simple. We had everything we needed and plenty of state parks and forest preserves to venture to. It is located off of a street so from time to time you will hear bikes or vehicles but it didn’t disrupt our sleep or our stay. |

| What a lovely property! It was perfect for a few nights to unplug and connect with nature. Definitely bring your mud boots so you can hang out with the animals as much as possible! I will definitely be back, with friends and with family! |

| We had so much fun and wished we had more time to stay longer. They’ve done a great job restoring this incredible property. The farm animals are friendly and entertaining. Mary was very responsive, accommodating and flexible with our needs. |

This place is a dream! Mary and Kathe were both great with communication and made me feel so welcome and at home! The animals all around, quick drive to get nice hikes, the charm of the absolutely stunning old building itself. Everything made for the most quaint and relaxing time. I couldn’t have timed my trip better, I got to see the sheep give birth to triplets! Such a magical moment. I look forward to coming back 🙂

We had a great time at the farmstay! We loved the space. The cabin is cozy and comfortable, and we felt right at home. Our little was very excited about feeding the animals. Kathe was helpful and informative. The area is pretty with nice parks to visit, and we saw wild turkey, deer, and cranes. Absolutely no complaints. We hope to visit again.

| Paradise Farm is all the name promises. The idyllic, educational working farm and historic lodgings are quaint, charming, and comfortable. We were giddy with our respite. Mary, our caring host, answered any and all questions prior to our trip and caretaker Kathe is so personable and knowledgeable. The cats, chickens, sheep, goats, and solo duck are so gentle to feed and pet. We were able to gather our own eggs – still warm – for breakfast! Though unseasonably cold for late March, we were super cozy and loved the wood-burning fireplace. We cannot wait to return in early June to see the baby animals! A great place to get away from it all and unplug (though there is wifi). The West Bend Area offers hiking, a wildlife zoo, and some great restaurants. Timmer’s Resort is a must for walleye. |

My friend and I had such a lovely time at the farm. Kathe is delightful. She shared stories about the farm and the animals. We had a ton of fun getting to know the cats, sheep, goats, chickens, and Wanda the duck. The cabin is so cute and cozy. Loved having fresh eggs waiting for us in the fridge and everything we needed to build a fire in the wood stove. The beds were comfortable and the setting is beautiful. We definitely hope to come back to this very special spot.

We had an incredible getaway with our two kids at the farm. The place was extremely clean with everything we needed. Kathe was very patient and accommodating with our curious 5 year old during farm chores 🙂 We will be back!

Beautiful place and a lovely way to get away for a weekend for some peace and quiet. All the animals are adorable and we’re obsessed with them. We’ll have to come back when there are baby goats and sheep to play with! The wood-fired stove added a lovely layer of coziness to our already great stay, and Kathe was super communicative and helpful while we were there. Highly recommend!
