About this property

Private Farmhouse - Enjoy 36 Acres to Relax, Unwind & Enjoy the outdoors.

MEMORIES MADE AND STORIES TOLD, SINCE 1876.

Welcome to Smith Family Farm! Our fifth-generation owners converted the historic family farmhouse into a charming and functional Minnesota vacation house rental. With sleeping arrangements for 10 guests, modern amenities, and 36 acres of private land, our property offers everything you need for a peaceful getaway or small event.



From the full-scale kitchen with appliances to air conditioning and spacious interiors, our on-site amenities ensure you and your guests get the most out of your relaxing getaway or small event.

Located just a short distance from Interstate 90, our property provides the tranquility of nature with the proximity to several towns and major cities. Feel free to contact us for any recommendations!

Originally built in 1876, the 2,250-square-foot house has two stories, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The first floor has 1,200 square feet of space, as well as a full bathroom with a soaking tub that has a hand-shower wand. There is no stand-up shower in this bathroom.

The second floor has 800 sq. feet of space and a full bathroom with a standing shower tub. Additionally, there are 250 sq. feet of space in the basement, which allows for a nice little space to play or set up games.

Two of the bedrooms have queen-sized beds, each of which is large enough to accommodate two adults. In the third bedroom, there are four extra-large twin-sized beds, each of which is big enough for adults. Additionally, the sunroom has a queen-size Murphy bed, which allows you to host up to 10 people, preferably a mixture of kids and adults.

The newly renovated house has all the amenities you could need and is the perfect place to hold a small gathering or event or simply get away for a weekend.

We have a 7-hole disc golf course, putting green, and many other outdoor games available such as corn-hole and bocce ball.

Renovated Farmhouse
We enjoyed our stay at this completely renovated farmhouse. The owners put a ton of work into modernizing the house into a fully functional house with all the amenities while keeping the charm of the original home. The highlight has to be outside. The adjacent gazebo and fire pit are awesome. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a rural getaway or family gathering.

Nice getaway on farm
It is a nicely renovated family farmhouse, immaculate and comfortable. Great beds & linens, well-stocked kitchen, and land to explore. The house is close enough to the river, Winona, & LaCrosse for outings; far enough away to feel remote. Recommend!

Beautiful Modern Farmhouse
This property was nothing short of amazing! We spent most of our time in the kitchen, as I booked this house for an intimate Thanksgiving with my partner’s family. It was snowing, so we weren’t able to explore the outdoor aspects too much, but there is a closet in the basement with outdoor activity supplies such as baseball mitts and balls, beanbag toss, and quality frisbees for the course. The kitchen was the perfect space to cook a Thanksgiving feast, and the dining room area sat us all comfortably. The soaking tub was sooooo nice, and the hosts were thoughtful enough to provide candles and a few bath bombs for our stay! Overall, this property is a 15/10, and I cannot say enough good things about it. You do need to take a gravel road to access the house, but the road is maintained very well and handles well without AWD even in fresh snow.

Family Time at the Farm
This property is so comfortable. We loved the huge firepit and enjoyed one night of a beautiful evening by the fire and stargazing at the Milky Way. Sadly, the rest of the week was rainy and cold but at least we got in one good one! The house is very spacious allowing plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and relax! The huge kitchen was delightful for cooking and very well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils and even a few food items! We loved every minute of our stay!

Great getaway
Great little house with lots of outdoor activities and areas to chill. Our only complaint was the bedding & towels were very perfumed (dry sheets we suspected) which irritated our family members with scent sensitivities.

Going back in time with all modern amenities.
This was our first visit to Minnesota/Wisconsin and the Farmhouse was the perfect jumping off point for our father/son fishing trip on the Upper Mississippi. The house had all the charm of an old farm house but updated with top of the line amenities. It exceeded all expectations! The only thing missing was a good pair of binoculars to see all the local wildlife from the front porch…bald eagles, deer, turkey, black squirrels,…

Beautiful home!
We had a wonderful stay at the Smith home. Corey had everything we could have needed to make us feel at home. The disk golf course, putting green, cornhole boards and bocci ball set were an extra bonus that provided plenty of activities for us.

Beautiful farmhouse and property
We enjoyed 5 nights at the Smith Farm and loved it. The house is really nicely decorated and there is everything you need to be able to cook family meals. The sunrise and sunset views both are lovely! the disc golf course is great and the dogs loved the ability to run the property. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels, etc, as well. thank you for such a lovely property! This is close to our daughter's school, so we will be back!
