Great stay at the farm!
This house is just as advertised. A large farm house with plenty of space. We loved the relaxed setting, the quaint farm house and the cows too! The house had everything we needed. It was clean and felt like home. Janis, our host, was helpful and available.

Nice Old Farm House with a Friendly Host
As the listing said, this was a clean, no frills 2 story old farmhouse. The A/C is provided using 1 window unit on each floor, which along with the ceiling fans kept everyone comfortably cool. The upstairs unit was loud in the bedroom where it was placed, so that room wasn't used for sleeping. The water pressure in the shower was very low but did the trick, just plan on spending a bit more time in there! Hostess Janice was very friendly and responsive, and the notebook that tells the history of the house and the people who lived in and around it was a wonderful read for all you history buffs out there. Overall a good experience!

Driftless weekend
What a delight! Janis is a wonderful host, met us at the property and showed us all around. The location is ideal - minutes from the Kickapoo Reserve, and down the road from Viroqua. The house is a lovely old farmhouse with beautiful wood details, comfortable furniture, fully equipped kitchen, and beautiful views.

Great relaxing, quiet stay
Although we only stayed two nights we were very pleased with our Vrbo choice. The property is a 100-year old farmhouse, literally right "on the farm." The house is spacious, super clean and comfortable. Janis is a very pleasant host; communicative and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful and relaxing
We spent the weekend with 4 families (8 adults and 5 young kids) and we all enjoyed every part of it! Janis the owner was so welcoming and so interesting to talk to. You could hear the love and joy that she has for the property in her voice. The views were breathtaking, the cows were fun the watch and the big mature trees provided some comfortable shade as we had a fun ‘water day’ with the kids. The house and sounds of the farm take you back to a simpler, slower time. Even though there are many scenic attractions near by, there was no need for us to wonder too far. We definitely would love to stay again. :)

Picturesque Rural Getaway
This very clean and spacious Bunkhouse was just what I needed after a recent retirement. My mother and I, along with my 2 Yorkshire terriers, had a very relaxing time here. The views in the Driftless region are just beautiful and the roads with all the hills and sharp curves were so much fun to drive. We had fun visiting several of the small communities and the various shops and cheese stores in each one. Janis was a spectacular host and offered tips on places to visit or to eat and made us feel most welcome. She was cordial and very easy to communicate with. I'd highly recommend staying at this Bunkhouse and hope to go back again.

Charming Farm House
Our stay at the Bar W Bunkhouse was wonderful. It's a Great Farm House with lots of charm and an awesome view. The Hosts were very attentive to our needs and everything was extremely clean. Although it was only my husband and myself, we are thinking about a future visit for our family reunion since the 5 bedrooms will work perfectly. We stayed there during the winter but the location is perfect for a summer get away since it's near many summer activities.

Perfect place for the Dam Challenge weekend
It was clean inside- very clean. The place is exactly as described. The outside has beautiful vistas. We enjoyed watching the cattle on this working farm. The location was just right for the Dam challenge. The owners are super nice and Janice checked on us daily to see if we needed anything.
