Private Runway – Farmstead Escape: Camp Under the Stars in Monroe!

Entire Place Hosted by KatarinaP

About this listing

Welcome! You are about to experience life on an active 4th-generation farm nestled in the rolling hills of Green County. Take as much of a hands-on approach as you like. Meet the cows, feed the pigs, befriend a horse, or just enjoy the relaxing and peaceful serenity of rural Wisconsin farm life. Located less than five miles from Monroe, this home away from home is close enough to all that Monroe & the surrounding community has to offer, but still has room to stretch your legs.

The space

This space is fully licensed by the State of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

There is plenty of room to run around. Go ahead, burn those calories – or stock up on them by roasting s’mores over an open fire underneath a starlit sky. Some of our nights are clear enough to see the Milky Way.

Ready to interact? Schedule a farm tour, complete with the opportunity to meet the cows, share snacks with Prof. Paisley, Chonkey, Porka & Dot, our resident Kunekune pigs (and garbage disposals!), and meet the resident donkeys, ponies, and horses. Speaking of horses…..

Horses have defined the human experience for thousands of years! Learn one-on-one how special and unique these incredible animals are, and the rejuvenating aspects of a horse friendship. We offer horse experiences for kids, teens, and adults for an extra fee. This includes a hands-on experience exploring the basics of horsemanship: We begin with grooming, tacking, and learning about the fundamentals of building a relationship with our equine friends. Each participant will experience the thrill of a one-on-one riding lesson, and will gain the experience and confidence to take the reins for a ride around our arena. All safety gear is provided and photos are welcome! No prior riding experience is necessary.

Come and experience for yourself this integral, yet familiar slice of our local heritage! Hope to see you soon.

Guests can access the entire home, which offers space large enough for families or groups looking for a retreat.

Note: The basement is a completely separate living space that has been converted to an apartment, and the quiet and respectful tenants actually work on our farm! This apartment has its own private entrance and does not share any spaces with your main rental space. Please feel free to ask if you would like more clarification on this.

Other things to note

As this is a working farm with live animals, guests are encouraged to practice good hand-washing after any interaction with animals.

We have a portable bathroom on the farm for you to use.
