The Little Sugar River Farm is a lovely vacation rental on an organic farm 2.5 hours from Chicago. Close to the Sugar River Bike Trail, the award-winning house is surrounded by a wildlife preserve.
The house, which received an Honor Award in 2000 from the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, is elegant yet simple. Set at the edge of a wildlife preserve with lovely views, the design is reminiscent of early 20th century farm buildings. Interior flooring, cabinets, and furniture were custom built of cherry and oak harvested from the wood lot. Within the main room of the house, three walls of windows flood the interior with light. French doors open to a large back porch facing the sunset.
Two greenhouses and several gardens offer abundant possibilities for home-cooked meals during the growing season.
Guests are welcome to help themselves to the bounty of the fields and greenhouses during their stay, and are free to take flowers and produce home with them.
In the summer, hiking, birding, cooking, eating home-grown fruits and vegetables, picking flowers from the gardens, kayaking on local rivers, and cycling on the bike trail are some of the best ways to spend one's time here. We have bikes available for guest use. Winter stays offer the possibility of ice skating, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or simply relaxing by the wood stove with a good book.
