Where Families Reconnect — Halfway Between Home and those you love.

Escape the hustle this holiday season. Meet your loved ones in the middle — on our peaceful Driftless-area farm — for a luxury stay that feels like coming home.

✨ A Place to Slow Down, Gather, and Reconnect

Between Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago lies a hidden corner of Wisconsin where time moves a little slower, and the stars shine a little brighter: The Driftless.

Our custom-built home offers the perfect space for your family to meet in the middle — to unwind, bake cookies, craft, or simply sit by the fire and be together.

With sweeping southern views, five bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen, and spacious gathering spaces, it’s more than just a getaway — it’s where new family traditions are born.
