The space
This is a quiet farm setting with wonderful natural beauty. Yes it is a rare and fun 1880 barn mow. Webster's dictionary defines a haymow as, "A mow especially of or for hay storage generally located in the upper aspect of a barn." That is what is clearly described in out listing. The mow has actual real hay on one side of the mow that we store there and then transport to the animals to eat outside in the winter. There is a kitchen, shower, hot and cold water and a flush toilet less than a football field away. There is water and electricity in the barn as well as beds, Wi- FI, table, lamp and chairs. There is a 2 wrung step ladder at one access and a walk in door that a wheelchair can get through at the other door. No birds live in the barn but an occasional sparrow can fly in. However, they never bite. There are no cows in the barn under the mow. However, since we are a working farm that actually produces food for people to eat and jobs for economic development, cattle and goats are on pastures not too far from the barn. Cows do still moo on occasion and bath less frequently that I would like. Nearly all barn mows have a hole in the floor that people use to toss the hay down below to take outside to the animals. We do cover the opening for safety when people stay. We also have an 1918 farmhouse listing on vrbo with less rustic accommodations that may better suite folks that are not interested in the fun and historic experience of staying in the mow of a barn built 15 years after the civil war.

Staying at the Farm Cabin I have been a faculty member for both the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin teaching farm management. I am expanding our business into agri-tourism with my 6 kids and we want to do a good job providing farm and environmental education and fun experiences for people. Come and enjoy!

Property is as listed. It is a fully operational farm so keep that in mind. We went up for a race weekend @ Deer creek speedway. Does offer amenities including washer, dryer, toaster, stove/oven, and refrigerator. Pull out sofa along with some cots. Shower and toilet, it is also equipped with ac/heat. Does have a barn available ( more or less camping ). Would visit again.
