Water pressure inadequate
The hosts were nice, house cute and location great. The problem we ran into was with water. After we arrived, the host warned us about low water pressure. The water pressure is so low the shower consists of two tiny streams, definitely not enough to get a whole body wet at once. Our last morning, while one of us was showering, water backed up in the toilet. The rest of us went to town to find a bathroom. We won’t return because of what we thought to be inadequate plumbing, annd it’s unfortunate because otherwise, this is a nice place.

Nicely renovated little century old farm house. Cozy, clean, and quiet. The location was perfect for visiting relatives in the Roscoe area. The property is so beautifully kept with lovely views of the bucolic landscape and the owners are a delight. If we are in that area again this will be the first place I look for to stay.

Lacrosse Tournament
We were in town for a lacrosse tournament. Hotels were booked so I searched VRBO and found the guest house at Wind Ridge Herb Farm and I'm so glad I did. By far, the most peaceful and quiet accommodation we have ever had, and the house is spacious. We were able to wander around the farm enjoying the gardens and animals in the fields. Tony and Liz were more than happy to give us a tour of their barns and let us meet the farm animals. They were very accommodating and ensured that we had everything we would need or wanted, including breakfast! We would definitely return to the farm in the future. Loved it!

Peaceful spot
We loved our stay at the farm! The hosts could not have been more welcoming. My daughter loved meeting the animals. The house is cozy and comfortable. It was very hot when we visited but the air conditioning kept up. We loved the location because it was quiet and remote but close enough to be able to go into town for a meal. One thing worth mentioning is that the queen bedroom in the attic was up a steep set of stairs with no banister. It wasn’t an issue for us but it may be for others. We hope to visit again.

Wonderful Country Setting
We had a very relaxing stay. The weather was perfect to sit outside under the lovely trees. Tony showed us around the farm and the kids loved playing in the yard. Short distance to bike trail and Rockford sights. Madison zoo is only an hour away and free. We also took a day trip to beautiful Fontana-on-Geneva Lake, Wisconsin which was 45 minutes from the farm. We enjoyed our stay very much. The Shanks Family

Holiday weekend getaway
We had a little lovely weekend. The house is located on an idealic farm surrounded by beautiful gardens. It was very peaceful and serene. The house was comfortable and met our needs. It was well decorated but not at lot of things we had to worry about our 1.5 year getting into. Great experience.
