Driftless Gem
If your looking at this 5 star review, your probably looking for a getaway to the Driftless area. Well you found it! We have vacationed for many years in the Driftless. This hands down has been the best Driftless experience we have ever had. Karen and Paul’s passion for the land, stewardship of nature, animal welfare, and environmental conservation has left us in awe of our experience here. Of all of the VRBO hosts we have had, and they all have been wonderful. Karen and Paul have been the best of them all. Do stay here, but leave us a time or two for us to come back.

Amazing rural farm and natural woods experience
The house and land are amazing. The woods are filled with native plants and flowers with miles of hiking trails. The house is vintage and comfortable for modern living. The yard is open and has several comfortable seating areas including hammocks and a firepit. The animals are gentle and friendly for kids to interact with. The owners are friendly, helpful, and love their job as hosts! This is our second visit and we will be returning as often as we can!

Amazing experience!
This vintage farmhouse is so great! Every nook and cranny is filled with fascinating vintage items from books to antiques and pictures. The setting is beautiful. There is a bit of everything: rolling hills, sunny grassy spaces, meadows, and even a creek. Our family loved wlkig the trails and interacting with all the friendly animals. There are alpacas, ponies, goats, a donkey, icelandic sheep, cats, and a dog! It was a magical family getaway in a completely peaceful setting. It's truly a complete break from modern life (of course there are modern amenities in the house)! And the owner is friendly, great with kids, and fascinating to talk with. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Family Experience
We enjoyed getting to know the owners and to learn about their way of life. My wife really enjoyed Karen. My kids loved the animals of the farm and being able to interact with so many. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to a return visit in the future.

Retreat
This was my second stay and this time I came by myself to write, reflect and do some craft work. I took lovely walks with two sweet young kitties and enjoyed the meadow. One day I took a chair out to the meadow and sat and wrote for a few hours. Karen and Paul are lovely hosts. Karen took time to give me a spinning lesson and show me around her workshop! This is a special place and we will return when we can!

Fourth stay
Karen and Paul are the best hosts and truly genuine people who make our stay with them feel like we’re family. Only better! Every visit we have brought new guests who grow to love this farmhouse as much as we do. Pretty soon we will run out of room to invite all our friends who want to return and we will need to have a lottery to see who gets the chance to return with us. We look forward to next year’s stay with them!

Schmidt Farm is a true gem!
This was our fourth time at Schmidt Farm and we had a wonderful, restful stay. Karen and Paul are fantastic people and we always learn new things while we are there. Our daughter loves to feed the goats and ponies, play with the bunny, and Karen had even secured two kittens before our stay! Our daughter was in heaven. We also made it to the art festival in Lanesboro and even got to hear Paul's band play. A wonderful time away from our busy lives to recharge and reconnect with nature. Highly recommend!
