About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Rustic, rural, relaxing, family friendly stay! Excellent location 5 min to I74.

Built in 2013, Water's Edge is a secluded, warm, & rustic 2nd story home situated above a horse barn turned epic HIGH BARR Real Estate office with perhaps the best view in the county! Enjoy the sunrise over the pond from the 12'x30' deck, or the animals grazing to the south. The Farm Stay is entertainment central boasting of a large open living room/full kitchen with a wood pellet stove for your enjoyment on those cold winter nights! Not to mention catch&release fishing, corn hole, tetherball, volleyball, building a bonfire, or grilling out! Ask about our homegrown ground beef!

The space
All of the recreational amenities are visible from the house and furnished deck. You may find the sporting equipment and chairs for the fire pit conveniently located in the storage room on the main level just past the steps leading to the apartment. Firewood is stacked near the burn pit for your convenience.

The living area, and each bedroom are individually climate controlled for your comfort.

Guest access
Waters Edge Racing Stables boast of the 2 Bedroom home above the former stables. Incredible views in all directions including the 1.5 acre stocked pond. Two flights of steps lead you to the entry door with a lit key pad for your convenience. Please park on the dedicated gravel drive directly in front of the steps leading to the apartment. Do not park on or block the driveway leading to the back of the barn or behind the barn.

Guest Interaction
My personal residence is located on the same 20 acre property so it is very likely you may see me, but if not, I will always be available by phone or text.

Horse farm

This is an amazing place. It's secluded and quiet. It's still close to shopping and a casino. Excellently priced for all the accommodations and amenities you receive. Hats off to the host.

Overall everything was nice. Only wish would be for more swing/rocker seating on the beautiful balcony. Would have liked to have swing or movable rockers facing the wonderful Eastern view.

Quick Stop

Beatiful location. We stopped on our way South from Western WI to TN & this was far more peaceful, comfortable, & refreshing way to spend our night rather than a typical hotel. Couldn't have had a more beatiful setting to wake up and sip coffee on the East facing deck! Was a great place to rest for a night, and would be a beautiful place to spend a few days if you had something going on in the nearby area.

Relaxing getaway

We loved that the living spaces were all on one level so we could hear the kids in their bedroom if anything was needed. Decor simple and tasteful. Peaceful surroundings, saw many types of birds, good view of sky/clouds out the side/kitchen windows for sunset. There is a gate at top of stairs so kids can play on porch, which is nice as well. Close to the freeway, but didn't hear freeway noise inside the home. We had a great time!

Relaxing Snowy Scenic Stay

We had a 3 hour drive through a snow storm but were very happy to get to Waters Edge and take a minute to breathe. It was a beautiful snowy scene looking out over the pond and seeing the horse buck & gallop about. Beds were incredibly comfy & sheets were very soft! Home was clean and welcoming. Easy entry instructions. We really enjoyed our quick stay and would definitely love to stay here in the summer months. Thank you for the simple touches of snack bars, water & pop in the fridge. Floors are pretty creaky and loud throughout the home but that didnt bother us.

perfect for what we needed

This was a great place for an overnight on our trip. We stayed 2 nights, one coming and one going home. The access is pretty easy off of the interstate. It is small and simple but beautifully set up. You walk into a large front room with couch and tv on one side, kitchen with high top table on other side. If you walk straight through this area there is the bathroom with a bedroom to the right and left. Everything is clean and set up beautifully. There is a split for ac in the main room and each bedroom. This is great as you can each set it to your own comfort level, but the downside is they are a little noisy and right above your head. Kitchen has a full sized refrigerator, electric stove, no dishwasher. We cooked one night. Had all we needed to do a very simple meal. Everything on shelves and in drawers was neat and laid out for ease of finding things. Just the basic needs are there. They have drinks (soda and water) available in the fridge. The downside was the traffic noise. You can see the interstate even though it is a ways away- there is nothing in between to block the noise. We did not spend much time outside because of the noise. Inside one bedroom you could here the interstate. I was in the other bedroom and with my white noise machine I travel with I did not hear the interstate or the ac. Beds are very comfortable. There are stairs that you have to climb to bring your suitcases up. She does not send the code of door until 3 on the day of arrival so make sure you have access to the vrbo site.
