Where it All Started

I grew up on a dairy farm in rural Lafayette County, Wisconsin, and those roots have shaped nearly everything I've done since. For more than 20 years, I've been a proud small-business owner right here in the county, and I'm a passionate supporter of small businesses, rural tourism, and agritourism. Some of the best experiences are found in the places that don't always make the guidebooks.

A Great Stay is a Feeling

For more than six years, I've welcomed guests from near and far to my little corner of Wisconsin. With more than 1,400 five-star reviews as an Airbnb Superhost, I've learned that a great stay is about much more than a beautiful space. It's about how a place makes you feel.

Designed to Slow Down In

My properties are thoughtfully designed and completely custom, blending a warm, eclectic aesthetic with the charm of rural life. They're spaces to settle in, escape the everyday, and make yourself at home. Sometimes that means hanging out with the goats, meeting the mini cows, getting greeted by the cats, or being followed around by my fluffy Great Pyrenees pup.

  • "Ashley I can not thank you enough! Last night was some of the best sleep I've ever gotten!!! Your place is so peaceful, safe and gorgeous, I will happily leave you a perfect 5 star review!!! When my wife and I are traveling through the area again, we will make it a priority to see if we can stay here again!!! Thanks so much. PS. The wood work, the colors, the floor.... everything is outstanding."

My Favorite Corner of the World

My Airbnb properties sit on my family's farmland, and sharing this place is something I truly love. I take just as much pride in pointing guests toward the hidden gems as I do in creating the spaces they stay in, from locally owned shops and restaurants to scenic backroads, farms, and outdoor adventures across Lafayette County and the edge of the Driftless Region.
