The spaces
The tour, before the tour
Five spaces on 96 acres, all inside a four-minute walk on the lit creek path. Here is each one with its real numbers, so the visit can be about how it feels rather than what it holds.
The centrepiece
The barn
On our twenty 8-ft oak farm tables and 150 crossback chairs.
With the doors open onto the terrace — standing service, the way the 175-guest anniversary supper ran.
Hand-hewn oak frame on a stone foundation, restored over two winters back to the timber.
The annex kitchen
A genuine prep kitchen: commercial fridge, warming ovens, stainless benches, a wash-up line. Built so a caterer can serve 150 without a tent kitchen.
Light and power
Permanent string lighting, and band and caterer power on the farm feed. The barn is unheated timber frame — gorgeous in June, honest in October.
Step-free
The barn, its event restrooms and the terrace are step-free on compacted gravel. It is also the severe-weather shelter — everyone can reach it in under five minutes.
Vows
The ceremony hill
Seated
150
Chairs face west down the valley — where the light goes in the evening, and why photographers ask about the hill first.
Getting there
Two routes
The direct path, or a mowed accessible route that adds about four minutes and loses nothing.
Sound
Ceremony only
Amplification on the hill is vows and a processional — the playlists wait for the barn.
The big field
The meadow
Sessions nights
350 standing
Our portable covered stage sets at the north edge with the ridge as the backdrop. The Meadow Sessions.
Marquee weddings
Above 120
Bigger than the barn seats? The meadow takes a marquee — talked through at contract, not improvised on the morning.
Wedding weekends
Tent meadow
The upper meadow takes a dozen guest tents when the cabins fill. The whole sleep story.
The south edge
The creek
Sorrel Creek runs the farm’s whole south edge — about half a mile of it. Two fire rings sit on the bank and we light them most event nights; the willow-bend swimming hole is waist deep on gravel, ten minutes’ walk on the creek path, and the reason kids need an adult at the water.
Trout live in it. Guests who fish need a Wisconsin inland license, which we do not sell — Driftless Angler in Viroqua does.
The quiet room
The farmhouse parlor
Getting ready
Morning light, long mirrors, a steamer, a kettle, and a door between you and the setup. Inside the farmhouse, thirty seconds from the good coffee pot.
On Sessions nights
The same room works as the green room — private restroom, a couch, and a door that closes. One space, two jobs, never on the same night.

The valley does most of the talking
Tours run most weekday evenings and Saturday mornings — the same hour the light is best, which is not a coincidence.
