About this property

Private straw clay sauna house on organic farm

Get away from life's stressors by indulging in your own private sauna suite. King-size bed, rudimentary kitchen, bathroom, japanese soaking tub (for cold soak), AND a wood-fired sauna, you're sure to find relaxation. Without tech distractions you'll enjoy your stay with board games, reading, napping, strolling the property of our organic farm. 10 mins from Mount Horeb w/ cute, local shops and restaurants as well as several state/county parks. Perfect blend of rural escape + nearby conveniences!
The space
A cozy, private sauna suite with king-size bed, dining area, kichenette, half bath, Japanese soaking tub, and wood-fired SAUNA. The Japanese soaking tub is a little challenging to get into and out of with fairly steep steps, so please use the hand rails and use caution! *please note the tub is for a cold soak not a hot soak

This straw-clay "cabin" is sort of set up like a studio with an open floor plan. It's ideal for couples looking to get away and stoke the fire of their relationship, but if three close freinds want an affordable escape, there is plenty of room!

We recently bought this farm (November 2021) and this building was already here. It was originally built for a prior owner to practice her massage therapy business out of. It is timber frame construction with straw-clay insulation and natural material walls. It was built to be environmentally-friendly!

This is a "rustic" stay. There is no air conditioning, wifi is hit or miss out here, it does not have a full kitchen or full "traditional" bathroom (but does have all the features of a full bathroom). It's also extremely charming and cozy. We welcome you to use the wood-fired sauna and soaking tub to relax. *Please read the woodstove manual before operating and starting a fire!*

We have one middle-aged friendly, free-roaming dog and one dog-like cat.
Guest access
When guests arrive, they can pull up near our house (red siding with white trim) to unload anything they need out of their car. This is the closest walk from parking spot to sauna house. They will follow a small foot path next to our house, around the side of the sauna house to the front step.

Once they finish unloading, they can park their car by our big barn. To get there, they will loop around our driveway and take a hard right to follow the access road to the barn. The parking spot is off the the right, just to the north of the barn. A wooden fence marks the spot.

Guests will walk the grassy path through some pine trees back to the sauna house.
Other things to note
We run a small, organic farm. Depending on what time of year you visit, we will have our fields in production growing an assortment of produce, chickens for meat and eggs, pigs helping us work our fields, and cows helping us mow. Guests are welcome to walk our property (it is fenced all the way around) and look at our fields. Animals will mostly be fenced with electricity, so keep your hands to yourselves! If you bring a dog, please keep them leashed at all times.

If you have any interest in jumping in and seeing what a day on the farm is like, we would be happy to accommodate you as best we can. Please send us a message including this detail!

Cozy Nights & Tranquil Days
The house is lovely, exactly as described in the listing. Close enough to Blue Mound State Park to go enjoy a peaceful hike, and close enough to town where I could go get a beer and cheese curds. The bed is huge and very comfortable. I spent most of my time reading and just enjoying the calm of sitting on the porch. Also had delicious dinner with some added fresh veggies & herbs from the farm (thank you again!) I hope to stay here another time.

Lovely, quiet, close enough to stuff to do but far enough to get some peace.
Loved everything about the property and the surrounding areas. With minimal effort could get to Mt. Horeb, Madison, and Middleton and had plenty to do when I didn't just feel like relaxing in the cabin.

Enchanting Gem!
I absolutely LOVED this rustic, secluded home! We spent evenings outside listening to the cicadas, crickets and frogs. With no TV or electronics, we simply enjoyed serenity and connection with nature and its creatures. I will absolutely stay here again.

Peaceful and beautiful place to stay
A wonderful place to stay. A little too far - for us - from APT which is why we were in WI. Very responsive host and very clean cabin

Very unique property. Quiet and restful, great sleeping bed and easy going. Reason I could not five star the stay is because: - upon arrival there was a dirty diaper in the bathroom and when you are paying a $30 (I think) cleaning fee that just seems very wrong, and - It was a very hot day, and as there is no AC in the unit, a small fan would make it more pleasant on a hot summer day. Maybe would not do a repeat summer stay but winter looks promising.

We arrived just after sunset and were greeted by a beautiful field of fireflies. The sauna house is incredibly charming and comfortable. It is located on an organic farm in a private area with walking paths around. We contacted the owners ahead of time to request fresh vegetables so we could make a stir fry while we were there. They were very accommodating, accepted Venmo for the request, and we had a lovely dinner and extra for our travels. The bed was comfortable and the sauna was a special treat. I would have loved to stay longer and can't wait to go back.

What an amazing little property! The cabin is cozy, cute, and after staying in one with a wood-fire stove sauna and soaking tub I don't want to stay in a place that does NOT have those amenities. Beautiful countryside and short drives to towns, hiking, and other interests in area.
