The
three guest rooms at Windmill Farm are nestled upstairs. One room has
a private bath and the other two rooms share a bath. Enjoy the wood burning
fireplace in the common room or get lost in a good book in the library.
The home dates to 1900 and was built in the Dutch style.
Until recently, it had been a true working Wisconsin farm. The barns and
silo remain as well as the windmill and well house. Memories of children
running and playing in the fields and fresh mown hay still remain. One
can imagine the hams and sausages in the upper room of the well house.
Down below ground level in the same building, one would have found vegetables
stored for the winter.
The Inn lends itself well to creativitypainting, writing,
contemplation. Since there is no television, the quietness of the Inn
is perfect for relaxing and rejuvenating one's self.
Your visit includes a full breakfast served in the dining
room, kitchen or on the front porch. Your Inn hosts are Ed Fenendael and
Frank Villigan.

Kansas City Art Institute as a visiting faculty member and teaches several

locally. For the last eight years he has been involved with catering.

Listen to the sound of the windmill.
A peaceful sound. Take in the pastoral vistas and remind yourself where
you are. Quiet, tranquil, beautiful, and nostalgic
this is Windmill
Farm.
