One word comes to mind, fantastic! A great place to stay! It’s secluded but easy to get to, clean and very well kept.A small group of us stayed a couple nights to do some motorcycle riding in the area and it was perfect! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended this place! Thank you!
This is the 2nd year we stayed here and it is perfect for us. The location is close to our family reunion and works great for bringing our dogs. Only very minor note is all the check out information states loading the dishwasher, but there isnt one. Not a problem for us though.
We had a great time at Heavenly Acres. Communication was great with quick replies. Beds were great. Kitchen needs a bit of work but it served us just fine.

My family and I love to spend long weekends in Wisconsin with our pets, and this was a gorgeous home, well maintained, clean, and very comfortable.
We enjoyed the picturesque backyard with tree lines, and being able to watch wildlife and relax. We truly recommend this vacation home and give it 5 stars!

Thank you for that nice review, we appreciate it! Delighted to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay.
We didn’t stay on the property much because we were there for a track meet but the property was very nice! The home was clean and comfortable and had everything we would need to stay a week. The management was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire trip. Just be aware there isn’t much for cell reception so be ready to get rid of your devices and have fun!

Thank you for that wonderful review! Hope to see you all again soon!
We had a wonderful stay for out yearly family camping trip. We had 10 people (9 adults, 1 child) and there was enough space for everyone. The house is large and spacious. Clean and cute. We enjoyed the fire pit and games. I would recommend anyone to stay at this house!
We also enjoyed eating at the near by schoolhouse restaurant. Food was great and so was the hospitality and the owner too! Definitely recommend to anyone out in the area.

Thank you for that wonderful review! We are delighted to know that you enjoyed your stay and that you loved the place. Looking forward to hosting you and your family again!
We were looking for a quiet getaway in the driftless, large enough to see family—this property delivered. The farmhouse was beautiful, the location remote (yet an easy distance to visit the bike trail). The beds were comfortable and the house was beautiful. We had fun at the fire pit and enjoyed firefly and star watching. We cooked all the meals ‘at home’ during the long weekend and were super impressed by how well stocked the kitchen was, including casserole dishes and containers for leftovers. We are grateful for our time there.

Thank you for that wonderful review! We are glad that you and your family had a lovely time. Looking forward to hosting you and your family again soon!
House was great except for a few details.There were ants in the kitchen. We bought terro and that helped. Parts of the remodel were ok. So dont look for perfection. The tub upstairs drained slowly probably needs to be declogged. Other than that we would stay again if needed a larger space. Spare room across barhroom upstairs needs to go. I laid in it and it sunk in some spots not others. Luckily the couch was comfy to sleep on.
Very nice property and it worked great for you group of 5 couples. About the only thing is when going in the side door, the step inside to go into the kitchen area is much higher than a normal step and very unexpected when carrying something inside the house. Also, it seems the checkout directions were pretty generic. Our house does not have a dishwasher and we could not find the house card for recycling and garbage instructions. But we liked the house very much and may rent again next year if we decide to come back to the same area.

Sparta- Elroy Bike Trail Riders
My family of eight enjoyed staying at this property. There was plenty of room for everyone as it is very spacious.
We were there to bike the Sparta- Elroy trail, so it was a very beautiful 10 to 15 minute drive into Norwalk to get on the trail.
The house was well stocked with most everything we needed and it was clean and cozy.
The things that could be improved on is:
*Add curtains or blinds to at least the bathroom windows. Only the bedroom windows had curtains.
*The kitchen chairs are somewhat wobbly and unstable. They could be upgraded for guest safety.
*When making our morning breakfast, we learned that running the griddle and the microwave at the same time would pop the breakers. Maybe an electrical upgrade might be needed.
It was a very quiet, beautiful area and priced right. It was perfect for our family(adult siblings and partners) get away.
