About the host
Hosted by A Depot Chalet
Ross and Theresa Halverson, owners. The two are crazy for unique properties. They renovated several and in fact have just finished (well almost) renovating an old 1856 flour mill into their home and it has been featured in a well known magazine Country Living Magazine Jan/Feb issue 2017. Theresa is an interior decorator and an oil painting artist , Ross is supposed to be retired but Theresa keeps him busy! He enjoys old cars and creating pieces of art from old found things. Theresa has lived in this area all her life while Ross moved to this area 40 years ago from a few hours away. There next adventure? They are talking about renovating an old small greenhouse and blacksmith shop into another unique vacation rental property. These two are always dreaming! Their motto “ If it isn’t old and unique we don’t want it”.
Why they chose this property
We fell head over heals for this unique old late 1800s railroad depot and when it came up for sale, well, we could not resist!
What makes this property unique
This depot sits right next to a beautiful, scenic bike trail which used to be the railroad tracks. Great biking and hiking! Just a little over a mile away in town is a boat landing on the Wisconsin River.
