This converted dairy barn located near Black Earth is a unique country retreat nestled in the rolling hills of Vermont Township just 20 minutes from Madison (and three hours from Chicago). The barn is located on a wooded 78-acre parcel with hiking trails and scenic lookouts. This large property is available for daily, weekly or monthly rental.

The barn offers comfortable accommodations with six bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it perfect for friends, families or groups looking for a retreat in a beautiful rural setting. In addition to beds that will sleep 17, there are various loft spaces where kids love to bed down with air mattresses or sleeping bags.

There are six bedrooms that include: the butterfly room (double bed); the flower room (a double and two singles); the bird room (a double and two singles); the Japanese room (a king); the portrait room (a double and a single) and the forest room (double). The barn features a large deck perfect for evening cocktails, two woodburning fireplaces, and a three-season sun porch. Striking architectural features include a four-story spiral staircase in the
original silo and a south-facing wall of glass in the great room. The soaring great room, decorated with leather couches and funky antiques, can seat 24 for a sit-down dinner. The well-stocked kitchen features two dishwashers, two sinks, a large island with seating for six, microwave, oven, vintage Chambers stove, and Russell Wright dishware for a crowd. Guests may also grill on the patio. For large groups there is an additional refrigerator in the basement.

Rates depend on size of group, time of year and length of stay. To inquire about availability or rates go to www.vacationrentals.com (and select the state of Wisconsin). Attractive mid-week and off-season price breaks can be arranged as well as special rental rates for non-profits.

SteelWool Studio is located at 6600 Kopp Road just three miles west of Waunakee in a stone and timber frame barn built in 1904. The barn is part of a dairy farm originally homesteaded in the 1890's and hosted a double wedding when it was first built. For the past thirty years the barn has been filled with rough-sawn oak boards harvested from the farm. This lumber was used to finish the interior walls of the studio, transforming our 36' x 60' dairy barn into various work and display spaces, keeping the original floors and beam construction.

One side of the studio houses a 14-foot long-arm quilting machine while the other side is for knitting and sewing. On the lower level, with the original field stone walls, is the painting and dyeing area where classes are taught.

The gallery space in the barn also exhibits an ever-changing array of items including plant hangers, kitchen pot racks, coat racks in walleye, bass, or muskie designs, a line of grape vine motif designs, key racks, stools, chairs, and hand-forged cork screws as well as the current line of garden sculpture that often incorporates local fieldstone from the farm.

They have a great selection of handmade gifts priced under $50. For more information as well as directions to the studio visit: www.steelwoolstudio.com.
