About this property

A city loft in a country setting! Beautiful and serene...

The Knapp Creek Guest House is located right on Knapp Creek, in a valley setting with easy access to Knapp Creek, or go two miles down the road to the West Fork of the Kickapoo River, one of the best Class I trout streams in the Driftless Region. The Knapp Creek Guest House is approximately ten years old, with beautiful interior finishes, and includes all the amenities. It sits on scenic Knapp Creek Farm, where guests will see the exotic chickens pecking in the yard, visit the friendly barn cats, Patches and Rusty, or make a pizza in the wood-fired oven in the covered pavilion.There is also a barn where guests may chose to board their horses between taking them to the Kickapoo Reserve, with its 37 miles of trails, or to Wildcat Mountain State Park, with its 15 miles of trails to ride. The barn has a two-section pen and breezeway, as well as an outdoor corral, with a watering tank, and can accommodate up to four horses. Other guests may choose to bicycle the local roads and enjoy the natural scenery that the Driftless Region is becoming well-known for providing. The Knapp Valley Farm is located in a long valley with beautiful views to the east and west, and Knapp Creek running along the length of the property.

Second stay, lovely as the first. Such a beautiful location. Complete with 2 friendly barn cats and one exuberant puppy! Wish the weather had been better for wandering the property. So nice to see the stars.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Starkey

Host profile image
My wife Janie and I recently purchased this property and moved here to live on a farmette in the country. We have lived in this area for most of our adult lives, and wanted to live in the country again, as we both grew up in the country. We also have another vacation rental nearby, making it easier for us to take care of both properties. We both grew about 50 miles from here and know the area very well. We have three adult children, two cats, a dog, and now, several chickens. We're down-to-earth people who enjoy the amenities of a quiet country setting. I'm a semi-retired teacher, and Janie is a purchasing agent for a nearby company. We enjoy visiting nearby antique shops, rummage sales, and flea markets to look for those hidden treasures.

Why they chose this property

Guests will enjoy the quiet beauty of the Knapp Creek Farm and of Knapp Valley. Enjoy the pavilion where you can relax and enjoy an evening beverage of choice. Close to Amish neighbors who travel on Knapp Valley Road regularly, the Knapp Creek Farm also has the facilities to board your horses after riding the trails at nearby Kickapoo Valley Reserve or Wildcat Mountain State Park. Those who prefer the two-wheel experience can bring their bikes and ride the local roads, as many people can attest to each year.

What makes this property unique

Situated in the heart of the Driftless Region of southwestern Wisconsin, this area boasts hills and valleys, creeks and rivers, farmland and woodland, fields and streams, and some of the friendliest, most down-to-earth people in the world. This farm is secluded, quiet, and stunningly beautiful. You can hear the stream from your balcony! Have your morning coffee on your own balcony overlooking the valley setting. See the deer going to the stream for an evening drink. hear the turkeys gobble during season, or walk to the creek and watch the trout feed. Take a chair or blanket and make a picnic of the evening. The possibilities are endless!
