Welcome to Bonnie Oaks Historic District. I’m Kate, steward of this special place, and my mission is to restore and preserve the property’s natural beauty and historic character so it may continue its story as a gathering place for travelers, musicians, history lovers, artists, and nature enthusiasts. Spanning 72 acres, Bonnie Oaks offers expansive wooded trails, a meadow, access to kayaks on Neenah Creek, opportunities to view wildlife, and a lovingly restored vineyard. Guests are invited to slow down, explore, and immerse themselves in everything the land has to offer while enjoying a quieter, richer way to stay. My family and I live on the grounds in the Main House. I am happy to provide complete privacy for a fully independent stay, or to share property insights and local recommendations if desired. Every guest experience is unique, and it’s my goal to make each stay truly special. My hope is that your time here is peaceful, memorable, and enchanting. Come experience the magic of Bonnie Oaks Historic District.
