Susan has an amazing experience for anyone looking for a relaxing vacation. Her farmhouse is full of history and personal touches that will make every day a delight. Farmland, cornfields, and wildlife abound, giving all the peace and quiet anyone could ask for with the convenience of town 10 minutes away. Highly recommend Blooming Pickets for a wonderful stay!

Hosting John, Sandy and their family was an absolute pleasure!!! They were exceptional guests and were very respectful. I hope that someday they will be able to come back again. They are A guests!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Farmhouse. Filled with the memories and items from early years on the farm, it was a step back in history and yet was very clean and relaxing for us. Beds were comfortable and quiet for sleeping. Susan was quick to respond and accommodating for our check in. Enjoyed our time in Monroe, plenty of places to eat and shop. Looking forward to coming back next year for our ladies get together!

Wonderful group of ladies! Would love to have them back again; it was a pleasure hosting them!
Super relaxing place in the country to get away! Monroe is a really cute town and it's also very close to New Glarus. It made a great base for our family's outing to beautiful Wisconsin. Susan and her family have a really wonderful place and have put tons of effort into their families farmhouse.

Susan was great and accommodating. The farm house was clean and peaceful. Plenty of room for our family to run around outside and relax inside. Linen was clean and comfortable. We would recommend and stay again!
Loved the renovated 100+ year old farm house! Beautiful and peaceful setting. Susan has put her heart into the house she grew up in! We loved all the old photos of farm life, and the barn tour. We would definitely stay there again!
A beautiful, quiet, country home with all the comforts of home. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the lovely gardens and the well-appointed home. It was nice for all five of us to have our own bedrooms and we had everything we needed to simply enjoy our visit! Highly recommend!

Wonderful, spacious, well-equipped home full of interesting history. We regret we had such little time and are hoping to return soon. Susan was a perfect host, always available for questions.

Thanks Mark! It was a pleasure to talk with your family and share the history of the farm that I grew up on. We are so happy that you appreciated everything and we certainly look forward to seeing you again! Thank you so much for deciding to stay with us! Susan and Tom
We were five writers meeting up for a few days of intensive writing. Susan is a great host, her home is wonderful, and we all made great advancements in our next books! We’ll definitely come back.

It was a pleasure to host all of these ladies! I hope that they all will come back soon. Thanks!
We were looking for a place to get away from it all, and this farmhouse delivered! The home and grounds have been lovingly restored and cared for, so we had a comfortable stay (even when all five of us were there), and we appreciated all the personal touches. Susan and Tom were tremendous hosts, reaching out on a regular basis both before and during the stay to make sure that everything was going well. The location was very quiet and also very convenient to nearby Monroe. I recommend this property highly and hope to return next time we are in the area!

So glad that Seth and his family chose our place to stay. It was a pleasure hosting them and would love for them to come back again! Just awesome guests!
We opted for a VRBO instead of a hotel for a family reunion and we are so glad we did. It was so nice to have our own space and a bedroom for everyone. The house was charming and decorated very on point for a farm house. All the flowers in the yard are beautiful. The host really did think through all the possible needs of people staying there. Having s'mores supplies on hand is genius. Overall it was a great space.
We were looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend getaway and found it here. We explored Monroe and New Glarus and had relaxing mornings and breakfast in our place. Very clean accommodations. Clear that the owner takes pride in the property and grounds. Very accomodating and helpful. We had a good mix of fun and relaxing outside at the farm. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again.
pride in the whole property and grounds.
