My family settled on this plot of land at the turn of the century, moving west in a covered wagon. And aside from a brief time in the late 80's it has been in our family ever since. For most of the 20th century the property was a small farm, grazing cattle and mowed for bailing hay. We are trying to rejuvenate the property and breathing some new life into this old plot of land.
Learn more about this land:
The Hill, aptly named, is a hilltop that slopes down to a large pond that divides the twenty acre property in two. With plenty of room to stretch your legs you can enjoy a nature walk. In the evening enjoy the night sky around one of several fire rings, while roasting marshmallows. Easy access and only a quarter mile from the main road.

Located on 65+ acres of private prairie, this property offers over three miles of walking trails with numerous spots for reading, napping, stargazing, and meditating in complete privacy. It’s ideal for those seeking time away from society, undisturbed. Unplug your devices and reconnect with what matters most.
During your stay, you’ll have exclusive access to 65 acres of native prairie and three miles of walking trails. The surrounding land is used for low-intensity grazing and hay production.
If you have mountain bikes or fat-tire e-bikes, they can be used on the trails. You can also explore countless miles of nearby gravel country roads.
The last 2.5 miles of the drive are on gravel roads. A half-mile two-track across the prairie leads to the camper. In dry conditions, it’s accessible by most vehicles except low-clearance sports cars. If that’s all you have—or in extremely wet conditions—the host can provide transportation for the final half mile up the hill.
Campfires are permitted except when conditions are too dry or windy.

The Couple's Cabin is a part of the rustic Cabins of Lakeview by Sue Barn Venue. With its own lake-view porch too, it holds a maximum of 3 guests (including the ladder-accessible loft for one). When not being rented along with a wedding/event, it is offered here for a quiet stay. All the kitchen accessories you may need, comfy bedding, and plush towels, for the full bathroom with shower, have been provided. The little lake is steps from your front door where you can enjoy a little fishing too.
The space
Along with a well-appointed inside, we have chairs on the front porch for lake viewing and a grill for outdoor cooking too. There is also the Rustic Duck, a wonderful restaurant and art gallery, just a short walk away. Enjoy our little lake! This peaceful countryside cabin has a nice little lake just right for fishing just steps from the front door from which folks have caught catfish, bluegill, crappie, and bass. The Appleton City Lake does not allow swimming. It does not allow boats with motors. However, you could bring a kayak if you wanted. We have a community fire pit and picnic tables too. The grill is electric with pellets. We provide firewood for the pit and pellets for the grill.
Guest access
We are a little over one mile down a level gravel road and just 3.5 miles total from the small town of Appleton City where we have a little restaurant, Caseys, a very nice little grocery store (closes 7 pm), coffee house (mon-sat 8 am-11 am), and Dollar General (closes 9 pm). I live nearby on the property and am available to greet you when you arrive.
Other things to note
Appleton City is a small town. If you are coming in late, you may want to stop on the way to pick up food. We have a few stores in town, but some folks are caught off guard to find out the stores close early. But Caseys has sandwiches and assorted quick items and is open until 11 pm.

Amazing space very secluded. The cabin could sleep 4 as is. I would suggest bringing a twin size air mattress for the ancient futon. Cabin was somewhat clean, still better than a tent. Honestly well worth a visit.

Weekend Trip to Annie's HIDEOUT Musicians Camp
Annie was extremely kind. Very easy to navigate and we enjoyed our time there. Unfortunately the shower did not work but she was very hospitable, she stocked us with a pack of water bottles (we also brought our own water) and otherwise enjoyable time. Easy to bring friends there and good for a group setting to hang out. We were careful of poison ivy on property but easy enough to stay away from and if someone is looking to get away for the weekend definitely a good place to go!
