The campsite was well kept. The hosts were pleasant. However, the campsite is located above a county road that has some traffic on it. So there is some noise.

Amazing hosts with an even better property. It was so cozy and peaceful, giving that “in the woods” feel without being too remote. Couldn’t recommend more!

Bee Relaxed Studio
A wonderful place to unwind and connect with nature. I enjoyed looking through the reading material and listening to some of the vinyl records. My kids had a nice time petting all the sweet animals. The studio had plenty of space for the 4 of us. Keep in mind that many of the businesses in the small surrounding communities are not open midweek if that is of interest. Would stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay and would love to return. Their land is gorgeous and extremely well maintained. Patty and Michelle were lovely and helpful hosts.
Also, my girlfriend says that they have the cleanest Porto she has ever seen. 😂

Patrick and I really enjoyed our time at Shady Rest Acres, a beautiful and well cared for nook of field and forest. The hosts were very friendly and we were happy we followed up on the advice they gave us regarding hiking and food in the local area. Their animals were also very friendly and caused us to laugh many times with their antics but did not disturb us. At night the stars were visible when clear, and owls called back and forth. The sunrise over the Mississippi or behind the bluffs is gorgeous if you are up to witness it. A unique experience we had on their land was canoeing into the old beer cellar, which is actually a cave. We would highly recommend this Hipcamp! Thank you Patty and Michelle!

Bee Relaxed Studio
This was our 4th stay here and it has become a beloved family tradition. We love the space, the animals, and of course the wonderful hosts. Thanks again Patty and Michelle and hopefully we'll see you again next year!

Nice quiet, tucked in campsite up a bit above the valley. I saw the highland cows on the listing and they did not disappoint. Patty was super friendly in greeting me and making me feel welcome when I arrived. I was on a 5 day cycling trip passing through the area and Patty gave me great ideas for good and coffee on down the road. Great spot, great host.

I enjoyed staying at Patty and Michelle’s site. Great location, nestled on a flat spot in the trees with the beautiful hills on both sides and sound of water below. Would certainly stay again.

Very accommodating hosts in an entertaining environment. Heart’s Content was a nice site with privacy. The fire ring, available fire wood and Adirondack chairs made for a nice stay.

We had a wonderful time camping at Heart’s Content! Patty and Michelle are great hosts, kind and responsive with a great set up for guests. We loved having all the animals around! The view from the site in the morning is a beautiful way to start the day.

Went here a few summers ago (must have forgotten to upload a review). We loved it here. Patty and Michelle helped us set up a tarp, as there was weather coming in. The trout pond was amazing -- I could have sat there all day! It was fun to roam around on the property. We felt safe, respected, and in love with the natural area. Would love to return sometime in the future. Thank you Patty and Michelle!

Patty and Michelle and their property were more than wonderful than we could have ever imagined! The land is lush and rolling tucked into the valley and has so much incredible history. They have miniature donkeys, chickens, goats, cows, dogs galore, and cats roaming the property, so you’re sure to be greeted by lots of furry faces upon your arrival and while you walk the property. The view of the stars above the pasture at night is a marvelous sight! Patty and Michelle were incredibly kind and accommodating during our stay, we would 100% stay here again and plan to! It was truly a dream getaway 🫶🏻

A perfect getaway from the city. We wanted a couple nights around a little nature and this was the perfect setting.
Patty and Michelle are very accommodating and generous with sharing their land and animals. They gave us lots of food recommendations for my friend’s special dietary needs and a really great opportunity to meet all of their animals.
The studio is huge and has everything you need to unwind. I loved the little record player, it helped add to the atmosphere for our afternoon reading. I hope to come back and enjoy the land during a white winter and to use that beautiful fireplace!

Bee Relaxed Studio
The studio was perfect for the three of us. We made the most of all the beautiful land and well-cared for animals. Patty and Michell are true stewards of the land. It’s just a quick drive to LaCrosse, but the real draw is the sunset over the cow pasture.

Amazing campsite & such friendly hosts! The site was private and very peaceful. Firewood is for purchase (and it’s great wood that actually burns!) and the portapotty was very clean. Patty & michelle made me feel very welcome and it’s obvious they take pride in hosting on their beautiful plot of land. I really can’t say enough good things. I will definitely be back and would recommend this Hipcamp to anyone. Their land is magical-don’t miss out!

Patty & Michelle's land was absolutely beautiful and easy to find. It was a nice surprise to see that there was a duck and several donkeys on the premises. Our campsite felt private and secluded from the others on the property which was exactly what we were looking for. I would absolutely recommend staying here!

Bee Relaxed Studio
It was super easy to stay here with our two kids. A beautiful space for us to sleep in, very clean, and a really fun hobby farm to enjoy.

It was just to perfect and charming. It was wonderful to have family time away from technology and just be outside. The hosts are amazing and I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get away from the world and be at peace in the hills in nature. The bond firepit is amazing and the studio has so many charms that are just out of this world. We loved the record player and did some dancing with the kids. Theres everything from books, to record to family games all to bring family together or just cozy up with your significant other. We hope to visit again.

We were very pleased with our 2-night stay at “Bee Relaxed” cabin!! We were in town for our niece’s high school graduation party and it was nice to have our own space to relax, sleep & get ready leisurely for our adventures & family time. It was very clean, had just what we needed and fun to be able to play cards and make coffee. Quiet & beautiful location, fun to look out the windows at the farm, nature, hearing the roosters & watching the chickens, goats, cats & dogs from a distance. Would love to check out the rest of the farm next time, timing & weather didn’t allow, all the more reason to stay again sometime! Thank you for your hospitality & accommodations! We would recommend and would definitely stay again! Great location, close to our local family!

We went for a girls weekend and had the absolute best time! Patty and Michelle were so welcoming and kind. The cabin was clean and we loved the space and decor. The property was beautiful we loved waking up and walking in the pasture saying good morning to all the farm animals! We had such a good time we want to make it a annual trip. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and land with us!!!
