## Overview

The private rustic cabin sits on a beautiful ridge. You will have a great view of the sky. Birds and wildlife watching along with listening to them. 

The property is a second farm that has been in my family's history since the 1960's. We are a working crop, horses and beef cattle farm. We raise crops on this property. We have a main farm down the road that if you would like to visit, we can try setting that up so you can see the animals if you would like. 

Please note that this is a one room cabin with a queen bed. There is a porta potty outside. The cabin does not have running water or electricity, but an extension cord can be brought and plugged into the outdoor electric outlet. The cord can be ran into the cabin to use the fan, lamp, infrared heater, electric water kettle, coffee pot and electric skillet. In the colder months there is an installed lp heater to use. There is a water hydrant outside for bathing or boiling. The water is non potable. 

 We have direct access to the property for ATV/UTV's for the public road use on the back roads. You can travel from town to town and sight see. 

The property is between two towns and is close to places to see and things to do, driftless area history, wineries, caves, hiking, canoeing, fishing, sightseeing, river, streams and more.

> Really enjoyed our stay at Windy ridge! Was exactly what we needed. Quiet, our own campfire and no loud kids or neighbors to wake us up early. Gorgeous & interesting property. Sherri even rescued us on our way out because our battery died. We hope to rent it again sometime soon!

> What a perfect getaway! Sherri & her husband were so inviting - if you love a personal host look no further! The cabin was literally perfect, cute, warm and cozy. Only minutes from town if you need to pick up essentials, but Sherri’s cabin is stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and absence of city lights. We couldn’t have better things to say!
