Hi! I live just outside of the beautiful city of Madison, Wisconsin, on a small farm. I love the peace and quiet but also love being able to travel quickly and easily to Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago for enjoying big city events. I have a variety of critters typically found on a 1880's homestead but with 21st Century perks like indoor plumbing and wifi. My son now lives and works in Washington D.C. after graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison 2017 and my daughter is attending Iowa State University which means I am an empty nester most of the year. I am an avid rider and have 3 horses but during the winter, it's all about that snow, 'bout that snow - yes, skiing! I am a professional alpine ski instructor and racing coach. Most of my summer days run at Nature's pace with me trying to be outside as much as possible in the gardens or with the animals.  Please consider booking a few days here, unplug from the pressure cooker of city life and just breathe, read a book, take a nap and go for a long walk, down a quiet country road without needing to drive for hours and hours to get there. This is my little slice of Heaven. I am friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I can interact with you as much or as little as you like.

Most beautiful, warm, picturesque s
There are not enough words to describe Red Lilh Orchard. It was the cutest, safest, beautifully gorgeous, convenient and a warm place to camp. The orchard is beautiful with corn fields, apples and pears and firld that stretches across the horizon. You wake up to a sound of the horse, the ducks and the chickens and find them all mingling around. The bathrooms are spotless, perfect to use and the host is very warm and hospitable. The access to the house is lit with automatic lighting making moving around convenient. Their dog, hannah is the cutest and our dog befriended her in a minute. She had the best time!! If we could we would have stayed here longer but we were onwards to Montana! Our camp set up was picturesque to say the least. Will definitely come back.

I saw the Milky Way and met a cool dog. If you need any other reason to visit, I’m not sure what it was. I will remind myself next time to be more communicative with hosts. My expectation was that we would have a choice of locations to set up camp but those spots were already in use. We also brought our dogs, and Renee was unaware. Our first meeting was a shaky as a result and caused some anxiety. Overall, Renee has a beautiful property and we are lucky and thankful for the experience.

Fun time down on the farm
What a great place to stay! Renée was welcoming and gracious host. She allowed us to park our small camper next to the barn door where there was electricity and water. There was a full bath in the main house basement just 50 feet away. Other folks were tent camping on the grass areas. She organized a Saturday night bonfire. People from China, India, Texas and Wisconsin all had a fun time getting to know each other and comparing notes. The small farm has chickens, ducks, cats, dog and a horse. Madison was just a half hour away so we attended an event there. Plenty of room to spread out. Way better than being parked in a slot at the crowded state park.

I had a very pleasant stay. Woke up to the sounds of ducks gabbing away every morning. Renee was a kind and gracious host.

Nice night on the farm.
This was a nice place to spend a night in the middle of August. The farm was in full effect with the corn and other crops making a nice backdrop to enjoy the stars. This spot is outside of Madison, but not too far if you are looking to do anything in the area. Access to the bathroom was nice and appreciated, but be aware there is a direct trade between how far "out there" you can get and the walk to the toilet. This can be from camping in a backyard next to the house on one hand to out in a quiet field on the other. The other thing I needed to be reminded was bring any equipment you need - like tables and stuff. There are a couple of chairs, but not much else.
