House was immaculate and well equipt.

The house was like new in a very nice location for our dogs. It was so nice to be able to stay in such a beautiful home with our dogs. Kyle communicated promptly and even had some milk bone treats for our pups waiting for us. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a peaceful place to relax. There was no tv and we didn’t miss it one bit.

Lovely Country Getaway

We stayed at Kyle's guest cottage for a couple nights while showing friends around Green Bay (Lambeau, Titletown, etc.) and Pulaski (local fish fry and wonderful bakery!!). The location is great! We enjoyed sitting on the front porch enjoying nature, as well as touring their small farm. The cottage was simple but comfortable and well stocked with everything you need. The hosts are very nice and we enjoyed chatting with them. Highly recommend if you are looking to stay near Green Bay but out of the city.

Beautiful Country Stay

Lovely home and host family. Home is new and very nice. Loved listening to the birds in the woods surrounding the property and sitting on the front porch and watching the sun rise. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kyle Ripley

Host profile image
In 2017 I got married and set out on an adventure to build an off grid farmstead for my family with my own hands just like my great grandparents did. We are still on that journey and would love to share a little piece of heaven with you along the way. Perhaps it will inspire you to start a garden or raise a flock of egg laying chickens. We hold an annual homestead gathering at our 30 acre property teaching families how to move back to the land.

When we travel we prefer to lodge at VRBO Homestead properties which inspired our family to provide that option for you only 23 minutes from Green Bay, WI.

Why they chose this property

Rolling hills and farms across the horizon provide a breathtaking view of sunrise and sunset on top of the Windy Rock Ranch.

This retreat will slowly bring you back in time to the 1920s with the Vermont Casting Wood Stove serving as the main attraction in the living room. Although we don't allow fires during your stay the cast iron freestanding wood stove sets a relaxing mood surrounded by natural stone. Our newest addition, a replica 1921 rotary wall phone offers our guests an opportunity to dial loved ones and experience life before cell phones. The book, "Growing Up on the Farm", which was written by my late grandfather Norb, is resting on the coffee table for those interested in taking a journey back to life on a farm during the Great Depression.

Distance to:
Sunset Acres Wedding Barn: 13 minutes
USAIR Motorsports Raceway: 18 minutes
Green Bay Packers Stadium: 27 minutes
