150 Year Old Home Situated in the Picturesque Rolling Hills of Southwest WI

Cold Spring Farm’s 150-year-old home has 20 rooms, 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths (and 1 half bath), a modern kitchen, convenient laundry room, a relaxing deck, and campfire area. The farmhouse is situated in the scenic hills of Bear Valley on 50 acres with frontage along Bear Creek. It’s the perfect getaway for those wishing to experience country living at its fullest. This historic home is 1 of 6 possible birth places of Frank Lloyd Wright. Frank Lloyd Wright's father, William Wright, often visited the home, played the piano (which is still in the home), and helped entertain guests from around the world who visited the farm. Considered 1 of the 7 mansions of Bear Valley, this creamy brick home boasts lots of character and charm.

Outside, the property features a large campfire area with plenty of seating, a professional sized corn hole game, giant Jenga blocks, horseshoe pits, a walking trail, with a spot to sit next to Bear Creek. There are several grills, a huge deck with patio furniture, and a bar with seating in the covered shed. The shed is decorated as a saloon and is approximately 30 feet x 50 feet, and here is the link to view the video https://youtu.be/fOf05TbHL08. There is a 75" big screen TV in the living room of the house.

Located between Spring Green and Richland Center, Cold Spring Farm is close to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin, A.D. German Warehouse, American Players Theater, House on the Rock, bike paths, hiking trails, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and tubing on the Wisconsin River, and so much more. There are several beautiful state parks within 45 minutes of the farm. There are well known wineries in southwest WI, as well as Oak Wood Fruit Farm, and two locations for Peck's Farm Market.

Beautiful Home and Fantastic Place to Stay!
I rented this house recently with a group of 9 girls. When we arrived our group was over-the-moon with the location, quality, and personality of the home! Just touring the home when we first arrived was an adventure itself. With its multitude of rooms, games, and amenities we were fully prepared for a fantastic weekend! The owners were also very helpful and easy to contact with any questions we had! 100/10 would recommend this house as your next place to stay!

Amazing home, great location!
We had a phenomenal stay for my mother's 70th birthday. The kids had a ball exploring the house and the grounds when it was sunny, and playing games together indoors when it was cold and rainy. We luckily had clear skies one night for spectacular star-gazing. The whole family asked when we can come back!

Fabulous country home
A group of us - mostly architects - meets annually to go to a play at American Players Theatre. Our group loved this home. It was beautifully decorated and had so much space, inside and out. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks so much.

There was more than adequate room for the 7 of us! Comfortable beds, enough bedrooms and the dinning room table stretched fit our needs. The outdoor entertainment shed was very interesting, we enjoyed the corn hole game! A note for the managers- we saw ants in the kitchen sink & saw a ground hog running from under the deck.

This was our second stay here. The property is perfect for our group of 10 who gather each year around this time to attend American Players’ Theater. The location is beautiful and the many staircases make for interesting exploring in this historic old house. Communication with owners is great!

House on the rock trip
We stayed at cold Spring farm as a launching point to go visit house on the rock. Everybody in our group really enjoyed staying in the old house with all the antiques and it was fun to see and reminisce about how things were used. We also really enjoyed spending time outdoors in the barn/bar area. I would recommend this property to anyone that has a larger group as there are many rooms and sleeping accommodations.

Good Time
Family gathering to celebrate the passage of 94 year old aunt to eternal life. In spite of the partly solemn event the gathering of family and sharing of food and stories over several days in the warmth and charm of Cold Springs Farm was a great blessing.

Perfect Group House
Jan and Rob’s property was spacious, scenic, and perfect for our group of 10 visiting for a wedding. My only complaint is that we didn’t have more time to utilize the amazing grounds! The bedrooms were spacious and the house is full of rooms to explore and hang out in. Would highly recommend this listing!

Amazing Farm House
Our family really enjoyed staying at Cold Creek Farmhouse. The whole family was in awe of the history the house. So many doors to explore, the wood working and amazing history items with in the home. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and so many games, both indoor and out. Our hosts thought of every need. Thanks so much!

Sibling weekend 2023 was a huge success!
It was an honor to stay in this historic home. Everything wonderfully quirky was included. So many rooms, 3 staircases, butlers pantry, and getting lost just walking to the bathroom. If you're into charming old homes you'll love it. The outdoor pavilion/bar/game area was a huge hit for a huge family. 4 bathrooms for 7 women winner! Winner! We sat around the big dining room table and the huge outdoor picnic table. The back deck was great with 2 more tables and umbrellas. All in all a really great time. Thank you Jan and Rob

Winter Couples Weekend
Each winter 12 of us (6 couples) find a vacation home to enjoy a weekend away from life. This year we chose Cold Spring Farm. It had been three long years since we were able to enjoy this annual tradition! The property did not disappoint. Jan provided excellent communication & directions. It was snowing when we arrived but the sidewalk up to the house had been freshly shoveled and the pellet stove was running with a warm fire dancing when we walked in. Tons of room, a bedroom for each couple, plenty of bathrooms, a terrifically stocked kitchen, huge dining room table that fit our entire group for meals. Lots of space to spread out and enjoy conversations and play games. For an old farmhouse it was amazingly warm in the winter! This place has a good vibe! It’s huge but inviting & cozy too. You won’t regret staying here!

New Years Getaway
If you have ever gone on a tour of an old mansion, and daydreamed what it would be like to live in the house, this is as close as it gets. I would call our weekend getaway an experience. I’m not going to lie, it takes a bit to get past the “it’s so old” feeling, but once you really start to absorb it all, it becomes such a neat house. Exploring all of the rooms was definitely the highlight! You never knew what was behind a door (so.many.doors)! But sitting in the parlor drinking hot chocolate, reading in the dormer, conversing around the large dining room table, and playing hide and seek were close seconds. We did not get to enjoy the “saloon” since we came in the winter, but there are so many features out there that would it make it a fun space to hangout! We enjoyed exploring the property grounds and our walk on the trail along the creek. The kitchen has more cookware than you would ever need, beautiful dishes to fit the timeframe, and Jan supplied essentials like cooking spray and pepper/salt that are easy to forget. The towels are plush and the beds are comfortable. Two of the bedrooms are adjoining- this was perfect for kids. 4 bathrooms (updated) gave everyone their own space. Lastly, Jan was great! She answered all of my questions and was quick to respond. It was a trip we will talk about for years!

Delightful quiet location. Anout 11-12 mi outside of Spring Green.
Don’t plan on walking into town for shopping or lunch,etc. Driving to any destination is required. That issue was fine with our group. sitting on the deck with our morning coffee , or cocktail hour was great. Amazing antiques throughout the house

A big place for a big group
We needed a property with five bedrooms and multiple bathrooms so this place fit the bill. The kitchen was well-stocked with most things we needed. The beds were comfortable. We especially appreciated the piano and table games. The outdoor activities were also just fine. However, we were all rather horrified by the lack of smoke alarms in each bedroom and other rooms.
