About this property

Forest and Farm 6BR Retreat, Modern and Spacious Farmhouse

When you’re here you’ll experience a beautiful old growth tree farm, 30 minutes north of Milwaukee. It’s just far enough to connect with nature and see the stars, but close enough to everything you love about Wisconsin.

The East Wing
The main house or East Wing has plenty of space for all your guests and features a panoramic sunroom which we fondly call “the bird room” for its spectacular views of the forest filled with woodland animals. It has an open floor plan kitchen so whether you’re doing the cooking or the one watching the game, you can be fully immersed in quality time with your friends and family. Warm up by the fireplace, head out for a hike on our walking paths, or just simply be. No matter what the season or reason you’re staying, there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy.

The West Wing
holds a special place in our heart. This addition was made on the home much later and with some labor of love, it has turned into the Master Suite of our dreams. It’s sprawling bedroom features its own seating area and beautiful master bath with a soaking tub. The den can be used as a kitchen, living room or additional bedroom. But we recommend not sharing this romantic suite unless absolutely necessary. This wing can be booked along with the East Wing only.

In The Summer Months
This property has up north feels. It is surrounded by 60 foot pines and around the corner from pristine nature preserves and bike trails. We are just a few miles down the road from Lake Michigan, the beach, and the harbor town of Port Washington where you can rent a fishing boat or surf the waves on a windy day. You can also golf at the many nearby world class clubs. We are next to the beautiful town of Cedarburg that is a destination in itself. It is a lovely collection of old stone shops and restaurants on the river that will enchant with live music and popular festivals all year long. In our gardens you will find a medley of flowers and vegetables and often a chicken or two.

In The Winter Months
Winter here is a magical wonderland. Enjoy our 3 wood burning fireplaces and bring your snowmobile, sleds, skies and warm mittens. We are very close to Sunburst ski and tubing hill. There are winter celebrations all around the area and on select Friday nights until Christmas- Downtown Cedarburg lines the streets with lanterns and welcome all to Santa’s workshop. January's winter festival hosts ice skating on the river, and bed sled races that are not to be missed.

Come, wander our forests, explore the barns, the log cabin, and play in the wildflower field. Everyone is welcome here.

Great place to celebrate 120 years of Harley-Davidson

Great property for large groups! The hosts were super nice easy to communicate with and even left us put our Harleys in the barn to keep them from getting wet. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

A great family getaway!

My family lost our family farm years ago and we’ve been trying to re-create a place for us to go that brought us back to the wonderful weekends we spent at the farm. The house was phenomenal with a ton of space and it supplied everything imaginable. We all walked away with smiles on our faces. The property is beautiful, and very close to a couple different towns. I highly recommend this rental property.

Unfortunate experience with hosts

This would have been a five-star experience had it not been for the unfortunate experience we had with the hosts. The property is stunning and my husband and I stayed here with our immediate families during our wedding weekend (wedding was off property). The hosts were on the property during the entirety of our stay, making us feel watched over, untrusted, and uncomfortable. The morning after our wedding, we had invited our out of town guests to stop by and say goodbye before they left town. Although they were there for no longer than an hour, the hosts had seen them all arrive since they are always on the property and immediately scolded us for having an unauthorized party and we were immediately upcharged. It was upsetting to us during our special weekend and we did not appreciate the way we were spoken to by the hosts. They chalked it up to be a septic system overload, however, there was not one, and none of those who stopped by to say bye to us were inside the house. They also told us we already had an unauthorized party earlier in the weekend - what they were referring to was when our parents made us a beautiful dinner the night before our wedding and we ate it outside together as families (all who were a part of this were staying at the house - besides our photographer and her assistant who stopped by to capture the evening). Overall, we had high hopes for this stay and beautiful property but our weekend was clouded by our experience with the hosts and we did not feel comfortable with their presence on the property during our entire stay.

Family Reunion 2021

Having the family reunion at this location was a wonderful event. Close to the locations we needed. The house was very clean, comfortable and air-conditioned on the hot days. Communicating with the property management was easy. The entire property is well-maintained and the owner/management has worked hard to keep it that way. We saw deer running through the yard every day. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils as we cooked several meals in the five days we were there with 10 people. Plenty of places to sleep and had privacy. Bathrooms were very clean and there were plenty of them. Overall we are very satisfied with our stay!

Absolute perfection

I just returned from a wonderful 3 nights at the Abloom Retreat with 4 friends. It was the perfect backdrop for our biennial reunion and met or exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The grounds are absolutely lovely - spacious, verdant, and peaceful and we were delighted with the garden and the chickens. Dale and Katy were very responsive to our needs and questions and we had the pleasure of seeing them working in the garden and learning a bit about their farming and irrigation methods, which, being an avid gardener, I found fascinating. The farmhouse has been stunningly renovated and is impeccably clean. There was more than enough room for the 5 of us to spread out in privacy and plenty of cozy places to gather and talk into the wee hours of the night (we've known one another for 50 years!). The furnishings are tasteful, luxurious and comfortable, including the beds. All in all - a top notch vacation rental property. I've stayed in dozens over the years and Abloom Farm is right up there with the best of them.

What a wonderful place!

My friend and I wished we had booked a longer stay! We felt right at home, actually a little on the spoiled side. This house has so much character and charm and was exactly like the pictures. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Dale and Katy were so nice and made sure we had all we needed. Even left us farm fresh eggs for breakfast! Like I said, we loved our stay and will be coming back for sure :) thanks to Dale & Katy

Could not have been better!!!

We spent a relaxing weekend here with our 3 adult children, spouses and 2 small grandkids, plus a few dogs. The house has so much space. Grandson, 3, loved running down the halls. Best place for hide and seek! We could stay up not worrying about the 3-month old baby hearing us on the other end of the house. A light snow on Friday made for breathtaking views of the trees from the sunroom Saturday morning. So peaceful. Property owner was very responsive to our questions also.

Abloom Retreat was a fantastic place to share with great friends! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out but also plenty of common locations to come together. The house had everything we needed and Dale was super responsive. We especially enjoyed spending time outdoors with the beautiful surroundings as our backdrop. Definitely a place to return to!

Nothing Short of Perfect

Selecting space for a special event is always a leap of faith, but our recent stay at Abloom was nothing short of perfect. The home and yard were exceptional space for our immediate family to stay and enjoy, while the beautiful pine forest and barns exceeded all expectations for our outdoor wedding...just breathtaking. At first impression, we immediately knew that this property is truly special. We also had the pleasure of meeting Dale & Katy. They could not have been more organized, accommodating, and gracious hosts. Thank you, Dale & Katy! We leave a piece of our heart at Abloom and look forward to visiting again soon.

This property was the perfect place for our 20th year annual sister weekend. We want to go back!

Dale was a great host. The property was wonderful and unique, and provided ample amount of space for all of us. The property is beautiful and it was nice to be able to walk through the pine trees. Great place to connect and spend time as a family! Port Washington is a short distance and Fork & Tap offered pick up for gluten free fish fry (another bonus). We would love to return!

A Very Special Place

This beautiful property was ideal for our very large family gathering. We slept 20 people with a total of 32 around during the day, and the many facets of Abloom Farm handled this number well! Dale, Katie, and property manager, Mark, were wonderful to work with. Dale was particularly patient with our many, many questions as we planned our weekend. Our sincere thanks from the whole family for helping us make priceless memories!! Nancy E.

Amazing Hosts and Enchanting Venue

Dale and Katy are wonderful hosts. They were easy to contact and were helpful throughout the entire experience. From the moment we booked, they made sure we had what we needed to make our wedding perfect. Dale captured amazing photos that we will cherish forever. Abloom is enchanting and the photos are beautiful, but it is even more magical in person. The house was spotless and spacious and its unique decor makes it inviting. The big barn was a great space for our wedding ceremony, and the small barn ended up being perfect for our reception. We loved everything about our stay and this beautiful farm. We are looking forward to booking another stay, sometime in the future. This place is one of a kind.

About the host

Hosted by Dale Stenbroten

We have been photographers for over 30 years. In the last 11 years or so, we began hosting and and really enjoy it. We are very laid back and easy going, but passionate about giving our guests 5 star service. We are extremely interested in slow living, sustainability, natural health, and regenerative agriculture and love learning more about how we can incorporate that into the property. Our dream for expanding the property includes more farm animals (like donkeys, sheep and alpacas) and bringing in more amenities while still maintaining the vintage charm of the property and honoring the land.

Why they chose this property

At first, the forest. After our first tour with our real estate agent we knew immediately that this was the place. As wedding photographers for 30 years, we have experienced wedding venues all over the world and always dreamed of opening our own but with a twist. We wanted it to tie into a more authentic and relaxing experience. This is the perfect property for that.

Almost all of our wedding packages include a multi-night stay in the home which allows you more time to set up and enjoy your wedding weekend instead of rushing through. We are there every step of the way to lend a helping hand when needed and ensure you get the best experience that Abloom has to offer. If you're interested in hosting a wedding at Abloom let us know or visit our website for packages/pricing.

What makes this property unique

Our forest is extremely unique to the area. When you enter the property, you immediately feel that classic Wisconsin Up North feeling but are still only 30 minutes from Milwaukee.

We also are set up for events. Weddings are a large focus of our property so we have all of the infrastructure and equipment to host events including our vintage barns. Events do need to be approved by us beforehand so if you're interested in hosting an event, please contact us!
