Room for a crowd at Akey Valley in southwest Wisconsin Check the calendar to plan your 2023 stay in the country with us at Akey Valley. Akey Valley, LLC. is a vacation rental home located in scenic Richland County in southwest Wisconsin. Join us in the country!The Akey Valley farmhouse is over 140+ years old. The original house was built in 1879 with an addition built in 1980 (ish).The home is fully furnished and sleeps 12 comfortably with 6 bedrooms (five bedrooms upstairs and one on the main level) and plenty of space available for air mattresses. The house has a large remodeled kitchen, a sitting parlor room, dinning room, two bathrooms both on the main level and a large great room. Make yourself at home for the week or weekend.Akey Valley is a family affair, we are not part of a property management company, resort or hotel chain looking to make tons of money off our rental. Dennis and Angie own the property and are active in the farm operation. They are just taking over the rental management from Eric & Amy, Angie's sister. Their son Ethan does the lawn moving. Angie's mom, Marilynn, does the laundry. It is a working farm and the cows in the pasture and the tractors in the barn belong to Angie's parents. At Akey Valley, we want people to experience and enjoy time in the country. The home includes a living room, dining room, sitting room, and two bathrooms both on the main level (there are NO bathrooms upstairs). The large fully equipped kitchen was remodeled in 2012. It has a wall oven, electronic cook top, oversized refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and other small appliances like waffle maker, toaster, popcorn maker, blender and a tabletop George Forman grill. All cooking utensils, silverware and dishware are included. Guests will need to bring in and prepare their own food. All bed linens and towels are provided. We offer great accommodations but please know it is NOT new construction. The main floor has central air but there is no AC (for summer) or heating (for winter) to the upstairs. For the summer, we have box fans in every room with large windows. In the fall, we have big comforters to keep cozy. We close the farmhouse during the winter. The house also includes a 26x26 great room addition that’s perfect for gatherings or activities with a larger group! We installed Wi-Fi at the house in October 2014. It has worked well for guests but know it's not super fast (we would not advise streaming movies). Some things we don't have: cable or dish network (we do have a TV with local channels). Cell phone service can be spotty - it works for some and not for others. We hope our guests enjoy the beautiful scenery of the driftless region and have a time to sit back, relax and truly get away. There are so many things to do in southwest Wisconsin and the driftless area.
