Step back in time at Clarence's Place retreat, our little farm in the woods. We invite you to stay at our little farm in the woods. It is a quiet and serene setting in the town of Aurora, Florence County, a very rural area in northern Wisconsin. We have over 100 acres, which you are welcome to explore. In the winter, we have sleds and sledding hills; there are always a couple sets of snowshoes available for your use. Weather permitting, you will be our guests on a complimentary horse drawn sleigh or wagon ride, which winds down through the fields and virgin timber forrest. There is a fire pit in the woods, which is a stop on our winter rides. We also have a fire pit near the house which is available for your use during seasons when burning is permitted. Our working farm is adjacent to Clarence's Place and you are welcome to observe and/or participate in activities which are going on there, so pack your "play clothes" if that is of interest to you. We make maple syrup in the early spring (guests receive a complimentary bottle); calves arrive a little later in the spring. We have cows, horses, mules and a donkey named Clover. There is a pond where the little "peeps" (frogs) can be heard singing. Wildlife is common here and we can always count on deer and turkey sightings. Eagles are not uncommon. From your windows you will see horses grazing in the nearby fields. In addition to farm activities, we have an abundance of beautiful water falls in the county. There are also many lakes for swimming and fishing.; You can "float" the oxbow on the Pine River, which is about a 10 minute drive from Clarence's Place. Bring your own tube or rentals are available at the landing. The float is free. There is great trout fishing on the area's many wild rivers and streams. In winter, we have nearby downhill ski hills as well as cross country ski trails. We boast of many fine restaurants in the area. You'll take a step back in time when you walk into the 3 bedroom, one bath home, which we refer to as the "Retreat at Clarence's Place". It is a very peaceful home. Although it has a large TV and WiFi, you may find that you prefer to relax, pick up a book to read or just sit on the porch listening to the birds sing. We are often frustrated when we visit "museum homes" with rope barriers, as we can only look into the rooms. In the Retreat, you may go right in and make yourself comfortable. The house was built in 1920 and is much the same as it was 100 years ago. We encourage you to use and enjoy the antiques which you will find throughout the home. There are furniture, dishes, magazines (some dating back to the late teens of the 20th century), which we think you'll be interested in. We are sorry, but this home is not suitable for those who have trouble getting around. There are steps to get in and out of the house, as well as a second floor. The tub/shower is an antique clawfoot. The downstairs bedroom has a queen size bed. One bedroom upstairs has a queen and a twin, while the other has two twin beds. all bedding is furnished, as well as dishes, pots and pans, coffee pot, blender, microwave, tv and wifi. You'll have to wash your dishes in the antique cast iron sink. There is no washer and dryer but a laundromat is available in nearby Kingsford, MI. Check us out on Facebook.
