About this farm stay rental
Applewood Farms is a fabulous multi-purpose retreat nestled between I-43/I-94. We are located 20 minutes west of downtown Milwaukee and 10 minutes east of Waukesha. If you are a larger group attending Harley Fest or the RNC, you've found your perfect stay.
Our home was established more than 35 years ago by Ricca, Steve and their six kids. Since then, we have hosted hundreds of gatherings, showers, celebrations, parties, dinners and overnight stays -- for guests of all ages, from all walks of life and from all over the world.
Our four-bedroom, four-bath homestead is set on 5+ acres with an apple orchard, vegetable gardens, large deck, party grill, swimming pool/poolbar (seasonal), jacuzzi bathtub suite, pool table, board games, "Alexa" radio, multiple kitchens, bags/corn hole, fire pit, nearby park with hiking trails, poker room, unlimited parking and barn with views from the "sunset room". We have been told the pictures don't do it justice!
Applewood Farms is the perfect home-away-from-home for large groups, families and adventure travelers. Camping out in the orchard is OK.
*Please note that this is our family home, which we still live in, so we do have some family pictures, etc.

We used Ricca's house for a bachelor party. The outdoor bar was perfect to hang out and watch college football all day.

Our group was 7 couples, getting away for a long weekend. Our plan was to arrive Friday afternoon, hang at the house, swim in the pool, and order in. Saturday we were heading to a couple breweries and then a Brewers & Cubs game.
The location, size, and amenities of the house are great. I had communicated with Ricca several times before arriving and she was always very prompt and accommodating to our early check-in request. The house has everything you could possibly need regarding supplies, linens, kitchen utensils, etc. House is huge - we all had (very comfortable) beds and were able to spread out and have spaces to ourselves.
Unfortunately the pool heater was broken during our stay so we were unable to swim. This was disappointing as that had been a major part of our plan for Friday and arriving earlier.
The pool (looked) amazing and the poolhouse was great though. They also have an awesome firepit that we did use.
This was different than about 10 other VRBO experiences we have had however, in that this property is their actual home. There are family pictures throughout the house, food in the fridges, etc. Some people in our group did not mind, but some were a little unnerved to be staying/sleeping in someone else's actual bed and having their things all around.
We all had a fantastic time, and I do recommend the property for a large group gathering.

Ricca is very flexible on check in which helped us since we had ppl coming from different areas. The house has everything. From towels and pool floaties to every kitchen utensil you can think of. All kinds of board games. We had a great time there

We held our family reunion at Applewood Farm over the July 4rth Holiday and could not have been more happy with this venue. We have a large family with three generations attending. While the sleeping arrangements could only accommodate a couple families, the pool area, house and grounds comfortable handled our band of 37 attendees with there comings and goings - it never felt crowded. It really was the perfect venue and allowed us to hang out together for several days easily.
Ricca and Tom were incredibly accommodating and helpful and made all the toys and tools available to really do this right. Plus its also close to several hotels and other amenities so no one needed to drive far if they did not stay on the property or to get something.
Tom and Ricca really made us feel at home in their home.

I stayed at Ricca's beautiful property with 13 of my closest friends. We had an absolute blast and made memories to last a lifetime! Ricca was fabulous and showed us everything we needed to know about the property. When we had a question about the grill her husband came by right away to help us out. The pool and pool bar are INCREDIBLE. There were tons of rafts for us to use, too. We all would highly recommend and hope to stay again soon!

What a wonderful house and a wonderful weekend! We had a blast in the pool all weekend and the weather held up. We had all the amenities and room we could imagine. Such a fun space and the back yard is great! Thank you for letting us stay st your house!

The pool area here cannot be beat! There was plenty of beds for our guests to sleep and big common areas to hang out in. Ricca was wonderful and very accommodating to our needs and flexible with our check in and out times. We will definitely be returning!

Wish we had more time to enjoy this beautiful place. We were in Milwaukee for our niece's wedding and had family come in from Florida and Washington state. It was great to be able to relax and enjoy our family gathering by the pool area. The house was absolutely charming. Plenty of room for everyone. Will definitely stay again. Thank you to our host for letting us enjoy a little piece of heaven.

We stayed at Steve and Ricca's home for a family reunion. The location was great - easy trip into the city, the setting was lovely, the home gave us plenty of room to spread out and yet gather together to eat or play games, the pool and pool bar were the perfect place for everyone to relax and enjoy each others company. Ricca was a gracious hostess and we had everything we needed for a fantastic weekend. Thanks Steve and Ricca!

Attentive owners and an expansive place for bigger groups. Lots of amenities allow for a variety of activities and ways to enjoy the time there with one another. There is a cat, for those with allergies. Plan ahead with owner if you need storage space (drawers, cabinets, refrigerator).

Home was large and great for our family reunion. Barn, orchard, and pool. Wonderful for lots of unstructured time together. We had a group of 7 extended family members aged 55-87. Perfect for all, and there was room for more. Ricca and Steve were wonderful to work with, very nice and approachable. Generous with their home, and they have an infectious enthusiasm for life.

Great place to enjoy my brother's bachelor party. Plenty of space, loved the pool/bar. Owners were there when we arrived and provided us with everything we needed! Looking forward to coming back!

The owners, Steve and Ricca, were very nice and their home was more than spacious enough to accommodate my kids and 6 grandkids. The problem arose when we got there and were informed that they had a cat that had to be let into the house to eat. I told Ricca that I was allergic to cats and she said they kept it out of the top floor bedrooms but not the master bedroom that my husband and I slept in. The cat was outside most of the time, but came to the back door when it wanted to come in and eat. Twice we all went to bed while the cat was still outside and my husband and I were awakened at 4:00 a.m. by the cat meowing outside the French door in the master bedroom wanting to come in. There was no mention of the cat on the VRBO website when I booked the house ( my daughter and I checked the website twice). I told Ricca she should put it on there for other people who may be allergic to cats or don't like cats or want to feed one when they are on vacation. If everyone in your party likes cats then this is a great rental for you.
