Our second stay with Cedrick at this vintage farm house in Amish country in rural Wisconsin. AC works great, found the home in immaculate clean condition. We play amateur radio as a honbby and rent Ced's property once a year. Six beer drinking fellas enjoyed the fire pit, large yard for radio antennas, beautiful breeze off the nearby farm field. Is truely a relaxing, beautiful property. Ontario, WI, is the local town that is a short drive away. Meats, cheeses and beer that you would expect from mostly-Germanic Wisconsin are served in full form. Great people at Wildcats bar/restaurant recommended the local 'Amish Walmart and Bakery' which is a super delight for breakfast pasteries. Five stars; exactly as advertised, Ced was great, property clean and well maintained. ##### Matt G.
