Unique Tower Vacation Rental on Farmland near Waukesha, Wisconsin
**Please read the entire listing!**
This is a glamping silo, please dress for the weather and come prepared for a rustic experience.
The Silo from floor to rooftop stands nearly 40 feet and has 4 floors and a loft with a bed. 4 floors are accessed with a cleverly engineered spiral staircase. A spiral staircase reaches the 4th floor while the 5th level is accessed by a 6 foot ladder. The 4th floor is a unique space with 6 large opening windows that reveal a 360° view of the farm and wildlife reserve land. Geese, sandhill crane, deer and turkey are quite often heard and seen. Bring a book, watch a movie, take in the views and fall asleep to a closer view of the stars.
Please note*
The loft on the 5th level is not well suited for individuals over 6 feet tall. The space is cozy, nestled in the peak of the Silo above the windows. Accessed by a custom engineered folding ladder. The space is just large enough to fit a queen-size memory foam mattress, flat screen TV and DVD player. It has A/C for the hot days and a space heater for the cold days.
The bathroom is a converted milk-house with hot running water just steps from the silo entrance (seasonal, will be closed before first freeze). A recently renovated outhouse is used during colder months. Going as "Green" as possible, we went with a farm/industrial vibe using re-purposed material; galvanized steel, copper pipe and old barn wood. Perhaps the most interesting feature about the Milkhouse bathroom is that the water supply is entirely harvested rainwater from the barn roof. A first flush diverter system and a series of filters purify the rainwater before it enters the Milkhouse. Rainwater is good for your hair! At least thats what my granny told me :).
In the lower barn (attached to the Silo) kitchen basics are provided.
