The farm has been in the family for four generations. We don't have any livestock anymore and rent the fields to the neighbors but the home, outbuildings and five acres are well-loved and used as our home base and also for rustic weddings, graduation parties, reunions and barn dances. In 1974, the farm was used as the location for the TV movie "Things in Their Season" starring Patricia O'Neal. We put up one of the first barn quilts in the county and are on the route of the Bike the Barn Quilts bike ride (held last Saturday in September.) Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent or roll your RV up to a beautiful farmstead (we no longer have animals, crops only).  We are a rustic wedding / event venue located mid-way on the Mountain Bay Trail, Wisconsin's longest rail-trail which runs about 90 miles from Weston to Green Bay.   Fire pit available.  Views of farmland all around.  Quiet and peaceful but not secluded.   (See pictures on Facebook Country Events at the Koeller Century Farm.) You can move tent into the machine shed (wood chip floor) during severe weather.  There are electrical outlets to use to re-charge devices.

About

Shimmering see-through waters sparkle on the lake and tall pines shade in the campsites. From mountain bikes and kayaks to all varieties of camping gear, this park has taken all your stress away with rentals of just about anything you left at home.

Despite its proximity to Green Bay, Madison, and even Chicago, the masses don’t flock to this hidden gem, so you’ll have all the quiet you need to forget about crowds and city life. Spend a day hiking Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail, or go check out the art galleries in town—whatever you do, make sure you’re chilling hard.
