Rental Property

Nestled between fields of soybeans and corn with sunflowers waving in the breeze, sits our tourist rental home, once a small, thriving dairy farm, waiting for you to come out and enjoy its natural surroundings. Whispering Creek GuestHouse is located 10 miles north of Sparta on Highway 27, outside the unincorporated village of Cataract. A stroll or bike ride around the "block" of the guesthouse measures 3 miles. Cataract boasts two small rural churches, two taverns serving meals and a gas station, all within a short walk.Recreation abounds in the surrounding area. If you enjoy fishing, the Mill Pond is located on the north side of town. State land runs a few hundred yards north and is abundant with wildlife, flora and fauna. The Sparta-Elroy Bike Trail is located 10 miles to the south and fifteen miles north is Black River Falls, which has many miles of cross country ski and ATV trails. Melrose, 10 miles west, offers canoe trips down the Black River. Amish tours are available in nearby Cashton.
Whispering Creek GuestHouse is a small white bungalow with an English Cottage feel. Surrounding the house is a wrap-around garden landscaped in flowers, herbs, vegetables and sunflowers planted for our guests’ enjoyment. A large pumpkin patch out front along with watermelon and cantaloupe offer good eating if the weather cooperates and your stay is during harvest time. A working windmill provides water for the many gardens and is home to a few happy fish.
