About this house rental
Gather your loved ones or wedding party at this quiet country home that has been updated for your comfort while retaining its 1920's character. Conveniently located 2 miles from Livengood's Wedding Barn and only 10 miles from the mighty Mississippi River, Great River Trail, 7 miles from Timberlake Playhouse and 15 miles from the Rhythm Section Amphitheater. There's plenty of parking and room for boat trailers and toy haulers. Come to the country and enjoy the large yard and open sky as far as you can see.
There’s room for ten guests with four bedrooms and a sleeper sofa. A full size crib is available, on request. You will have a full size, well equipped kitchen to make your meals or heat up a snack. Off the kitchen is the original pantry that holds some extra supplies for you to use during your stay, as well as an iron, ironing board and clothes steamer.
Two updated full bathrooms along with mirrors in most bedrooms make it easier for multiple people to get ready for a wedding or hanging out with friends. The bathrooms are stocked with fluffy towels, blow dryers, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and a generous stock of toilet paper. The main floor bath has a first aid kit, should you need it. Also on the main floor is a full size washer and dryer available for you to use at no additional cost.
The front of the house has a large, enclosed porch that is unheated, not air conditioned but is a great place to sit and feel the breeze through all of the windows and listen to the sounds of the country.
Outside there is a huge yard with a fire pit, firewood, patio set, charcoal grill and electric black stone grill for your use. There are some outdoor toys for the little ones in the garage, as well.
The garage is used for storage only, no parking vehicles inside. There are several buildings on the property that are great backdrops for photos but are not to be entered by guests. The property is part of an active farm so you might even see a tractor or combine during your stay, so please leave the driveway passable, just in case.

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at the Blue Farmhouse. We could tell as soon as we arrived that this was a special place and that it was well-maintained. Everything from the landscaping outside to the amenities inside were perfect. It brought back wonderful childhood memories of when I visited my grandparents’ farmhouse with the hardwood floors and vintage doorknobs, but it also had the modern conveniences of new appliances, smart TVs, WiFi, heating, and air conditioning. We were amazed about how extremely clean, quiet, comfortable, and peaceful the property was. Lisa is a phenomenal host. She was very responsive and gave clear instructions. She even made delicious cinnamon rolls, provided plenty of bottled water, and made sure the house was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We came to the area to visit family, and Lisa treated us like part of her family with her Midwest hospitality. On our journey home, we were already talking about how much we wanted to return to the area and stay at the Blue Farmhouse again and invite others who weren’t with us on this trip. I highly recommend this wonderful place!

We rented the The Blue Farmhouse as a convenience for our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding at Livengood’s Barn, just down the road. The booking process was a breeze and Lisa kept in contact with us prior to our stay. Just had the fridge stocked with water and homemade cinnamon rolls, which were amazing. We had a full house of much of the wedding party after the wedding, I’m so glad they weren’t traveling for 1 hours after the reception. We sat around the fire pit for a couple hours and we were able to catch up with the kid’s friends. We would recommend to anyone and we would go back just to get away. Thank you so so much.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Blue Farmhouse. Lisa is an exceptional host and has thought of just about everything we needed during our stay. We stayed over Thanksgiving week and I forgot my rolling pin. The kitchen is so well equipped that one of our adult children commented that Lisa probably had one in the kitchen somewhere and sure enough we found one tucked away in a kitchen drawer. The home is very cozy, with enough chairs to have comfortable dinners and fun game nights. There are lots of game options provided, which we appreciated. The bathrooms are very nice, with ample water pressure and a basket of essentials in case you forgot something. We also enjoyed the quiet of the country while being only 15 minutes from a grocery store in Morrison and a one hour beautiful drive to Galena. We highly recommend staying here and are looking forward to renting the Blue Farmhouse again in the spring.
