If you’re looking for unique vacation rentals in Wisconsin, you’ll quickly discover that there’s simply no shortage of them. The old state tourism bumper sticker had it right – if you want to get away, Escape to Wisconsin. That escape can take a lot of forms – a getaway to a resort destination like Door County or the Wisconsin Dells, a trip to a forested Northwoods retreat, or an urban excursion to Madison or Milwaukee. But if you really want to escape to Wisconsin, you might consider a little trip into the heart of Dairyland. The state’s farm country is as tranquil as it is gorgeous, and one quirky vacation rental will get you closer to life on the farm than you might imagine. Intrigued? Here’s a Wisconsin vacation rental that’s located in an actual farm silo.

This one-of-a-kind rental is located out in Helensville.
Airbnb /Repurposed Turn of the Century Silo
Not familiar with the town? It’s a small, unincorporated place in Jefferson County. It was named after the attractive wife of the town’s founder.
The town has been around since the mid-1800s, but there’s not much here besides peace and quiet and beautiful rural scenery.
Airbnb /Repurposed Turn of the Century Silo
The silo is an easy escape from cities like Madison, Milwaukee, and Janesville, and it won’t remind you of an urban home – it’s built into an actual silo that was placed into production more than a century ago.

Each floor is unique, and as you climb the steps you’ll make some interesting discoveries. The fourth floor is the destination you’ll want to reach - it has windows that offer panoramic views of the area.

Staying in the silo is a rustic experience. The bathroom is located in an old milk house, and an outhouse is used during the colder months. There’s an 1800s wood stove in the silo, but you’ll be most comfortable visiting in the warmer parts of the year.
