Red House at Palmquist Farm

A quaint red cabin nestled beneath eighty-year old pine trees, the Red House is one of the original cabins built when Toinie and Art Palmquist first began taking in guests. It has three cedar-paneled bedrooms (two with king size beds) and a full bath. The red-brick, wood-burning fireplace is a great place to relax and warm up after a day enjoying the snow. The kitchen table located near the family room is perfect for family games and good discussion. A small porch also offers a place to sit and enjoy nature.

History of The Red House

Red House at Palmquist Farm

The Red House started out as a very simple cabin near Minocqua, Wisconsin, about a 45 minute drive away from The Farm. When the state highway department decided to widen the highway that the cabin was near, they sold the cabin to the highest bidder. The winning bid was made by Art Palmquist, Jim's father, in 1967. After being sold, the cabin was cut into two pieces, moved to the farm and then reassembled. Modern conveniences such as plumbing and electricity were then installed, since the cabin did not have such features before it was moved.
