The space
Dear prospective guest,
We care very much about both our properties and our guests having a terrific experience. Please read our reviews to see how much our guests have given positive testimony about their experience with us. We have two incredible historic homes in Wales, Wisconsin which are amazing places to spend with family and friends.
We are sorry to have to lead in with the following paragraph. We have warm homes and we are warm people. Unfortunately, we have had some bad experiences with guests. We only want to rent to guests who will care for our home diligently and treat our neighbors very respectfully. We do not allow large groups, non-overnight guests to the property (without written permission) and we certainly do not allow college age drinking parties or groups who make loud outside noise. You are not allowed to have a gathering at the home without specific written permission, even ones that may be allowed will be small and require extra fee's and a security deposit. We also want our guests to be aware we have installed outdoor security cameras and monitor regularly what is taking place at the property. If you are good people who will care for our home you will absolutely love our homes and your experience. Again please read our reviews to confirm. We do not want this to come across cold, but we truly do want to screen out guests who don't fit what we have just stated. Please read all the house rules prior to booking. Now please read on and see how special our two properties are!
You are currently looking at the listing for the main floor and lower level of this home. For this price access to the upper 4 bedrooms is locked however you will receive the main floor master suite with a whirlpool tub, fireplace and two person walk in shower. As always you are the only group in the home.
There is also another very nice main floor full bath for your use. In the finished lower level there is a queen bed in the lower family room area and then another small, adjacent room with door that has two single beds in it.
This pricing is set up for two people. This listing can be used to book up to six people however there is an additional charge of $35 for each guest over two guests. If you are coming as one household only with your children only I am willing to work with you on the fee for your children.
In addition to the main floor and lower level this home also offers a comfortable screened porch, nice patio with wood fire pit and an additional gas-fire table. In addition to all this, there is a cottage on the property for your enjoyment. It is an amazing place to experience and has a cool loft the kids will love to play in. Enjoy the pictures! The cottage is closed for the cold season. Special arrangements may be discussed for an extra fee of $100 to pay for a special cleaning and also to allow it to be heated for while you are using it. This fee is required from the weekend prior to Thanksgiving until March 30th.

HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY
Welsh immigrants helped settle this farm in the 1840's. This estate was established by Richard "King" Jones of Wales. The first church services, weddings and more were held on this estate. Mr. Jones allowed people to live in his barn while they built their homes. He named his farm after the name of his farm in Wales, UK. The name is Bronnyberllan.
This estate is written about in several published writings. It is remarked as the most famous Welsh home in Wisconsin. In 1891 a fire burnt down Mr. Jones original estate. It was then rebuilt in the 1890s by a man named Charles Williams. It was written that Mr. Williams, a man of well means, then built what is described as one of the finest homes in the Town of Genesee. After decades of farming by the Rees family, they sold the farm land this home was on to what now is known as the Legend at Brandybrook Country Club. The Legend is a beautiful private country club and high end neighborhood that abuts this property. Finally, the Cavaiani's bought the home in 2006, only the fourth family to own the home.
It was in much need of repair and restoration but to their delight the beautiful main floor wood work had never been painted and the stained glass windows were all stil in place. After a year of restoration, even to the point of matching wood species and milling the Cavaiani's and their family of five moved in. Our kids have now grown, and two of them are in college and one only has a year left of high school. As a result, we moved nearby into a smaller home and now manage this home as an Airbnb. It is a delight to share this home with others and see how much they appreciate it.
You will see a 4% management fee associated with this booking. It should be noted that this is a historic maintenance fee. Our historic homes do require extra care and this fee helps us keep them in quality condition for our guests. Your booking is helping preserve these homes and allow them to be enjoyed for generations to come.

Ask Jay about hiking trails! There are many trail systems nearby.
One that is beautiful and close where you don’t need a permit is Retzer Nature Center.
Other State Park trail systems nearby include Lapham Peak and the Scuppernong Trails. Both of those are beautiful! Lapham is more popular and closer (10 min) Scuppernong is about 15 minutes away and more remote with much less people. Lapham you will have to pay parking and if there is snow the trails are for cross country only. It does have a tower to check out with views of the nearby lakes. Scuppernong is always open to hiking and to park in the lot you need to pay but you can park for free on the road, Hwy ZZ, and that’s free. Please feel free to ask questions. There are several other areas to check out. Some of those include Paradise Springs and the Ice Age Trail. The Ice Age trail is not a loop trail.
Other things to note
Please see our reviews to know how much care we put into cleaning for our guests.
