DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD

Sometimes one finds some really special gems along the path... One of these is a unique business set in the middle of the countryside appropriately named 'Down a Country Road' outside the town of Cashton. The landowners took hunting/fishing cabins individualizing them into a variety of shoppes painted different colors surrounded by lovely seasonal gardens sprinkled with whimsical yard art. Most of the yard art is not for sale. Why is it one covets something that belongs to someone else the most? LOL. There are even outhouses with interior decorating. Behind the cabin shops you can see the 'real' barn and cows. I told you this was a novel shopping experience. Inside the cabins are shoppers’s delights - Amish goods, shabby chic novelties.... an ice cream shoppe, jams, jellies, food stuff, tourist kitsch... fun stuff.
Great signage to add humor to your day like : "Your husband called and said you can buy anything you want..." SO, Maybe the men wouldn't be so crazy about a shopping stop but it's a good girl's outing when you are traveling east of Cashton on 33. There are even Amish tours offered from there.
Speaking of which I happen to give my own ridge Amish tour version which includes stops at furniture makers, seasonal veggie gardens, a bakery, homemade foods like egg noodles, jams, candy, etc... BUT my most favorite country road to go down is the one that leads me home to the End of the Rainbow Valley...
