What To Do and The Surrounding Area
A weekend at Starry Nights is an invitation to join us in farm life and relax in slow, country time. A Farm Stay at Starry Nights is more than just a place to stay- it’s an experience; an opportunity to slow down, connect with nature, enjoy country scenery, and immerse yourself in life on our family farm.
From the minute you drive up the half mile driveway we invite you to unplug, relax, and leave "busy life" behind. Your days at the farm are determined by your own pace, rhythm, and interests- the farm is the perfect place to experience new things with the farmers, sit back and take in the fresh air and beauty of nature, or explore SO much the area has to offer!
Guests may enjoy a farm tour Friday upon arrival, or Saturday or Sunday morning, followed by free time to walk around, play, relax or explore the area. We are lucky to be in between Lake Geneva and Kenosha, where there is LOTS to do during the different seasons.
Some of our favorites things to do in the area?
Kenosha County Veterans Memorial Park is right neighboring our farm! has a lake and hiking trails that are worth a visit for hiking, swimming, and kayaking in the warmer months, and ice fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, or hiking during wintertime.
River Valley Ranch where you can stock up on seasonal produce and many local, farm fresh goods is a must!
New Munster Orchard- Fun place to visit to pick some apples and take back home during the Fall.
Thompson Strawberry Farm has much more than just strawberries! Including a beautiful sunflower field, strawberry and raspberry picking, pumpkin patch and lots of agri-tourism fun events. Check out their website and calendar to see what's going on during your stay.
Boundless Adventures- a really fun treetop aerial adventure to swing, climb, balance, traverse and zip-line through the treetop adventure, only 16 miles east of us!
Safari Lake Geneva- to complete your animal adventure, check out the wild animals in this super fun safari in Lake Geneva
Pearce's Farmstand in Walworth is SO fun in the Fall. Open though October 31st, it has pumpkins galore, a fun (and hard!) corn maze to go through, LOTS of local products for sale, live music on weekends, and fun for the kids. Check out their website and Facebook page to see what's going on.
Tristan Crist Magic Show in Lake Geneva. An amazing, 5-star, Vegas quality show that is fun for the whole family!
Kenosha Harbor Market and the Kenosha Public Market- These two incredible farmers' markets in Kenosha on Saturdays are very close to each other. Close to the Kenosha harbor and Lake Michigan it is a great way to spend a Saturday shopping for good, local food, crafts, having lunch, enjoying the music and beautiful views of Lake Michigan!
Cup O' Joe- Cute "Friends" themed coffee shop in nearby Twin Lakes to grab a cup o' joe, only 5 minutes away!
Pizza on the Farm @ Grassway Organics is a really fun way to spend a Friday or Saturday evening in the country! Bring your beach chairs and have some delicious homemade pizza and local drinks while listening to music during beautiful sunset hours. Open Fridays and Saturdays, May- October.
Wilmot Mountain less than 10 minutes away is great for skiing and tubing in the wintertime
Alpine Valley is great for skiing in the wintertime and music concerts in the summertime
Holidays and Wintertime
Holidays in the Country- From a beautiful light display, a Gingerbread house walk, to brunch with Santa at the Grand Geneva Hotel, to a Holiday high tea at the historic Baker House, a Santa Cruise around Geneva Lake- Christmas in the Country is the BEST!

Tubing- not a skier, not a problem! Tubing is SO much fun at Wilmot Tubing mountain, only minutes away!

Ice Castles- Visit the beautiful Ice Castles in Lake Geneva for a Winter Wonderland retreat!
Ice Skating (and sledding and skiing too!) at Grand Geneva Resort
