Norwalk House | Spacious & secluded grand home near Kickapoo River, Bike Trails, & ATV routes

8 Bedroom House in Norwalk

A private road leads to New Haven Manor Vacation Stay and Event Venue, where peace and tranquility is found. This grand home is nestled on 80 acres of woodland and pasture. In March 2021, it became part of the historic Devil's Hole Ranch. The ranch has a website. Guests can Google it and find out the history and reason for the name of our ranch. Occasionally, cattle or horses graze in the pasture.
There are six actual bedrooms, while the landing at the top of the spiral staircase is large enough to have the two twins combined into a trundle bed. So, while not an actual bedroom, the landing serves as a sleeping space complete with a wardrobe and a large dresser for guest's clothes and belongings. There is also a traditional staircase that has a sturdy handrail. There are three large full bathrooms, a newly remodeled all-purpose room in the garage area with twin beds and more. This lovely home has 5,000 sq. ft. of living space!
New Haven is a nature lover's paradise where wildlife abounds. It's the perfect place to unwind and/or reunite with friends and family for reunions, special events like weddings, seminars, etc.
In the heart of Amish country, within minutes, you can be riding the Sparta-Elroy bicycle trail, canoeing the Kickapoo River, enjoying Wildcat Mt. State Park or the Kickapoo Reserve. Cook Creek has trout, and it runs right through the property.

Guest access
Secluded and away from it all, New Haven Manor is located on an 80-acre section of the historic Devil's Hole Ranch. This property was added to the ranch in March of 2021. Beginning on May 19, 2023, the ranch changed to a program of grazing yearling steers after 80 years as a cow-calf operation. So, during grass season, the cattle in the pasture graze on our land. The goal is to put weight on these yearlings before they become feeder cattle. Since the cattle are fresh to our pastures, we have reinforced our fences with new areas that are visible from the house. The grounds at New Haven Manor feature a firepit area and a large flat expanse of lawn perfect for wedding ceremonies and large tents for receptions.
Other things to note:
Mobility issues
New Haven is a farmhouse with two major additions. Therefore, within the house on both levels, there are step ups and step downs. We have a sofa bed and two couches on the main level for those who can't navigate a staircase.
Besides the spiral staircase, there is a traditional staircase with a sturdy railing to go upstairs. There is a garage entry that has fewer steps than the walk to the front door, but still has several steps to get into the house.

Summary: We had a family reunion with 12 adults and 10 children. We had all the room we needed. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen is large with two refrigerators, all the pots and pans we required. The grill was was wonderful and very nice. The bedrooms are nice with plenty of space. Some beds very firm, others more soft — perfect balance. The yard is wonderful. We played yard games, water balloons and many running races. The fire pit was wonderful with wood and enough chairs supplied. The bike trail is only 15 minutes away in Norwalk. A convenience store was just 3 miles away as well. Our host was perfect. She answered many questions ahead of our visit and was very responsive to our questions and very accommodating! Perfect stay. 5 stars!!!
