Fairlane
On Little Fork Lake
ABOUT
The original cabin, set on four wooded acres, was built by William Thiede in the 1940s as well as two out buildings and a boathouse. In 1989, a few years after William's passing, his wife Florence Thiede made the decision to sell the property and move south to live out her years. Patrick Baxter of Madison purchased the property as a family retreat and maintained the buildings and land for as long as his growing family could manage. Completely rebuilt in 2015, Fairlane (named in tribute to American Industrialist, Henry Ford's countryside manor in Dearborn, Michigan) has hosted family and friends of the Baxter's ever since.
