About this property
Cozy Farmhouse Retreat, Climb lighthouse, Acres to explore, Dogs ok, Amenities!
Lighthouse Bungalow is a quaint country farmhouse with adjacent 4 acres (groomed) which allows guest the time to relax, refuel, and experience life in a private country setting. A great place to observe stars, wildlife, and a wonderful place to slow down from the fast pace of life. This vacation rental is in the Driftless Area of Southwest WI which has some incredible amenities to explore which are vastly different from other areas of Wisconsin.
This rental is very close to a large network of ATV/UTV trails in Lafayette and Grant County, WI.
Come Stargaze, enjoy a picnic, make smores, enjoy a campfire, sleep outdoors! There are apple trees, grape vines and asparagus on the property.
Visit the Tri-State area from this property; UW Platteville is 18 miles, Galena, IL is 22 miles, Dubuque IA is 26 miles, Madison WI is 1 hour and 20 minutes away.
Enjoy the 4 local State Parks; Gov. Dodge is 33 miles, Yellowstone is 27 miles, Wylusing is 61 miles, and Nelson Dewey is 44 miles. Don't forget, we are 20 miles from the Mississippi River, you can fish from the O'Leary Lake or on the Mississippi River!
Our location is conveniently located in the heart of farm country southwest Wisconsin. You can take your boat out to the lake and return home to a quiet setting with your family for the rest of the evening! Yellowstone Lake is closest to this location.
The property is located in the rural area of Cuba City Wisconsin, on County Road Q near County Road I. Once booked, we will provide the exact address. Thank you for looking and visiting the Vrbo website page for the “Lighthouse Bungalow” farmhouse rental. We look forward to hosting you!

About the host
Hosted by Carns

Robert (Bob) Carns originally bought this property in 1999 for his future place of retirement. He had lived here up until October of 2018 and then moved to an acreage near Dickeyville after his marriage to Elaine. He has a very strong tie to this property and has done a lot of work fixing up the house and adjacent buildings and has turned an old cement silo into the current Lighthouse and does not want to sell the property. Instead, Bob and Elaine work effortlessly to maintain the Lighthouse Bungalow and preserve it's attributes.
The rental property has been in the works for awhile. Bob's daughter Nina is the former property manager, and we regret to announce that she suddenly passed away.
She loved this property and will truly be missed by family and the many folks she interacted with when she managed this property (since 2020).

Why they chose this property
This property is in the heart of a large farming community. Peaceful and enchanting, creating a wonderful get-a-way! This property is the true definition of a country setting. Ath the top of the Lighthouse you can see for many miles in each direction. This area centers between several main cities, attractions and is not far from the Madison Airport. You can enjoy a day at the lake, be a tourist in Galena, visit the River Museum in Dubuque, travel to the zoo in Madison or just kick back and relax in the countryside. The tri-state area (Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa) has much to offer your free time.
What makes this property unique
Privacy makes this property unique. There is a quiet atmosphere aligned with nature creating a great escape from the normal lives we lead to enter a wonderful indoor and outdoor situation to relax, enjoy the simple pleasures of life and connect with loved ones.
