About this property

Entire place

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!

Family reunion

We had a family reunion in Benton and booked this place because it was nearby and we were intrigued by a lighthouse in the middle of corn fields. The house is comfortable and the grounds were lovely. It was so relaxing to stay there.

Peaceful, remote getaway

This property had so much to offer- peaceful sounds of the countryside; spacious outdoors for our dog and us to run, walk, and play yard games; lots to do including climbing the lighthouse and playing ping pong; plenty of inside sleeping options; and wonderful hosts who quickly respond. This was our fourth time renting this place, and we plan to do it again next year.
