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.

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.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed this typical cozy Wisconsin farmhouse. The owners were easy to communicate with and responsive. Loved the silo that was converted into a lighthouse. It’s a clean property and well worth the visit!
