This is a lovely bungalow to enjoy while adventuring in and around Platteville. This charming home is on a quiet corner lot, perfect for a goodnights sleep before heading out for a morning hike.
My son and I stayed there and were pleased with the location of the property as it was in close proximity to our job location. The place was quaint and quiet and I slept very well. The bed was super comfy but the best part of my stay was the SHOWER! The pressure was very awesome! The owner was very prompt in answering any questions or concerns that arose. Book here! You will not regret it!

What makes this property unique
My mascot, Carl, aptly named after Carl Sagan who penned the famous Pale Blue Dot philosophy: stems from a 1990 photo of Earth taken by Voyager 1 from deep space, revealing our planet as a tiny speck, prompting reflections on humanity's smallness, the shared responsibility to cherish Earth as our only home, the absurdity of human conflicts, and the need for empathy, unity, and cosmic perspective to ensure survival and meaning
