Convenient location, cozy 2 bedroom. Handy little garage.The only negative, which is minimal was the sheep footstool was a little creepy and kind of gross as it's long white fur and shows dirt.

Better than advertised.

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.

Efficient

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!

About the host

Hosted by .

Host profile image
A Platteville local excited to share my hometown with those eager to visit. Ask me anything throughout your stay and I will point you in the right direction or personally provide a helping hand.

I jumped into hosting after many wonderful stays at airbnb's throughout the country and abroad. I do my best to create a unique touch of detail and character. Make yourselves at home and create some lasting memories along the way.

Why they chose this property

My friendly neighbors who cultivate a sense of community and belonging.

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
