About this property
The Happy, Hippie Homestead 3BRM Sleeps up to 10
Just minutes from the Mississippi riverfront and Burlington's Historic Downtown, this beautiful old home is spacious and perfect for hosting small intimate gatherings with family and friends. The main level boasts a LARGE, beautiful kitchen perfect for cooking and entertaining! But, our favorite part of this property, is our back deck and covered pergola. You will have access to the entire house during your stay, as well as a small portion of a fenced in yard to use for entry and exit. There’s a good chance you will see my husband and I working in the garden behind you depending upon what time of year you’re visiting us. You may also see our border collie dog named Desi running around in the backyard. Don’t worry, he’s friendly with all people and dogs, and does not have access to your portion of the yard or property. He just wants to say hi.
