During the warmer months you'll be able to enjoy the privacy from the back deck and gather round the fire pit with your family and friends.

Why they chose this property
We love the Driftless area for all that it has to offer. From the charming small towns, to the many parks and recreational areas, you'll be sure to find something for everyone to enjoy! This home is located in a quiet neighborhood situated high on the bluffs of the Mississippi River. You'll find a stunning view sitting right from the front porch of our property. With 4 acres and a private pond you'll have plenty of space to spread out.
We're located just 5 minutes from Guttenberg and a public boat launch (located on S River Park Drive). Pike's Peak State Park is a short 15 minute drive and Prairie du Chien is about 25 minutes away. You'll want to check out the many small businesses located in Guttenberg. Some of our personal favorites are pizza at Joe's Pizza and Arcade and breakfast from Sodes Perk Central Coffee House & Cafe. You'll also find a very charming gift shop with many locally made items included locally crafted wine, beer and liquor.
Guttenberg's River Walk provides two levels of paved sidewalks that run parallel to the river. Includes several gazebos, grills, picnic tables, benches and public restrooms. Located along River Park Drive. Also check out the Farmer's Market from May-October every Saturday from 8am-12pm. 400 block S River Park Drive.
