House Rules
I have a very friendly but active dog that will greet you. The gravel driveway to location has a steep pitch at entrance and curves into yard. Not ideal and would be difficult for inexperienced operator to park. Electricity and water are available upon request but prefer self-contained unit/vehicle.
Location
Driveway entrance is narrow and pitched. CAUTION. A 35 ft Airstream has been towed into and parked in location BUT only by a very experienced driver. No problem for truck/SUV campers or smaller RV. Driveway leads to gravel parking area (approximately 40' x 40' area) near residence. Electricity and water accessed through garage.

Greetings. I'm a retired attorney and have lived in the driftless area of southwest Wisconsin for nearly 40 years. I can often be found in my yard tending my gardens, planting pollinator friendly flowers and designing new walking or hiking trails. My dog, Mickey, is an Australian Kelpie/Huskie mix and is friendly, energetic and will easily welcome you into her "pack." She and I travel together in a SUV that has been converted to a car camper. When not traveling or gardening, I volunteer my time with a few local non-profit organizations. I would enjoy introducing you to this lovely part of the Midwest which has nearby art communities (Mineral Point & Spring Green), great hiking and biking (Military Ridge Bike Trail), tourist attractions (House on the Rock & Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin), and American Players Theatre, the country’s second largest outdoor theater devoted to the classics. Hope to see you soon.

Carolyn was a welcoming host with a beautiful property. I was pleasantly surprised there was a good Verizon signal. I would most definitely schedule a return visit if I am in the area again in the future.
