Welcome!

Left unscathed during the last Ice Age, the Driftless Area of Wisconsin has some of the most dramatic landforms and scenery in Wisconsin.  From deeply cut creek beds to towering bluffs overlooking lush valleys, the area is  sight to behold. 

Surrounded by oak canopies and century farms, Latarnia Guest House is perched above the Mississippi River providing an incredible view of the valleys, rivers, the Iowa and Minnesota bluffs. 

Located just 45 minutes from La Crosse, 3 1/2 hours from Minneapolis and 4 hours from Chicago, Latarnia Guest House is a place of rest and rejuvenation; a perfect place to unplug and unwind. 

Whether you want to tour local farms, enjoy fishing the many lakes and rivers, partake in the silent sports, visit distilleries and wineries, experience nightly live music venues, or shop locally owned small stores, you will find something that makes your heart happy. You will quickly discover why people from all over the country are coming here to stay.

At the Lighthouse, we celebrate seasonal, local and organic foods as much as possible. 

Our classes are hands-on in a fun, low-key home setting. We restrict class sizes to 6 so each participant receives individual instruction, and you will get recipes to take home.

Where possible, recipes can be adapted to vegetarian or gluten-free diets. 

We start each class with a short discussion of the history of the recipe (and adaptations where possible), we all join in on the production and after we're done, we sit and eat communally. 

These classes are a perfect way to spend time together with a child, a significant other, or a bestie!

Our sauna and firepit are complimentary to our overnight guests. 

We offer rental of our Finnish Sauna in 90 minute sessions to non-guests  

We offer lessons designed to improve your casting whether you're a beginner or someone who just needs to brush up on their current skills before heading to one of the many trout streams in the area.
