Fountain City House | Great River Road - Victorian Historic Home (1898)

5 Bedroom House in Fountain City

Historical Landmark Victorian Home with Panoramic Mississippi River Views!
-----------------------------
Situated at the end of downtown Fountain City, Wisconsin on Great River Road, the 1898 Joseph Fugina House is a charming destination completely (and beautifully) restored with modern conveniences.
As you enter the home, the grand entryway will escort you back in time. The look and feel of this elegantly updated home brings you a sense of tranquil serenity. The living room has comfortable seating with natural light…a perfect spot to read, converse, and play games with family while enjoying panoramic Mississippi River views!
Each of the two ample main-floor bedrooms has a queen size bed, fast Wi-Fi, and TVs in every bedroom/living room. Converse and take in the breathtaking Mississippi river views from the beautiful sun-room living room, or from a second main-floor living room at the front of the house with equally amazing views. With all the windows, you’ll love how comfortable you’ll feel. Super-fast Wifi for multiple streaming/video calls is available for your convenience, just in case you need to check in with the office.
Each second-floor bedroom has its own private bathroom, in-room Keurig coffee maker, fast Wi-Fi, and TVs in every bedroom/living room. The front King Suite features a king bed, seating area, bay windows with cozy window seat, yet more grand views of the Mississippi River, and a tranquil blue (private access) bathroom with shower/tub combination is just down the hall. A second King Suite boasts a king bed framed by windows, with an in-room shower, en-suite bathroom, and sitting area. The last suite features an elegant with four-poster queen bed, en-suite bathroom, full sized closet, and a cozy sitting area which also overlooks the river.
The curved front porch and patios make for easy evening conversation and even more enjoyment of the views of the Mississippi, bluffs, and surrounding area. Two suites upstairs also have access to a charming river-facing second story balcony. Such serenity, you’ll never want to leave!
Both (2 total) kitchens are completely updated with modern appliances and a dining area. The kitchens are fully stocked with all necessary cooking basics (pots, pans, etc.) as well as table service for six.
You will want to fully immerse yourself in the local culture at the Joseph Fugina House. When staying, you will also have access to the backyard deck and propane grill so you’ll really feel at home! Railroad enthusiasts will love this historic railway town, and guests should note that there may be periodic track noise. Watercraft (small and large) are often seen from the home. Look out the window at fishing boats, jet-ski’s, and even large cargo barges – such a cool sight! Small town charm and a host of coffee shops, galleries and tasty eateries are just a few of the gems you’ll find downtown.

Review Score:   6
Summary: The place was very nice and charming, and the host seemed very friendly in their messages. The only problem was the listing said that both living rooms had pull out couches but neither of them did. This means the place has several less beds that what is listed, which could be a very big issue as their listing suggests a higher number of people could stay there then the place actually supports. This caused problems with my group as several people had to share beds who initially had no plans to do so.
