Charming House

We enjoyed our short visit in this immaculate and tastefully decorated home. The home was well stocked with anything we needed - even people snacks and dog snacks. I loved the enclosed sun porch with the coffee bar! So relaxing in the mornings. Very simple check-in and host was always very timely with replies. This is one of the best VRBO’s I’ve visited and highly recommend staying here.

Versatile Prairie du Chien Home

This clean, comfortable, and well-equipped home is a great place to stay for either an individual, couple, or family. It was the perfect base from which to explore Prairie du Chien, the Upper Mississippi River, and surrounding communities — and to relax after a full day of adventuring.

Nice driftless rendezvous

This is a great place to stay that is close to many attractions in the driftless area. The house is super clean. Lots of places to sit. I found the bed comfy. I didn't do much cooking this time, but the kitchen is nicely appointed if you wanted to. Huge 3-season room should be welcome in the warmer months. Off street parking for 2 vehicles.

Hostess with the Mostest!

I would highly recommend staying here. It seemed like they thought of everything, from snacks and small waters, to a welcome card and make up wipes! The host was also quick to respond anytime I communicated. The only downsides were not having cable to watch football, and a desire for more comfy chairs out in the man cave porch (not pictured).

Great Weekend Stay

We had a lovely time at the Harwood House. The pictures on the website were exactly like the house. Cute as could be ... our favorite room was the sunroom.

Harwood House is a Honey of a house!

We loved our stay at this house. It was our 2nd time and everything was great! Will keep it in mind for future vistis to Prairie du Chien. (Be aware that the stairs to the upper area are fairly steep.)

Great stay!

We recently stayed at this charming cottage and couldn't have been happier with our experience. The property was impeccably clean and offered a comfortable, quiet retreat. Our teens especially loved having their own beds and their loft room, which gave them their own space to relax. The location was perfect—close to all the attractions and amenities Prairie du Chien has to offer. We highly recommend this cottage for anyone seeking a peaceful and stylish place to call home while on vacation. (Yes, the cottage is 1 block from the train tracks, but we didn’t hear the trains after the first day. The trains don’t sound their horns from 10p to 6a. We all slept soundly.)
