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.

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.)

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. We had coffee in morning and dinner in the evening. We appreciate that we could take our dog. He liked the treats Shirley left for him. Shirley made it so easy to there there.
