Wonderful place
Quiet neighborhood, close to everything. Very enjoyable stuff.
Thanks for the review with the positive response however was a 1 star your rating ? If so what can I do to increase ratings for a future renter. Thank you Allen Cejka
Great house better than a hotel
Good
Hammock?
Nice but yard concerned us a bit...rodents?
Very convenient for my whole family
It was great to have a property like this to stay in while in town for a local wedding. Instead of renting two hotel rooms, my adult children and I could all stay together, have our own bedrooms, and all the convenience of a full kitchen to cook breakfast, be able to hang out together in the living room, etc. everything we needed was there. Bought groceries at the nearby store, and we’re all set!
Nice place
Worked well for our needs. Owner was very helpful. Only problem was many of the kitchen cabinets were full of spider webs. The house was otherwise clean and dusted, so maybe a recent spider invasion?
Map
Prairie du Chien is know for the Historic Dousman House 'The Villa Louis' One of Wisconsin's first Wealthy Families,
Near the Villa, is a full size replica of the First Fort Crawford with stone markings of the other buildings in the compound.
Prairie du Chien was the yearly gathering place for the Indians and Fur traders to meet. There is a reenactment of the camp and the life style of the settlers and the Indians every year.
The war of 1812 was also fought in Prairie du Chien... There is a re enactment of the battle every year as well
It is a River resort town with the Mississippi and the Wisconsin Rivers on two of its sides. It is located in a valley along the Mississippi River and the Wisconsin River.
There are three major parks with in 15 miles of Prairie du Chien. On the Wiconsin side of the River There is Wyalusing Park overlooking the Wisconsin and Mississippi River. Great Views and activities going on all season. On the Iowa side of the River is the Pikes Peak Park and Effigy Mounds. Both have different and interesting activities for all ages and all seasons. Both have views of the Mississippi River. Also on the Iowa side of the river is 'Lady Luck' the River Gambling Casino...Three floors of a variety of card and slot machine choices....One floor is non Smoking.
If your interested in Hamburgers... 'Pete's Hamburgers ' is a must. Not your usual cooking style. The grilled onions are a must.
Along with these local places to keep you interested The River, Boat rentals, and other water activities are an ongoing must do project. You can bring you own boat or rent one. My rental space has parking for 6 to 8 single car units.
Other thing to do 30 to 60 miles away would be Cassville Wi. a restored turn of the century ' small town' to visit. Also Governor Dodge park with the House on the Rock and museum: a
day trip will occupy your time here. There is also spring Green ...Frank Lloyd Wrights... Compound. This one may need reservations far in advance to get in.
There are also Dog races and another Casino in Dubuque Iowa just 60 + miles. Platteville, Wi A college town and a lead Mining exhibit. Dickeville A' Grotto 'to visit
Prairie du Chien is on the Great River Road with lot's of Views and vistas with many Eagles to watch along the way
Many small town along the river on the Wisconsin and Iowa side have antique shops and town halls and other buildings of interest.
Mineral point is also a mining town about 40 miles away with the Pendarvis house as an attraction also Shake rag village.
