The prefect getaway in a cute little town. There are a number of scenic drives in the area and many places to go hiking, great local restaurants, as well as beautiful sunrise and sunsets on the river. The house was easy to find, clean and spacious. The host was accommodating and responded quickly to any needs or concerns we had.

Sisters weekend, went back to visit our childhood stomping grounds on the Mississippi River, in a home not a tent or travel trailer. The home was very clean and comfortable. Great location in Prairie Du Chien. Of course we had to stop at Stark’s and Pete’s for a famous burger!

Lovely Weekend Getaway

A lovely place in Prairie du Chien, close to Wyalusing State Park and the Mississippi river. It's a short 10 minute walk from downtown Prairie du Chien, and St. Feriole island, so it's easy to walk around and explore! The place is modern, spacious, and clean, and the king bed was very comfy. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute house and clean. Rachel was great. Further walk to downtown then we expected. Beware if you have thick hair, there's not very much water pressure. Assuming thats a city thing. Futons were surprisingly comfortable. The room upstairs no longer has bunk beds. Its a full and twin with trundle. Kitchen is very nice and fully furnished. Would rent again.

Perfect place for friend groups!

This house worked perfectly for a get-together of 8 friends! It was very clean, towels and blankets were very well-stocked, and the spacious dining room and table were absolutely perfect! The best part is that it's walking distance to St. Feriole Island and to unique shops. Rachel was SUPER responsive whenever I had a question. I would 100% stay at her house again if I'm ever in Prairie du Chien!
