About this property

A stone's throw from the River, this amazing property won't disappoint!

Just steps from the mighty Mississippi River, this spacious vacation home offers plenty of room to relax, gather, and enjoy everything Prairie du Chien has to offer—both indoors and out.
Two large decks showcase beautiful views of the river and limestone bluffs, while a cozy screened-in porch and unique fire pit area provide even more space to unwind. Firewood is included. In the evening, the upper deck comes alive with the warm glow of tabletop torches, creating the perfect setting for dinner, drinks, conversation, or a quiet summer night outdoors.
Inside, you’ll find a spacious open-concept kitchen and living area, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a full laundry area. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, glassware, silverware, cookware, utensils, a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, stove, and dishwasher. Thoughtful extras including a bottle opener, corkscrew, dish soap, dish towels, and laundry detergent are also provided.
The property offers ample private parking for up to four vehicles. Restaurants, bars, and a marina are all within easy walking distance, and overnight boat slips are available at two nearby locations—making this an especially convenient home base for guests bringing a boat or planning to spend time on the river.
Whether you’re planning a family getaway, couples’ weekend, or trip with friends, there’s plenty to experience nearby. Enjoy boating, fishing, hunting, hiking, historic landmarks, downtown shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. Local attractions include Villa Louis, Fort Crawford Museum, Dousman House, Pikes Peak State Park, Effigy Mounds, and Wyalusing State Park.
Summer brings live music at downtown bars and restaurants along with Music in the Park on Thursday evenings. Golfers have two courses within eight miles, including Prairie du Chien Country Club and Barnyard 9. Fall is especially beautiful, when the surrounding bluffs explode with color and reflect across the Mississippi River. Visit a local apple orchard, take a scenic hayride through the colorful bluffs, or simply relax on the deck and take in the view.
No matter the season, this home puts you close to the river, scenery, entertainment, and some of the best experiences the Driftless Area has to offer.

We enjoyed our stay! Jess was very fast with any questions we had. We enjoyed both patios and the fire pit area. The screened in porch was a bonus once the mosquitos came out. It was close to the landing to put our boat in and within walking distance to several bars/restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Perfect place for our annual cousins camping trip! The

We went with a vrbo in Prairie du Chien so that we weren’t camping. The air conditioning and comfortable space for 5 of us was amazing on the very hot weekend. We spent our days at Wyalusing State Park and then Effigy Mounds and Pike’s Peak State Park in Iowa. It was the perfect place to come back to with comfy beds and a camp fire for my nieces, nephew and husband. Husband only wished it was closer to the water to throw out a line and try cat fishing with the kids. We were all very happy with the space and location!
