This was a great place to stay and the location is perfect. Very central to so many things to see and do. Excellent curb appeal that carries throughout the house as well. Sandy was great and do not miss staying here- you won't be disappointed.

This property is fantastic. A very clean and cozy home. Pet friendly if you have a pet. The only thing I did not enjoy was how close the train is. No fault of the wonderful owner, whatsoever. Would stay again, if in the area. 100% would recommend.

Very clean & well cared for home. Nice decor - warm & friendly. Trains a bit noisy but not overwhelming. The shower head could be a bit softer and the shower curtain is a bit short allowing outer curtain and floor to get wet. I’d suggest some longer hooks that would lower it a bit. Hate to see your floor get damaged over time. We enjoyed our stay.

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.)
