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.)

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.
