This is a clean and comfortable place in the heart of the driftless area. I've been a guest 3 times, and have nothing but good to say about the house and the communication. The area has so much to offer for the outdoors types, and this has been a cozy place to return to.

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.
