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.

Great stay!
We recently stayed at this charming cottage and couldn't have been happier with our experience. The property was impeccably clean and offered a comfortable, quiet retreat. Our teens especially loved having their own beds and their loft room, which gave them their own space to relax. The location was perfect—close to all the attractions and amenities Prairie du Chien has to offer. We highly recommend this cottage for anyone seeking a peaceful and stylish place to call home while on vacation. (Yes, the cottage is 1 block from the train tracks, but we didn’t hear the trains after the first day. The trains don’t sound their horns from 10p to 6a. We all slept soundly.)

Wonderful little house for cozy stay. Clean and comfortable. Had all the amenities you would expect to find in a quality hotel. Quite neighborhood except for an occasional train passing through on the tracks a block or two away.

This little house is so cute and decorated so wonderfully. It has a cottage vibe. Has everything you need to stay for a few days and longer. The fridge is small so if you are staying longer time frame, it may not hold everything you need. It worked for our needs! Our hostess was very easy to work with and the communication was great. Comfortable beds for sleeping, nice size shower and the four seasons room is great for relaxing. There are rail road tracks close by but we were able to sleep through most of the trains that came through. I highly recommend this place and will book it again!

Nice Comfortable Stay At An Adorable House
What a nice, cute, comfortable house! I had such a great sleep here, which is so important to me when I stay away from home to attend an event or sight see in an area. I need energy for the day! I did not know this house was dog friendly! Really cute, welcoming set up for your pooch. Convenient location to head out of town if you're checking out the surrounding area. This house is close to a train track, so there is train noise and vibration, but that didn't bother me. I loved my stay here, and would definitely stay here again.

Just what we needed
We were in the area for a wedding. The house was great with enough room for all 4 of us to spread out and get ready, so much better than a hotel room.
The only downside is that it's close to the active and very busy railroad tracks, but that would not dissuade us from staying here again.
Thank you, Shirley!
