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.

We had coffee in morning and dinner in the evening. We appreciate that we could take our dog. He liked the treats Shirley left for him. Shirley made it so easy to there there. Thank you! take our dog with us. He sure like the

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!

A comfortable well appointed house in a perfect location many activities.
We had a great 3 night with our dog at Harwood House while enjoying the state parks on both sides of the river and the Effigy Mounds National Monument. We were also able to walk to downtown Prairie Du Chien as well as the very interesting St. Feriole Island Park and the Mississippi River. The house was perfect for us and exceeded all expectations.

It was perfect for our needs, but after checking out we found that the host had numerous cameras that weren't disclosed on the listing. If you don't want to be watched your entire stay this won't be the place for you.

Harwood house
This house is so cute, clean, cozy and inviting. The screened in porch in the back is heavenly to enjoy in the early morning as you wake up. The game room, sitting room off the kitchen is a fun "get away" and is decorated with such cute added touches, as is the entire home. I will call it a "home" because it "feels" like home. The beds are so comfy you feel like you are being hugged all night. The property is very easy to find and we enjoyed it being away from the busyness of downtown, but easy to get places in a short time. The property is a reflection that Shirley and her husband are great owners and take pride in their home. Shirley and her husband were very hospitable, prompt, friendly, helpful, and concise in their communication with us. They definitely shines in all aspects. We hope to book it again next year.

Quiet Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood, just a few blocks from the river! Shirley was quick to respond to anything we needed. The cottage was clean and decorated nicely! The cottage is centrally located to anywhere you need to go! This was my third stay at a rental property and by far the best. Shirley left a card for us and even treats for our furbaby! I totally recommend this cottage!

Lovely and Comfy Stay
This property is exactly as advertised/described. The host was helpful and kind, the property was neat as a pin and so welcoming - seasonal flowering planter on the porch is a beautiful touch. Other personal touches were also much appreciated...cold bottled water and a water filtering pitcher were ready to go in the fridge, a few convenient snacks were available in the kitchen, and individually wrapped, quality makeup remover wipes were placed in the bathroom. The host left a personal welcome card for us that was such a special touch! We were in town to explore the nearby state parks (WI and IA), the museums/historic sites, and the river area. We would 100% stay here again - and are already considering a future date for different/additional outdoor activities. Thank you for the great accommodations and a lovely stay.
