I have stayed in many VRBO houses, but this one is at the very top of my list! The minute that you step into the living area, you are hit with spectacular views of the Mississippi River. The living area and fireplace are so warm and inviting. The kitchen is large and easily accommodates 2-3 cooks working at once. There are plenty of dishes, pot and pans and such. There are two big grocery stores in Prairie du Chien just 20-25 miles away. We went there for lunch, and then explored a bit before shopping on the way out of town.
There are three bedrooms, each with a bathroom. Each bedroom is on their own floor, which makes for privacy and relaxation. Downstairs is a big tv and comfy couches, where we enjoyed watching a movie during a summer rain.
We explored the small town of Lansing, Iowa, nearby, too. Don’t miss the Horsfall Variety Store! It is hard to describe it, but lots of fun to check out! I literally got lost in it. Afterwards, we stopped for ice cream, right before the bridge on our way out of town.
Overall, the home was peaceful, relaxing and the views are wonderful!! We watched barges, eagles, and just river life in general. Our favorite place to sit and watch the river, or watch storms come in, was from two recliners they put facing the big windows. Curl up with a good book, and enjoy!
All in all, we’d stay here again in a heartbeat. The owner and property manager were the nicest and most communicative of any I’ve ever dealt with! This house is a 10 out of 10!
