This was a great house to host our 8 people over Thanksgiving. The house had everything we needed and was a quick trip into town. The place was very clean and the beds were comfortable.

The home was spacious and perfect for our girls weekend, nestled among the colorful trees on a picturesque wooded lot. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub. Check-in and out was easy. The beds and all furniture were comfortable and well cared for! We would love to return for another visit. The host was responsive and helpful.

House was a great size for the six of us with a beautiful property and back yard. The fire was so nice to have and the hot tub was used almost every minute we were in the home. We loved that every couple had their own kind bed and private bathroom. Every single one of us noted how comfortable the bed is! Which isn’t always the case when traveling. Very close to winery and town. Would come back

The Driftless Haus was perfect for a girls' weekend getaway. We relaxed in the hot tub, accessed the club to swim, and were in close proximity to town for shopping and drinks. It was convenient having a full bath adjacent to each bedroom, well accommodating 7 adults. Peaceful neighborhood and a well-stocked kitchen. The house was comfortable. The living room.seating area was somewhat small for 7 adults to sit and socialize, but not a big deal. We enjoyed our stay!

Quick spring getaway

Typically we are underwhelmed when we rent a house but this place exceeded expectations. I would say they should update the photo of the hot tub because the setting and tub itself is perfect. Wish we were here when it was a little warmer to make better use of the massive wrap around deck.
