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.

For the price, this home was beyond perfect for 3 couples! Each room has its own bathroom and king size bed, making it perfect to split between three couple for a parents weekend away. We loved having the hot tub for our winter stay too. House was very clean and cute. We will definitely be booking with Brian again in the future!

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.

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!

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
