Great location

Visiting family. House has plenty of room and the front porch was our favorite spot - great for visiting with family or just enjoying quiet time in the morning with your coffee. Location was good - there is a park just a block down the street that the kids enjoyed.

Love the Place!

Great place to stay! We enjoyed the charm of the Prairie House! Eric (owner) was very friendly and explained some of the history of the house. There were 6 adults for our stay....plenty of room. Fun time sitting on the porch, either for morning coffee or a beverage for happy hour in the afternoon. We enjoyed the bike trails so it sure was nice to be located so close. All in our group were very complimentary with our stay.

M-K nurses class of 1965 love to gather here

For the past three years we have been gathering at this home to renew old friendships and make new memories. The home is very comfortable and after our first visit we all said “let’s do this again!” It is a quiet little town and a very accommodating host. We shall return I highly recommend this VRBO.

Beautiful Home

We had a great time in Sparta--Biked the trail twice. We had a great meal at Fox Hole restaurant and great breakfast at Dorines. The house was great--everything you need. The owner brought us a gas grill which was great. Nice we could put the bikes in the garage overnight,

Well equipped historic home

9 friends gathered for four days of sewing and socializing. The well kept home is " prairie style"; equipped with all the necessities and very clean! The home is within walking distance of downtown shopping and a few restaurants. This is our 5th annual stay with plans again for next year!

Relaxing place to gather

This is the second time we 80 year old nurses have gathered to share memories in Sparta. This old home reminds us of our days at Edith Mayo while nursing students in Rochester back in the 60s It’s immaculately maintained Eric is easy to work with and we took a vote it unanimous “We Shall Return!”

The Knives Were Sharp

The knives were sharp, need I say more? That's the attention to detail which this property owner seems to put into the property. It was clean, tidy, and the things you want to be there are there (quality towels, decent kitchen stuff, etc.). HVAC was great. No noise comes in from outside as the building construction is incredibly solid. Thank you!

Prairie Home

This was our second visit. We came to do the Sparta/Elroy bike tunnels. We had a great time walking through the long tunnel and coming out into a pouring rain. Came back to a hot shower, good dinner and a fantastic family game of "Pictionary". We'd planned an outdoor fire, but it was raining. What a great place. There was everything there for a family group.

Ooolllld home needs work

First impression wasn’t good. Outside needs work. 10” dandelions all over the lawn when we drove up to the property. Walked into the house and was greeted with a terrible odor of old home and not sure what else. Lighting is not good in key areas. Light over the stove doesn’t work. Disgustingly gross. The floors creek but I’m ok with that. Dead mouse in the garage can that was rotting was terrible. Found that out on checkout day. We did not go through a single garage bag besides that one on checkout day which tells me the cleaning is suspicious. The shower is moldy. There is only a 1.5 bath. The 1/2 bath is really small and barely useable. The main bathroom has a shower and a bath tub. The door for the shower doesn’t stay closed for showering. My 88 year old parents were with my family so they just rolled with the show. I think they loved the character of the place but they thought it was way overpriced for 2 days.. I loved the community amenities like local shopping and grocery. Only street parking if you have a larger vehicle. A small car is fine for the driveway. No local tv, only streaming for Netflix. Very disappointing stay.

Close to bike trail

We selected this property so we could ride directly to the Sparta-Elroy bike trail. It is a nice prairie style house with beautiful wood accents and fully stocked with cooking accessories and serving dinner ware. The house was surface-clean but kinda dirty in the corners, etc. The only akward thing was that there are no blinds on the windows and that beautiful dining room shines brightly from the street of a very busy corner. Makes you feel like you’re sitting in a storefront. The neighborhood is very small town Wisconsin with a struggling economy. One diner in town for breakfast but not a lot else. There are, however with really nice places for dinner a 30-minute drive away in LaCrosse. The bike trail was great- we rode 20 miles one way one day and 30 to Elroy the other and crossed through one of the iconic tunnels. Lots of other outdoor options near LaCrosse.
