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!

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.

We came to Sparta to bike the Elroy/Sparta trail. We enjoyed our time in this spacious house. It was clean, beds were comfy and the kitchen has everything needed to cook a meal. There is a bit of traffic noise both on the front porch and during the night. I would recommend bringing a fan or air purifier to drown it out for sleeping.

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.

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.

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.

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,

Very well stocked. The listing didn't mention the great side and back yard. The kiddos loved it. Traffic noise was a negative. We came for the bike rides. Weather was perfect.

What a beautiful house in a nice, convenient area of Sparta. This 100+ year old house had plenty of room and such amazing woodwork. Beds were comfy (there are plenty of them) and it had all the amenities we needed. Gave this 5 stars overall even though there was a glitch in getting in. (Door code didn't work but Eric responded within 15 minutes and met us there.) Only other issue is that this is described as 2 full baths but it's really just 1.5. Only one shower. We made it work easily since there was a second bath and only 2 of us. If you have a lot of people staying there, that could be a consideration. Other than that, a thoroughly enjoyable place to stay. (The pushbutton light switches are pretty cool.)

The property was a perfect fit for our group of 8. We especially loved the dining room table with the gorgeous woodwork throughout. The bathrooms and kitchens were updated to modern for our comfort but the rest of the house felt old-world charming. The whole place really added to our fun get-together. The big TV does not have cable or local TV antenna so be prepared to use your own streaming.

The house was a great place for our family of 6 to getaway for a few days with room to spare. The house is big with beautiful old craftsman wood work. Toys for our young children were a very nice touch. We'd be happy to stay again.

The trails for biking and walking are just a real treat. Wisconsin is so beautiful. The nearby state parks are clean and accessible. The town of Sparta has everything, plus muesums and many local shops. We will be back, bringing family and friends to "The prairie House".

My 2 sisters and I took our mother to Wisconsin for a vacation to celebrate her 85th birthday. This beautiful and roomy property did not disappoint. We enjoyed the screened-in front porch every morning. The woodwork and built-ins have been maintained over the years and are amazing! The house was clean and well kept. I definitely recommend this property for others who are looking for that warm feeling of home.

The property was great and was so spacious for having multiple guests. There were only three of us so it was fabulous. The only downside was that I could hear everything from the street while trying to sleep. I would stay here again for sure.
