Cute Cottage in a nice small town
We had a wonderful trip to Montfort. This house was clean, charmingly decorated and comfortable. Instructions for checking in were clear, and the host was very responsive in helping me add an additional night to our stay. While it's a tiny town, the cottage was nicely situated near a public school and just down the street from a bar and grill with excellent burgers.

Roomy, Yet Cozy Cottage
We definitely enjoyed our stay at the Driftless Cottage. The house was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and felt like home. Everything was as described in the listing, and it was great to have an equipped kitchen and washer/dryer to cook a few meals, and do some laundry. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed the small town environment and overall amenities of the Driftless Cottage. The guest book was very helpful and the kids loved the bunk bed. It was also nice to not have to worry about laundry at the end of the stay!!! We did not have time to swim, but the Expedia page does show a communist pool is available somewhere. Adding the address would be helpful for if we stay again!!

Montfort home
Stayed here for a ladies weekend. Charming old home in the town of Montfort. We hiked at Governor Dodge and Blue Mound state park. Two suggestions would be a bigger couch (sectional?) and we did not realize top bunk was for someone less than 140 lbs so we had to improvise our sleeping arrangements.

We enjoyed the location because we were visiting several towns in the area. The house was fully stocked with really nice touches, including good reading materials, cloth napkins and tea. We hope to return!
