Warm, spacious prairie style home with all the comforts of your home.

We invite you to come & enjoy our century old prairie style craftsman home. Our family has enjoyed bringing new life to this comfortable, spacious and historic house. Once here you'll find beautiful beamed ceilings, and handcrafted woodwork so reminiscent of this style.

Prairie House offers a wonderful space for your family gatherings, meetings, retreats, crafting, special events or vacation relaxation.

There are accommodations for up to nine in 3 large bedrooms each with a queen and a twin bed. Off the master bedroom is a half bath and and a full bath with new shower and a soaking tub are accessible to all. Linens and towels are provided and a new on demand water heater provides limitless hot water.

Our dining room seats 10 with additional tables and chairs on site if needed. Tableware, flatware, stemware are in ample supply. The kitchen is fully equipped with utensils, cookware, bakeware, coffee maker and small appliances. New electric range, microwave, large refrigerator with ice maker and dishwasher were added in 2014. We also have menus from many great local eateries for dining, carryout or delivery options.
Enjoy the scenic window seat or one of the comfortable sofas/chairs in the spacious living room while you enjoy each others company, play games or catch your favorite show on the flat screen. You can also stream videos or play games on your own devices via our high speed WIFI.
Connecting the living and dining areas is a relaxing sitting room, perfect for reading or quiet conversation.

Morning coffee, refreshing lunches or evening relaxation can be enjoyed in the large shaded screened porch.

Off street parking for 2 cars and ample on street parking is available. Use of the garage for secured storage of bikes and your outdoor gear can be provided upon advance request at no additional charge.

The house has been newly landscaped and offers a large side yard for outdoor play/activity.

Sparta is a quiet small town with a lot to offer. For the bicycle enthusiast we are the Bicycling Capital of America. Whether you bring your own bikes or rent them you will have easy access to 100's of miles of scenic rail beds including several historic tunnels. For the motorcyclists we are part of the Driftless Region of hilly, winding country roads.

During the warmer months Sparta has the 18 hole River Run golf course and a new city aquatic center with a zero entry pool, giant slide and lazy river. There are also canoeing and kayaking opportunities on several nearby waterways. The Mississippi River is just 30 minutes away with its majestic scenery and river boats.

We are also home to Fort McCoy, an active Army training base, complete with its museums. During the winter it also has a small skiing/tubing hill open to the public.
More information on Amish tours, local museums, shopping opportunities and special events is available from the Sparta Chamber of Commerce.

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,

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!”

Good place to Regroup
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.

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.

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.

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!
