Five stars! This place was exactly what we were looking for. It is highly walkable to downtown with plenty of activities nearby to keep us entertained. There is a nice, close park and public library next door. Also lots of coffee shops, restaurants and shopping steps away. We spent a lot of time just sitting out on the deck enjoying the beautiful space. The host was very communicative and quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely book this property again!

Driftless Loft was a wonderful place to stay! It's quite spacious and was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware and cookware. It's in a fabulous location downtown, steps away from restaurants and shops. The parking spot out back was convenient. The patio has a great view of the bluffs. Due to the weather, we couldn't spend much time out there, but it would be amazing in warmer temps. If we're back in the area, we'd want to stay here again.
