ABOUT
Hi! We're Matt, Chanté, with dogs, Aspen and Minerva, and we would like to welcome you to The Prairie House! We hope to be your hosts on your next Pepin, WI visit. We have two cozy rooms that we rent out within our home. Our house is one of the original farmhouses in the area, showing up on tax records as far back as the mid-1800s. This house is one of the houses that would have been standing when Laura Ingalls Wilder lived in the area. Our home has a lot of unique charms to it, and we are currently working to make upgrades along the way.
No Animals
Due to being a homeshare and the fact that Aspen and Minerva dogs live here, we do not allow animals in our rooms.
THE ROOMS
We have two rooms for you to choose from. The "Queen Room" has one queen bed with an optional futon chair to sleep up to three people. While the "Twin Room" has two twin beds to comfortably sleep two people. Both rooms share a first-floor bathroom.
