    Comfortable house in Montfort
    We had an enjoyable stay at the Driftless Cottage. Very easy check-in! We enjoyed hanging out in the living room and using the dining room table for games and meals. Great kitchen with everything that you might need. Smart tv and good internet were appreciated. Great place at a great price - thank you!

    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!!
