    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!!
