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.

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.

Well equipped historic home
9 friends gathered for four days of sewing and socializing. The well kept home is " prairie style"; equipped with all the necessities and very clean! The home is within walking distance of downtown shopping and a few restaurants. This is our 5th annual stay with plans again for next year!

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.

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.
