About this house rental
Welcome to Becwar House, a completely renovated and improved home that was built in 1905 and owned by our family since 1951. After purchasing the property from my family in July, 2020, I spent a full year renovating every room, bringing a refreshed look while maintaining the comfortable feel and character of an older family home.
The space
Improvements to the house included the removal of old space consuming radiators and the installation of a new state-of-the-art heating and cooling system, particularly designed for older homes. The new open floor plan on the first level is great for larger groups or families. You will also find many other modern conveniences of home:
• Fully stocked kitchen
• Free WiFI
• Washer/Dryer
• Comfortable beds
• Multiple spaces to gather in both large or small group settings
Guest access
AREA ATTRACTIONS
• Mississippi River – Becwar House is only two blocks from the river, with
access to a playground, picnic shelter, kayak and canoe rentals, and boat
launches
• Religious Services – St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church is across the street.
Also, the grade school playground is on the same block
• Downtown business area is within easy walking distance - 5 blocks

It even includes a coffee station with free coffee (caffeinated and de-caffeinated) and filters, tea, condiments, and device recharging receptacles (4 USBs) and cable.

Everything was great! This is a fantastic place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone.

Very clean and nice accomodations. Quiet neighborhood. Nice to find 4 bedrooms at a fair price with a dining room table big enough to accomodate all of us. Nicely stocked kitchen. Only suggestion might be to have an extra hand rail section at the top of the stairwell to aid us "seniors".

We came for the Prairie Dog Bluesfest and found so much more. A beautiful town with many activities and lovely people.

The house was just right for our 4-sister getaway. It was a delightful step back in time as it reminded us of an old country farmhouse from our youth, yet had been decorated and updated to be very comfortable and enjoyable for our 3-day stay. Good attention to everything needed for guests and yet gave us plenty of room for our own supplies/luggage. We enjoyed the neighborhood for a walk and the closeness to shopping and restaurants and also Pike's Peak State Park. Loved it and will stay here again if we choose this area for our next get together!!!

A perfect spot for my wife and I to meet up with our children for her father’s 90th birthday party. One of most well stocked vacation rentals we have ever stayed in and a super convenient location close to the water and downtown Prairie.
Bookmarked for next time!

House was perfect. Great updates to entire home. Creaky stairs and doors reminded us of our childhood home, in a good way. Beds were comfy. Plenty of room for all of us.

We really enjoyed the house and especially the fact that the sheets and towels were cotton and not microfiber. Even though it is an older home the air conditioning was excellent and reached the upstairs bedroom. We were grateful for the coffee and other groceries on hand since we arrived pretty late on Friday night. Thank you

We took a few days' vacation to the Driftless area. We have six children and needed a house conveniently located with plenty of space to relax after a day of being out and about. This house is nicely updated while still retaining the charm of an older house. The mattresses were comfortable. The space fit us well. Across the street, the Roman Catholic church has a basketball court in the parking lot. We enjoyed that in the evenings and the tennis courts that the town has further south in the town. I would be happy to stay here again!
