We spent three days at this cozy home for a girls trip. It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy ourselves. Plenty of space and all of the bedrooms were very cute with the most comfortable beds and bedding. It is located right downtown so, even in winter, we could walk to shops, coffee and dinner. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay here. Most of the rentals we have stayed in were more rural, and I was a little afraid it would be too noisy, but that wasn't the situation.

Great Getaway!

The “Holy Cow” house is a charming home and very comfortable. Very easy to walk downtown for shopping and food. Terry was a wonderful host, and even had some cookies waiting for us from the local bakery. We would definitely recommend staying here when visiting New Glarus.
