Comfort & Elegance in a Historic La Crosse, Wisconsin Mansion

Recommended to have dish towels and washcloths in the kitchen area for washing dishes

Lots of space yet very cozy for a friends weekend! The location was perfect, a close walking distance to downtown.We forgot a few items, including some treasures jewelry and the property was quick to respond and return our items to us. Every room having its own bathroom was a plus, and everything was clean! The only thing missing were a few handy extra items in the kitchen; dish towels, dish rags, foil/plastic wrap. We had a wonderful stay!

Nice for family gathering. Close to downtown.

Beautiful Mansion in a great location! The remodel was done very well - extremely comfortable; hard to believe it is 140 years old. We were honored to share in the history of this amazing home.

The Cargill Pettibone Mansion was beautiful! Plenty of space for a large group. The house had so much character and history. It is in a good location, within walking distance to downtown. The hosts had great communication and accommodated parking with the snow fall. We visited Sweet Beats for jazz during our stay, will definitely be going back! Thanks!

Great communication with hostBeautiful historic home. Wonderful place to stay with a group.

The house is very historic and has great amenities!

Host was quick to respond to all my questions. Loved the big kitchen, the house is very quiet at night. Thank you for having the big Christmas tree.

Yes, very welcoming

Amazing place that accommodated our party of 7Convenient location Had everything we needed

We had a girls weekend in La Crosse this year. The property was beautiful if you enjoy older homes. We loved reading the history about the mansion and the people who lived there. It was great to each have our own bathroom to use. The dining room table was large enough for the nine of us to play games. The kitchen was equipped with all that we needed. It was close enough to walk to the downtown. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property.

Loved the home! Perfect girls weekend!

This house was perfect! It was super clean and well stocked, it had everything we needed and even additional perks like coffee/creamer and snacks! The host was easy to work with and check in was a breeze and the checkout was super easy where we were not required to do a ton before we left!

Thia was the PERFECT space for our family! Cannot recommend enough!

The owners were super accommodating for my wedding day. I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a vintage stay! Its so cool that all of the bedrooms have their own bathroom!

Everything was great! Plenty of space for all of us. What we did miss was things we have had in other VRBOs such as paper towel, paper plates, tin foil etc... basic kitchen supplies. So be sure to pack all of that type of stuff. Other than that it was a really beautiful place

The kitchen was well equipped, though only one larger fry pan was a little disappointing. We really appreciated that you had wine glasses! The one drawback was the fireplace bedroom had an issue where none of the outlets worked and that mattress was not good--very soft and bouncy.

This was the perfect location for our group. It was clean, spacious and the kitchen was well stocked. The host was friendly and got back to us quickly when we had questions.

We loved the historic beauty of the house, very unique. Unfortunately there were a number of homeless people on the same street, sad situation. The property and home has quite the charm though and a museum quality feel with modern comfortable touches.

The house exceeded our expectations! It was beautifully restored and it was fun to view all the pictures and items of years gone by. Enjoyed reading about the history of the place.Perfect location. We walked to many of our events. Will definitely book this place next time we're in Lacrosse!!

Property was exactly as described and pictured. The host was responsive.

location was perfect !! we moved our daughter to start a 5 week rotation at the hospital

We enjoyed immensely! Historical and lovely. Nicely furnished and clean and comfortable!

The renovation of the home is so nicely done. They have anticipated the needs of the renters with amazing accuracy. Ample space for all.

Good kitchen, comfortable beds, clean and well appointed

Everything was great for us, we needed a place to stay for one night and thought why not try something other than a hotel. We enjoyed looking at the history of the house and how it came back to life. Obviously, it was much more than two people needed, but it was nice to stay in such a grand place. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location was great, we lived in the La Crosse area for 20 years so it was nice to be back.

Amazing house, great location, excellent host!

We were planning to tour the Lacrosse campus with our two daughters and thought why not make the trip a little more fun and stay in this historic building. It was a very cool building. A few areas of the house that could use a little better cleaning, but the beds were very comfy, the kitchen had all you could need and it easy to check in and out.

Thanks for a very nice stay. Joe

Loved the multiple spaces, especially the outdoor spaces...

We are 4 women in our eighties who have been friends since grade school. We take an annual 4 day trip each summer. This year we wanted to learn about the Driftless area of southern MN and WI. The mansion in La Crosse was the perfect home base for exploring the area. We enjoyed our stay at the Cargill-Pettibone mansion. Lots of room and nice accommodations. We would definitely recommend it to a larger group.

We all had a great time! Beautiful place! Highly recommend.

Very nice property with lots of historical significance. Great to have en suite for each bedroom, beautiful large porch to recap the day and plan for tomorrow over a glass of wine, nice kitchen and lots of room to spread out. We enjoyed our stay!

Gorgeous place!

House was amazing and was exactly as advertised. Would definitely stay again.

The house is lovely, historic and well furnished. We spent as very comfortable weekend (12 adults) and enjoyed our time in the house as much as we did in the lovely town of LaCrosse.

Loved the history of the property plus the modern amenities and updates!

Beautiful house and the history behind its years since built was great! What we could not locate displayed within the house we were able to find it online!Great house!!

Beautiful house! Limited parking, on street only many areas marked 2 hour only.

This well-preserved mansion is a look into a bygone lifestyle of a prosperous La Crosse family at the end of the 1800s. The floors alone tell a story of opulance.

This property offers a great space for collaboration and team building.

Several of us originally from LaCrosse, gathered for a holiday get together, as my elderly mom lives in town. Plenty of nice space for all of us to gather, with comfortable furniture, and a half bath on first floor. Beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking our holiday meal. Matthew has been extremely easy to work with and helpful. The only suggestions I would have is there was very little toilet paper in house, which i feel was an oversight due to everything else being available. Additional towels and wash cloths were available, but we needed to hunt for them. lol! Big house with lots of rooms and closets, etc. Would highly recommend this property.

As advertised. It was what VRBO said it would be. Clean. All the essentials there. Excellent location. Three block walk to Christmas Mass. All the bedrooms we used were ensuite ( great feature). Spacious dining areas. Historical artifacts. Comfortable. We were living in history. The space would have been more than adequate for our family group of eight. The three coming from New York state were last minute cancels due to weather problems, so five of us really had space! This property could handle a group twice our size. Hardly the host's problem and we liked our stay so much it bothered us not at all. Particularly suited to family groups. Bill Leonard

The property worked out great for 4 of us that were in town for a business opportunity at the Mayo. Rather than 4 hotel rooms it was a great retreat to socialize and make meals etc. Location was great!

What a wonderful home for us to bring are adult children together at for a weekend in LaCrosse. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious. The kitchen if excellent for making a family meal. The piano was an added surprise! Thanks Matt! We hope to be back!

Excellent historic propert great location. Cozy kitchen / family room connect

This was the perfect place for 5 UW-La Crosse alumni to spend a few days. After not seeing each other for 50 years, we spent a lot of time talking on the porch, in the kitchen, and the living areas. We walked to UW-L and downtown. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen well-stocked.

Wonderful fall getaway! Great location!

The house is beautifully restored! Reading its history in the provided binder made us appreciate the restoration process even more because of the modern amenities, such as a bathroom with each bedroom, and the modern kitchen. The house gives you a feel for life in a previous era because of the way it is decorated with a mix of modern and period pieces. It is roomy yet extremely comfortable and would comfortably house 10 - 12 people. Just visiting out on the wrap around porch is a delightful experience. We definitely look forward to staying here again. Our only suggestions would be to provide kitchen towels and dishcloths rather than using paper towels, plus more hand towels in the bathrooms. Replacing the unappealing, rather dirty scatter rug as you enter the house would make it a more inviting welcome.

I absolutely loved this house and all of its charm. It was super welcoming and comfortable.

We picked this house because it had large rooms to gather in as a family and it didn’t disappoint. The wrap-around porch also offered a nice outdoor space. The house was beautiful renovated to period times and we enjoyed reading the article in the book about it. Checkin Nd out were all clear and easy.

Staying at this house changed our itinerary … because we spent so much time going from room to room saying, “Can you believe how great this is?” The home lives up to the description and is more impressive than the pictures online. It has been lovingly restored. The bathrooms have a vintage look but are large and wonderfully appointed. Everyone got a great night's sleep; the bedrooms made us feel as though we were staying at Downton Abbey. We enjoyed watching Olympic highlights on the wall mounted TV in the game room. We didn't really use the kitchen, but it is modern and super well equipped. Will absolutely try to stay at this wonderful house again!

This property was stunning and we felt very welcomed. We gathered to celebrate my sister in La Crosse and this home was the perfect spot to do so. The home itself has a lot of character and notes about the history throughout. It was large enough to house all nine of us. It was also within walking distance of food and shopping which we appreciated.
