Enjoy the beautiful drives along the river on both the Wisconsin and Minnesota side.
It has been beautifully updated and spacious place to enjoy with the company you are with. The only thing that was deceiving is the steep hill you have to walk up in order to get in. It was difficult for myself with arthritis in my hips. Also, the beds on the top level are as hard as a rock. Other than those 2 things it was extremely enjoyable weekend. We would stay again.
Great stay, amazing view. So happy to have everyone in one spot for Christmas. Thanks !
We had a fabulous weekend getaway with WSU college friends & spouses! The house has amazing views of the river! There was great bedrooms & bathrooms! All of the amenities available. Scott was responsive via messenger. We would definitely stay here again!
This house was everything we needed and more. We loved the screened in porch overlooking the river - this is where we spent most of our time. There was plenty of space in the house for people to play card/board games. The beds were great - everyone slept well. The house has 3 floors and 5 bedrooms - everyone had plenty of space. We ate at a place minutes away (Eagle View Bar & Grill) and the food was delicious. If our trip was longer, we would have gone on walks around the neighborhood - it's a beautiful area. We will be back!
The house space and views are great. The cleanliness, supplies, walkway and railing to the house very disappointing. There were ants everywhere. After buying ant traps they were gone in 12 hours but that should have been supplied. Towels supplied for just 2 people. We had to rummage in the closets for more and they appeared to be cleaning towels. Refrigerator was empty but dirty. Window sills and screened porch were dirty. Walk up to the house very steep and steps small and railing was not adequately secured. We also bought more wine glasses (not enough for the 5 of us) at Dollar Store. Very disappointing but such a promising house.
Scott was very attentive. The air conditioning went out over night the first night of our 2 night stay. He had someone out to fix it by dinner. It was a little awkward having strange men coming in and out during our stay and in the middle of dinner, but it got fixed which was appreciated. The reviews of the uncleanliness, sadly were very accurate. Also very outdated. But we enjoyed our family time and there was plenty of room. Also extremely steep gravel and grass driveway as others have mentioned. Difficult for our mom with a cane to maneuver, but we managed to get her in and out. Wish I had read the reviews prior to booking.
The owner was great the house was lager and better than expected. We had a total of 10 guests and there was accomodations for everyone. I would book it again!
Perfect location for a Winona exploration.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place had beautiful view and was close to many State parks.
Some friends and I played board games all weekend everything worked great.
Beautiful views with ample space to enjoy ourselves.
We had a great time at Scott's place! Very comfortable, beautiful views and wonderful friends! Thanks Scott!
This home provides lots of space and has a beautiful vantage overlooking the Mississippi. The only disappointment we found was that we could not use some of the outside amenities, the Weber grill had a mouse nest inside and the patio and screened porch were not useable due to the significant presence of hornets. There was also a large number of dead ladybugs everywhere in the home. Overall these were minor issues, the home presents comfortable space capable of hosting a large number of people.
This place is great for a large group get together. The deck and screen porch are spacious, and the open concept living/kitchen/dining rooms are the perfect set up for everyone being together. Large windows allowed us to see many bald eagles soaring and nesting right next to the house. There were a fair number of Asian beetles throughout the house, but I suppose that just comes with springtime in a rural home. The large dining table allowed all 10 of us to play games together, and there were plenty of outdoor chairs provided.
Great view and great location
Beautiful location! The house was very clean and comfortable! If you enjoy river life and an awesome view of the river this is the spot for you!
Good rental experience.
We loved this stay for our inter generational stay! The stairs are no joke, but manageable for our 85-year-old who loved the main floor sweet… and taking her time getting into the property. It was all worth it for the amazing incredible views of the River and the warm home for our family stay. The space was great, bathrooms great, kitchen great! The balconies and screened in porch made it absolutely fabulous! Stay here!
We had three family's stay here and one family visit in the evenings. There was plenty of room for all of us and it was close enough to White Water state park were we did some hiking and fishing. Scott was very quick to respond to all my questions which I appreciated.
Fantastic views and superb amenities. Couldn't ask for more!
My sister and I stayed here with our adult children's families to go to a nearby family wedding. Clean and nice furnishings. Only downside, the driveway is steep and then climb stairs to main floor. But the view was great of Mississippi River. Would consider again if back in the area
Very nice property, especially for the price. Had most everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of room to sped out with 7 daughters. Pool table in the basement definitely got some use. The location was almost exactly between Wabash and Winona (18 min either way). Loved the view of the Mississippi River for the decks and 3 season porch. So things that would be nice improvements: Better grill Window blinds need to be replaced in multiple rooms. New toaster I know TVs aren’t always the most important thing but the one in the basement was practically useless. These aren’t really complaints because for the price point it was a great deal for that much space and great location. These just suggestions to make the next guests stay more pleasant.
We five sisters gather annually for a weekend together. This property works so well for us as each sister then is able to have her own bedroom. This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property. The number of restrooms works well. The views are outstanding! The screened porch is awesome. Great to to have the deck as well. The kitchen is quite well equipped. Love the high table to sit around. The center island is great! The morning sunshine coming in across the river is breathtaking. The only downside is the difficult parking and trek up the hill. But it is worth it! Thanks!
