    Excellent rental. Wonderful host. Very clean! Easy to find. Great communication. We were in town for the Wisconsin state track championship in La Cross. I was worried. About the distance but it was so easy to go back and forth. We had a delay on day two and the host was so kind to let us have a later check out so we didn’t have to roast in the heat and sun. The teens we had loved all the games and basketball court. Excellent stay, many extras and thoughtful amenities.

    We had a great stay here - very comfortable and gorgeous views of the river with bald eagles nesting nearby. The game room was great, fully stocked kitchen and all new furnishings. The house is even nicer in person than it looks in the photos! Chris was friendly, accessible, and helpful. We had a great stay and would come back again.

    We loved our stay. Everything was well stocked, the house was very clean. We all enjoyed the board games,pool table,dart board we chose this house because we knew the children would have plenty to do. We have decided to make it a yearly plan. We had family from Ohio,Georgia, and Wisconsin come for Thanksgiving and this house worked out perfect.Thank you Chris

    The house was fantastic. The views were amazing. Everything was as listed in the write-up. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. Our boys really enjoyed playing pool and darts. Such a fun house to stay at and close enough to UW-LaCrosse for football Saturday. We loved it and will definitely be back for more football games. Thank you.

    Our group absolutely loved this home! It was very clean, well stocked with anything we could need and convenient yet secluded from the large city of LaCrosse. The views cannot be beat. We even met some of the neighbors which were lovely. If you need an Uber - don't rely on one - we weren't able to get one. But we did get DoorDash very quickly! The owner was very quick to respond to any questions I had. I have two suggestions (should not steer anyone away from this home) - mirrors in the bedrooms (we were a group of four women and would help free up the bathrooms) and one more recliner in the living room. We hope to be back!!! Thank you!

    It was nicely decorated and clean, with comfortable beds and furniture and a beautiful kitchen with newer dishes and pans, and beautiful bathrooms. But the best part was the view! We really enjoyed sitting on the deck for coffee and meals and games. And the views from indoors are just as good.

    Great location and accommodated our group of 5 adults comfortably. Easy drive to and from La Crosse. Only recommendation would to be add some window treatments in the great room is cut down on sun glare in the AM & early afternoons.

    We so enjoyed the views, weather, and deck. We spent a majority of the time sitting out on the deck visiting (although we did sneak in a few games of pool which was a riot!). We loved seeing the barges, trains, and wildlife. The kitchen had everything you could need and more! We slept great on the comfy beds. It was a lovely stay - we hope to be back!

    This was a girls trip of five retired teachers from SW who wanted to explore Winona, Lanesboro, and Lacrosse. The house looks exactly as it does in the pictures. It was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed to have an enjoyable stay. The view from both the deck and the living room was beautiful. The host was easy to contact and made sure any questions we had were taken care of immediately. Be sure to visit Saxon Hall bar and grill in downtown Brownsville if you stay at this property. Great pizza and great service.

    The home was beautiful, and a great way to spend some family time. There is a train that passes across the road, so if the windows are open you will hear it. We didn't hear it at all with the windows closed. The deck is beautiful and a great way to enjoy the view and some sun. We hope to return and make this a regular gathering for our family! Thank you Chris
