The house was perfect for a girls weekend. It is very clean. There is plenty of space, a whole closet of games, and the downstairs is perfect for hanging out and playing darts too. We especially loved the screened in porch because we had a very rainy weekend and could still feel like we were outside. The hosts are great and would highly recommend this VRBO.

Lovely home. Comfy beds. Very clean. Good communication. I missed that the second bathroom is on the lowest level which does not have a bedroom. The amazing screened-in porch and beautiful starry night view on the deck more than made up for it but just be aware if you have anyone in your group with problems using stairs and plan accordingly! It was a fantastic stay.

we are 4 ladies that travel once a year, and we had a great time at the house. what you needed and more. the beds were conferrable and we had a lot of room. The only problem we had was with the TV there were no instruction. The TV in the living room work to some channels but keep asking to sign up. The TV downstairs did not do anything. But we plaided cards and other games. For us it was a great week would go there again The Hag sisters

Love this place! A cozy rustic cabin with so many amenities from gas grill, fire pit, dart board, screened in porch, board games, plenty of towels and a fully stocked kitchen. We stayed with our adult children and played lots of games, inside and outside. The screened in porch was probably our favorite spot! Communication with the host was excellent!!

I searched around the LaCrosse area for a nice place to stay for a convention we had in town and this place had wonderful reviews. This property is everything we could have hoped for and more. Absolutely the cutest house with beautiful views of the river. We hung out on the front porch each morning just taking it all in while enjoying our coffee. The house was very clean with a kitchen that had everything you needed. My mom has some knee problems and it was so easy for her to get into the house with ease and the bedrooms on the main floor made it so easy. Our host was extremely kind and very responsive. I couldn’t say enough great things about our trip. Thank you for everything and helping us create such fond family memories.
