Great place to kick back and unwind. The cabin was clean, and Michael was a great host, he was quick to respond to any questions we had. The view was absolutely amazing, and we were able to enjoy some wild life, deer, grouse and even a wood chuck! Would definitely recommend the cabin for a great get away.

Wonderful Place

This is a terrific place to stay. We loved being close to the river to boat and the place itself is in a very peaceful location. A previous reviewer mentioned that a bar got in and there was a smell, but we didn’t experience that over our 2 nights. Just a terrific place to stay with a great host! We’d definitely come back.

We arrived at the properly late night. Michel was available for us and answered our questions right away. It’s perfectly located, close to Iowa and Minnesota. We drove to Brownsville MN to eat at a marina, the easy to go to La Crosse to have some great ice scream and walk by the river, and drove back to the Iowa side to have a beer in a local bar. It was amazing. The cabin itself it a magical place. You can just watch a movie and enjoy of a great view locking out the house, you can walk around and enjoy a friendly neighborhood or just drive to do groceries in Viroqua WI and have another amazing experience in town and while driving. I’ll recommend the place to visit.

Great place to stay

Very quiet and tranquil location with views of the Mississippi River. Plenty of room for our family of 4 and our dog. Nice size bedrooms with comfortable beds. Enjoyed coffee every morning on the screened porch. The cabin is also within close proximity to various fishing spots and some very good restaurants.

The cabin was beautiful and the ower was very responsive. The view was the best part. The screened in patio was our favorite llace to hang out. However, we had some issues with critters. We had a bat in the cabin flying around that we had to capture and release. Then we could hear and smell bats in the walls the rest of the trip. We also had cockroaches in a couple of the beds. Informed him of these issues and he said he would get an exterminator out after we left. Hopefully all is good there now!
