About Elizabeth Albertson
Tusen Takk is a Norwegian word meaning a 1000 thanks. After my dad died, I wanted to create a place that both honored our Norwegian heritage and would be a place to create more family memories.
Elizabeth Albertson purchased this House in 2009
Why Elizabeth Albertson chose Potosi
Tusen Takk is a great home base for many day trips and adventures. The Mississippi and Grant Rivers offer opportunities such as canoeing, boating, and fishing. Galena, Prarie Du Chein, Dubuque, and Madison are all great day trip destinations. Within 10 minutes you will find one of the oldest breweries in Wisconsin. Locally owned and housing the National Brewery Museum the Potosi Brewery provides a great place for food and drinks! Then wander on to the Great River Road Museum of Contemporary Art, Whispering Bluffs Winery, or to the local bakery. Potosi is in Grant County Wisconsin only 20 miles from Dubuque.
What makes this House unique
Nestled in the hills of the Grant River Valley, this eco-friendly cabin is a destination upon itself. It is a comfortable place to relax, enjoy good company, start a campfire, do some stargazing, hike the trails, and just get away. Come alone to recharge and refresh yourself, bring your family or friends to enjoy some time together, or snuggle up with your significant other. It is cozy enough for one but spacious enough for a gathering of family or friends.

Great Cabin Not Too Far From Chicago
My family and I stayed here for New Year's, the wood stove kept the cabin warm in the cold weather. The property is nice with some hiking trails down the road.
A Great Family Cabin!
We rented this cabin to be close to Galena for their annual Halloween parade. The location is perfect for sightseeing in Potosi Wi, Dubuque Ia and Galena IL. We visited the brewery in Potosi, rode the hillside trolley in Dubuque and attended the Halloween parade and festival in Galena. Our kids had a great time and each night when we returned to the cabin we built a fire and played games. The cabin was well stocked with towels, bedding and all other essentials. We made some great memories and plan to return sometime soon.
Fun Getaway
I stayed here with my family and really enjoyed it. The view was amazing. My only reason for 4 stars is it only had one window air conditioner unit that could not keep up. The house never got below 79. Otherwise, a great time and neat place.
Slice of Heaven
The perfect spot to spend some QT with family in nature - would love to come back for more!
5 star review
All good. An upgrade to a regular size airconditoner an TV monitor would be cheap and appreciated
