Perfect Getaway
Despite the fact that we chose the snowiest weekend to travel, we made it! This place was perfect and did not disappoint. The view was incredible and the snow made it even more beautiful. The owners were great and super friendly and caring. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Getaway
To start, we would give this place 6 stars if we could. As other reviews have said, the pictures do not do it justice. It's an amazing place, very well designed and decorated with a view that's hard to beat. They have stocked the house with everything you need and have thought of all the little details. Its very clean and wonderfully quiet. We will be back regularly...we can't wait for the next trip! Thank you Todd & Donna!

Great Family Vacation
Our family of 5 adults had a wonderful time in this lovely cabin overlooking the Mississippi River. The sunsets were great. We had fun cooking meals together, playing card games and star gazing.

About the host

Hosted by Todd & Donna Lensing

Host profile image
Your hosts, Donna & Todd Lensing, have been in the lodging business since 2006 after purchasing the Grandview Motel in Ferryville. Todd has also been a professional duck hunting guide since 2002, and Donna's passion is interior design, which you'll notice when you step through the door of any of our uniquely decorated properties.

Prior to owning the motel we have a combined total of 35 years of retail customer service experience. We know what we're doing, and are proud of our motel and 8 rental properties. We believe we have an excellent idea of what travelers to the Driftless Area expect and look forward to your visit!

Find out why we were drawn the the famous Pool 9 of the Mississippi River. Besides being a top waterfowl hunting destination, this section of the old muddy is an amazing fishery for multiple species year 'round. Our subclimate is so unique and we're happy to tell you what we know about the Driftless Area. Overlooking the river where it's about 3 miles wide, we feel so fortunate to experience Mother Nature's finest.

We also do our best to enhance our properties with native plants and flowers and continue to make any and all necessary improvements to give our guests the very best experience possible. Throughout the year you can plan to see bald eagles, whitetail deer, wild turkey, multiple species of waterfowl, including tundra and trumpeter swans. White pelicans provide quite a sight when they're flying along in perfect synchronicity. Songbirds are abundant along the river as well.

There's so much more to love about this area. Make your plans to discover what all the hype is about in our secret little corner of Wisconsin.

Why they chose this property

Riverview Cabin was built in 1995 and is solid log construction. We are the third owners and are thrilled to update it and put our special touches inside and out, as time allows. Whether it's just the two of you, your family, your girls' group, your hunting/fishing group...any of you will just love staying in this fabulous property!

Since we also own the only 2 other cabins -- Vistaview Chalet and Woodview lodge -- in this quiet cul de sac, we've had many groups book all 3 places to have room for everyone!

The Eagle Mountain subdivision is up in the bluffs above the village of Ferryville, which is right along the Great River Road. Across the river we see the opposite bluff country of N.E. Iowa.

Ferryville is about mid-way between La Crosse & Prairie du Chien, approximatel 30 miles in either direction. There's also a bridge crossing over to Lansing Iowa nearby. A visit to the area isn't complete without stepping foot in Horsefall's Lansing Variety. Also, make sure to hit up Coffee on the River while you're there, Mt. Hosmer Park, and the Driftless Visitor Center.

Ferryville has 2 bars that serve food plus a gas station/convenience store. May through October welcomes back the weekly Farmers Market on Saturdays at Sugar Creek Park, just south of town.

There are multiple boat landings in the area, including one right in town. If you plan ahead, you can rent a pontoon boat from S&S Houseboat Rentals in Lansing.

If you like to hike?? You can simply stroll through the neighborhood or head down to Sugar Creek Conservancy, just south of town. Rush Creek State Natural Area is upriver a couple miles. Down by Prairie du Chien you'll find Wyalusing State Park, plus Pike's Peak & Effigy Mounds in Iowa. Grandad Bluff and Myrick Park have extensive trails throughout the La Crosse area.

Viroqua is another lovely small city to visit. Lots of eclectic shops and dining options and it's a lovely, scenic drive through the rolling hills of SW Wisconsin.
