About this property

Wilson Schoolhouse Inn----- Ideal For Family Gatherings Or 2-3 Couples

Return to Class in La Crosse, Wisconsin
The Wilson Schoolhouse is located in a rural setting on 12 acres of woods, fields, and gardens only 8 minutes from historic downtown La Crosse. Rental includes the entire schoolhouse and will comfortably accommodate 2 to 8 adults during their stay. The old schoolhouse desks are replaced by modern, comfortable furniture. Where students once studied, you can now relax in comfort surrounded by Wisconsin hills, just a mile from the beautiful upper Mississippi River.​ The Wilson school was built in 1917 and functioned as a one-room school until 1965. It was recently restored and elegantly furnished to retain the "open" atmosphere of the original schoolhouse. It still maintains much of its original character and charm with the original slate blackboard and school desks. The schoolhouse is listed on the City of La Crosse, the State of Wisconsin, and National Register of Historic Buildings.

There is no charge for 1 child under the age of 12; please exclude this child when you request to book, but let us know that they will accompany you and what arrangements for beds that you will need.

There may be additional charges for larger gatherings or parties; please contact us regarding this.

Perfect Family Gathering

The numerous amenities, open layout, comfortable living spaces and cleanliness made this trip so enjoyable for the whole family. Our hosts really went above and beyond to make the stay stress-free. The kitchen was very functional and made for great, family dinners without the need to go out. We recommend this location and would return again!

We were in town for a graduation so didn't spend a lot of time at the house, but loved the history layout of the Inn. The owners live close by and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.

Great Place to stay. Location close enough to LaCross for all the events we were in town for. A little hard to find due to the trees in front of the building, especially in the dark.

Wonderful weekend getaway!

We had an amazing stay at the Wilson Schoolhouse. The property itself was well maintained, full of amenities (coffee, snacks, tea, etc.) and so comfortable for a group of girlfriends. The location is accessible and close to town yet far enough away to allow for total relaxation. Lisbet, the owner, was lovely and thoughtful and just a delight! We all would highly recommend it for a getaway.
