About this property

Mississippi River Shore - Sunset and Fisherman's Delight on the Water

We are on The Mighty Mississippi River. Your front yard and stone throw to the river. You can sit in your lawn chair under the shade tree, or walk out onto our shoreline ledge or dock and enjoy your morning brew. In the evening, you can sit and relax as you grill your dinner, enjoying the breathtaking sunset and barge traffic. Eagles are visitors to the area, as are Great Blue Herons, river otters, muskrats, and a few varieties of ducks. This is truly a place for those who love to be on the water. It is a fisherman's delight! The public boat ramp is just a few blocks away, and we have private parking for your boat trailer. Very quiet and peaceful. Recently remodeled and very clean.

Please note: four exterior steps with a handrail leading into the home, with a covered area and a small half-step between the kitchen and living room inside (from linoleum to carpet) are part of the original layout.

Ice fishing weekend

Owner allowed us to get in the residence earlier than check-in time without any issue. Residence was very clean and accommodated our needs for the weekend. I would stay there again.

Great place in a great location

Perfect for our fishing trip. Located within a few blocks of the public launch and the dock in front is perfect for midday breaks. The trailer was well stocked and had all the comforts of home. This was my fourth time staying and I will be staying again.

Loved the stay!

Had an excellent time here! Place was nice and clean and close to the river. Sunset are spectacular! Just wish there was more outdoor space to hang out on. If you want to sit outside, pack lawn chairs. Would absolutely stay here again!

Cozy, clean stay - perfect for UWL Family weekend

Just outside of La Crosse, this was a great little place to stay with friends while visiting our kids for UWL Family weekend! It was nothing fancy but had all the amenities to make for a comfortable stay! John was responsive to any questions we had.

Great ice fishing spot!

The only issue I had was that Google maps took me to the wrong house. Oviously not your fault but something you may want to look into having corrected. The place very clean and was everything we needed for our ice fishing trip.

Lovely stay very quiet. Right on the Mississippi river.

Very clean and well stocked the kitchen as far as utensils and what you need. It is in a trailer, so trying to find it was a little bit tricky but contacting the owners was fantastic! Great trip from the cities with my two boys, we enjoyed ourselves!

Just what we needed

4 adults came up to ice fish. If you have more adults it would be tough to sleep more I think. 4 was perfect for an ice fishing adventure. 2 slept in beds, 1 slept in a chair, and one on the couch. Parking was a little bit of a trick with 2 trucks and trailers. If we needed to we would have just parked a trailer at the landing but nobody complained on how we were parked.

trailer with a view

i get urges to be near the water, this was the perfect spot. front row seat to the best river view yet, amazing sunsets. Even though a few days of my stay were a bit windy, it was still wonderful.. Driving up to the trailer at first, i was a bit disappointed, but after entering the inside, my view was changed. It was very nicely updated, decorated and spotless ! i also got to meet John and Racheal, the hosts, great people. I'd highly recommend a Ribeye dinner at Rockys Supperclub right there in town, you wont be disappointed. this little diamond in the rough, will definitely remain on my lists of stays to revisit.

Great Getaway

My husband and our 5 kids stayed at this home for the 4th of July weekend. The owners provided an inflatable mattress and there is also a cot. The mattresses on the beds are very comfortable. Everything about the home was next to perfect. Do not be deceived by the outside. It’s what’s on the inside that counts - the inside is completely remodeled and spotless from top to bottom. The outside is a little run down but still very functional. We were able to dock our boat to the pier that is right on the Mississippi backwaters located a short ride to the main channel. We caught plenty of pan fish, large mouth and a few perch from the pier. We made small fires in the fire pot and roasted marshmallows while we watched the beautiful sunsets. This is definitely a place we hope to come back to and will highly recommend to our friends and family!

It grows on you

Description and photos of the property are all accurate but they definitely show the property from all of its best angles. We were a little underwhelmed initially upon arrival as the mobile home is tucked in a closely packed row of 4 or 5 other mobile homes and the exterior was lacking the charm we expected. The home smelled a bit musty upon entry and we only found one window we could open to air it out. After a lighting a candle and healthy application of Febreeze we settled in for the night. It was spacious, comfortable and everything we needed was there. The bed was also comfortable and the river view was beautiful. Despite the initial disillusionment the place grew on us over our days there and we enjoyed drinking our coffee outside looking out at the water.

Family member tripped on raised floor & broke wrist.

There is a raised floor, about 2" that separates the entrance/kitchen and living room. There was no mention or warning to watch your step, etc. A family member tripped, fell and broke her wrist. The host was not responsive after mention of the break. This mobile home was well kept and clean. If there had been mention of this raised floor and a step up it would have made all the difference.

Fishing trip

A friend (waiting for a kidney), and I were looking for a place to stay for some fishing. We found this place and it met our expectations, the weather didn't, but that was to be expected. Absolutely no problems! If we come back to that area again, we'll be booking if it's available.

Fishing weekend

Stayed here for a short weekend with my son. Spent most of the days fishing, but the property was great. Perfect location for coulee region activities. My only regret is that due to morning rain I didnt get the chance to enjoy coffee by the river.

About the host

Hosted by John

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Stoddard and have spent my entire life fishing, hunting, and enjoying the outdoors in this beautiful part of Wisconsin. Sharing our riverfront home lets me give guests a taste of the peaceful, nature-filled lifestyle that I’ve loved for years. Whether you're here to relax, fish, watch wildlife, or just soak in the view, I’m glad to help make your stay comfortable and memorable.

Why they chose this property

We love this location because it offers the perfect mix of peaceful riverfront living and easy access to some of the most charming towns in the region. We're just a short drive from La Crosse, Onalaska, and Holmen—areas full of rich heritage, local events, and great opportunities for shopping, dining, and exploring. We're also close to Coon Valley, Westby, Viroqua, Genoa, and Prairie du Chien, each with their own small-town charm, beautiful countryside, and unique local experiences. Whether you’re into fishing, outdoor adventure, or simply relaxing and soaking in the view, this area offers something special for everyone.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property truly unique is how close you are to the Mississippi River—you can’t get much closer without being on a boat. Your front yard is just steps from the water, with a private shoreline ledge and dock where you can sip coffee, cast a line, or watch the sunset over the river. The views are stunning, the wildlife is abundant, and the setting is incredibly peaceful. Guests often tell us it feels like a hidden gem—clean, cozy, and perfectly situated for both relaxation and adventure. Whether you're here to fish, boat, birdwatch, or just unwind, this place offers a one-of-a-kind riverfront experience.
