We loved the area and the cottage was in a great location. The cottage was super clean and so cute, perfect! Beth, the host was very helpful with ideas of things in the area and her fresh ground coffee and flowers were an awesome touch. The whole week was perfect and look forward to going back.

This was the perfect place for a relaxing long weekend! Beth provided everything we could have wanted for a comfortable stay! She checked in with us to make sure we arrived and settled in well. Fresh zinneas on the table, nightlights lighting the path to the bathroom, local honey, a filled and busy birdfeeder - all contributed to a pleasant stay. Beth provided information about beautiful nature settings nearby, as well as local restaurants. The cabin was immaculate and perfectly maintained. We recommend it without hesitation!

This is a cute little cottage and perfect for a couple who want some peace and quiet among the trees and water. It was so close to the state park and other outdoor activities. Kitchen is well stocked and they have a grill to use as well. We really enjoyed our stay here! Quiet road you can take a walk in the evening or sit on the comfy couch and enjoy the view. Beth was very attentive, even leaving us fresh ground coffee which was so yummy! Would recommend this cottage for your get away!

Wonderful property! Great location for exploring on bikes, kayaks or foot. Cabin is fabulously stocked with books, toys, dvds, great spices and even yoga mats. Owners are quick with communication and offer lots of great advice about the area. Looking forward to returning soon!

Loved our stay at Lake Road Cabin!

The cabin was perfect: super clean and so cute!! We enjoyed watching the birds and boats on the water. Took the kayaks out twice, but never got around to using the bikes. Trempealeau was a great town. Everyone was so nice. Would love to come back.

This house was exactly what we were looking for. It was perfect for two for a relaxing long weekend. You can look out the window at the lake directly across the street. The house was clean and well stocked with everything someone would need. The bedroom was quaint and the bathroom modern and clean. It was very obvious that the owners want people to enjoy their time there. There were meticulously written suggestions for things to do and see and places to eat. They were so helpful and I think we did almost all of them. Very close is a restaurant called the River Cafe with excellent breakfast choices and great service. We went to an apple orchard that had food and a band, a quaint ice cream place, and a beautifull winery to name a few. The hiking suggetions were great with ideas for not-so-skilled and skilled hikers. There was so much to experience at Perrot State park. We fell in love with Trempealeau almost instantly. It's proximetry to the Mississippi River was great and it was fun to learn about the Lock and Dam and watch the barges. It would be great to fish and/or boat on. We are looking forward to returning during the fall to see all the great colors. Thank you for the opportunity to stay and for being such wonderful hosts.

Quiet, relaxing, has all the amenities of home

Beautiful setting. The cabin is pristine inside. Clean and comfortable, everything is like new. There is plenty to do nearby, especially if you like to be active. We did not get to meet the owners, but are forever grateful for their flexibility during a difficult time for us. Thank you Beth and Mark!

Perfect in every way

We loved the location -- near, but not in Trempealeau. We were also close to the bluffs in LaCrosse for hiking, the Trempealeau wildlife refuge, many bird watching locations, etc. The cottage was spotless and well equipped with everything we needed., and Beth was a gracious and responsive host. We'll be back! Thank you!

Everything we needed!

We were very pleased with our stay at LRC. It was easy to unwind and relax when everything we needed was right there. Everything you need to cook an awesome meal is there or little extra bathroom needs you may have forgotten. We enjoyed the books, movies and games. We rode the bikes into town for ice cream and had a tasty dinner at the hotel. We highly recommend LRC to slow down and re-connect with your loved ones, just what we needed.

Great 3 day get away

Nice property, exactly as described. A short walk to the water to put the kayaks in. Nice easy paddle around the 4.5 mile loop around the the lake next to the river. A short drive to the state park for a few nice hikes. Wisconsin bike trail close by. Kitchen had just about everything one could want. Good selection of basic seasonings. Decent knives, pots and pans. Beth was in touch every step of the way and was a great communicator.

Perfect cottage right on the lake.

What a perfect location. Short bike ride to town. Bikes were in excellent condition. Lake across the road from cottage was perfect to kayak. Was great to have kayaks provided. Anything you would ever need was provided at the cottage. Grill, fire pit, life jackets, fishing poles, coolers, etc. It was all there. Website for cabin was very helpful for local restaurants and things to do. Cabin was immaculate. Very comfortable, well maintained and very clean. Could not be better. Loved it

PERFECT!!

PERFECT !! Wonderful quiet location with a peaceful water view. Was hesitant about the road between cottage and the water, but it's a dead end road which made for a great bike ride. With the nice bikes and the kayaks available for use the waterways and the local eateries were another easy source of adventure. Next time we might need to bring the boat and do some fishing! Easy as the boat launch is close by as well! Speaking of close by... Perot State park was only 15 minutes away for our hiking pleasure ... Elmaro vineyard and tasting room with awesome wine and entertainment also a quick jaunt. The cottage itself is adorable , very clean, cute, comfortable and well appointed. I hesitate to say more as I don't want to compete with too many others for future reservations!

Wow Antionette - what a thought filled review! I am so glad that you enjoyed Trempealeau - it's a beautiful little village on the river. I am glad that you found the cottage to your liking. Thanks for leaving the place immaculate. You will be welcomed back with open arms. Yes, bring the boat - there are actually three landings within a half a mile from the cottage. We had guests that just used the kayaks to fish and they limited in 4 hours. Happy trails friend. Hope our paths meet again. Beth and Mark

Wonderful Wisconsin Weekend

We spent the weekend during Winona State's parent weekend. The cottage had EVERYTHING we could need! It was very clean, neat and decorated adorably! There were so many thoughtful details throughout the cottage. Very comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for a couple easy meals. We had a bonfire one night with firewood provided. Beth had great recommendations for what to do and activities to try! My husband finished his book on Friday night and found a book in their stash that he started while we were there. He loved it SO much that he ordered it on his Kindle when we got home. Our daughter is a freshman, so hoping we can stay again over the next four years. Thanks to our wonderful hosts! One thing to keep in mind is that you may not have cellular service at the home or nearby. We used a GPS in the car to get us there, which was good since the maps on our phones didn't work. We had to drive to town, for cell service, to coordinate meeting our daughter on Saturday. It is crazy how dependent we have become to our cell phones ;)

If you are traveling to La Crosse for any kind of fishing trip or tournament, look no further than here! This place was very awesome for just that reason! Right outside of town which is great because it is quiet and very easy to get in and out with a boat! Highly recommend this place for anyone but especially for the fisherman!!
