The Best

It was a wonderful cabin. The kitchen was large and loved the island with the stove. Made it easy to have more than 1 person in the kitchen. Beautiful view of the river. Gorgeous sunsets. We all loved the hot tub and the evenings around the fire pit. We will be coming back!

This wonderful cabin is nestled on a bluff, with amazing views. It is very thoughtfully appointed, and is central to exploring many parts of the driftless area. A gem!

***SPECTACULAR ***

This property and location is a true gem. We enjoyed the view overlooking the bluff, especially during sunset while in the hot tub. The cabin was so comfy and had all the amenities you need. We cooked out a few nights, and enjoyed breakfast on the deck. So many places to see and we would love to come back in the fall. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place with our family.

Second time, just as good as the first

This is a second year we rented this house and once again were not disappointed. It has everything you need to relax and have fun. Sunset view from a jacuzzi is especially nice. House is clean, bright and well stocked. Todd and Donna are great hosts who made their place into a gem.

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.
