About this property

Urban Cottage

An urban cottage located on the Wisconsin banks of the Mississippi River. A place where family and friends gather around the fire pit to make memories and laugh into the hours of the early morning. Two large living areas to curl up next to the fireplace with a good movie and a cozy blanket. Surrounded by the bluffs full of wildlife, and the river on a half acre just one block from boat landing. You'll be sure to enjoy hikes, late evening boat cruises, and world famous Buffalo County hunting.

Perfect stay

We needed a place to stay for a group of 6 and wanted to be able to spread out, cook our own meals, and enjoy our time. This property allowed us to do all of that, with a great location close to everything we wanted to see and do. Would recommend!

Host was very communicative. The loft area was a cool space but not separate bedrooms. The stairs to the loft are steep. Vrbo was cute but could use a little better cleaning. Overall was nice.

The Perfect Getaway

Beautifully decorated and well maintained property which was just as pictured and described. In a quiet area near the Mississippi River, we felt safe, comfortable, and able to fully relax. The check-in treats with hand written note were a super nice gesture. The hosts were easy to make contact with and provided more amenities than most other properties we’ve stayed at elsewhere. Would stay again, if we needed to be in the area!

A Perfect Getaway with Friends!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Urban Cottage! The space was incredibly comfortable, beautifully decorated, and provided the perfect atmosphere for us to unwind and reconnect. It was just the right backdrop for a peaceful reading retreat with my college friends. We loved the cozy ambiance. Whether we were curled up with a book or chatting, the cottage made us feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

The cabin was charming and very well decorated with comfortable furniture and an overall cozy feeling. However, it could have been a bit cleaner especially in those hard to reach spaces. But when I reached out to the owner she was very apologetic and I could tell she was very disappointed we weren’t completely happy. Overall it served our purpose and was close to the wedding venue which is what brought us to Alma.

A Place Worth Checking Out

The listing said three bedrooms but it is really a main bedroom on the first floor with a loft upstairs that has two queen beds. It still worked out perfectly for my family. The two loft beds were separated by a living room area and a privacy wall. The full bathroom upstairs was spacious for my adult kids.Loved the airy decor on the first floor as well as the rustic warm decor of the loft.My family was in town for a wedding but would love the opportunity to stay again!

Great Location and Hosts

The Urban Cottage in Buffalo City, WI, provided my family and I a great location for our return to the area for an annual family gathering. Hosts Renae and Jenna were very responsive to our needs and questions before, during, and even after our stay. I would suggest the number of bedrooms be clarified in the online and app announcements. There is one Master Bedroom downstairs with a queen bed, and a large open area (efficiency apartment style) upstairs with two additional queen beds. All in all, a great place to relax and enjoy the activities the area around Buffalo City has to offer!

Sister's Weekend

Nicely decorated, comfy beds walking distance to local bar. Sundays and Mondays many of the shops and things to do were closed, but we still found plenty to entertain us. The house had nice ammenities and we were even left a basket of goodies by the owner. The downstairs bathroom was a little tight with the cabinet in there. Plenty of pillows and blankets to snuggle with. We enjoyed listening to the records on the record player upstairs!

Not a 3BDRM

This should be advertised as a one bedroom with two additional beds upstairs! There were 6 of us. Two babies that each needed their own room behind a closed door. Ad was very misleading to the point of false advertising.

Cutest cottage with all you could ask for!

This place was wonderful! It was no surprise to find out the owner of this cottage was an interior decorator because it was as cute as can be with everything you’d ever need at your fingertips…and then some!! The only thing I would change is the description of Rooms & beds detail online. This cottage had 3 queen beds, not 5 queen beds as the online listing described (the phone app says 3, but the full online app says 5). Only 1 of the 3 queens is in an enclosed bedroom. This can really affect how you intend to use the space depending on your group dynamics. That being said, the cottage was adorable, the host was kind and communicative when I had questions, the area is beautiful, and if you only need 3 queen beds, and maybe a couch or two, I highly recommend you try this amazing little cottage out!!!
