We had a great time staying at the Bayfront cottage!! It is in the perfect location on the water and only a short drive away from downtown lacrosse! Perfect place to stay with friends or family!
Check in process was nice and easy. Host was very good w/ communication. Kitchen needed a good cleaning as there were cobwebs that had grease buildup above the stove. Kitchen barely had any cookware. The enclosed breezeway/porch would have been more enjoyable if it was also clean.

Nice little cottage
Beautiful location. Simple accommodation but comfortable. Lacks a bit of love and in need of a deep cleaning.
Our stay was perfect! The rental is in the ultimate location, water, dock for fishing, beach, bbq grill and even a fire pit.
We couldn't have been happier. We will stay again when in the area!
We did have a good time on our stay here and the property has a beautiful view. The place really does need some TLC. First of all there were only 5 towels and we had 6 people. The toilet seat was being held on with one bolt and it would move everytime you sat down! There are not outlets in the bathroom and no mirrors anywhere else in the house. The railings on the back deck are not secure and if you leaned on them you would fall and definitely get hurt!
Walking distance from a Kwik Trip. Kayak and boat rental 2 doors down and tons of amenities close by. Downtown was a 6 dollar uber ride. We'd love to return in the summer when we'll be able to spend more time outside, on the water. Great for small family get togethers!
The Cabin is located very close to downtown and the Hotel that the event we where attending. The owner responded promptly to the small issue we had checking in. I was very happy with our stay.
We really enjoyed the outdoor amenities. The fishing was good. We relaxed watching the sun come up on the bay. We even enjoyed the sand beach, grilling out and a fire in the pit. The closed in porch made enjoying the bay possible on the rainy day. We had a very relaxing visit.
We were up in the are for Oktoberfest Race Weekend at Lacrosse Fairgrounds Speedway. Property had everything you needed, as we were not there a ton. Just sleeping and showers. Would be a great place during the summer, with a riverfront back yard, and plenty of space to hang out and have a fire, etc.
Great house, great location. We were there to go fishing and it was ideal for that. We had a great time. Everything was perfect with the house the dock. And the water. It could use some electricity at the dock as we had to run 300 feet of extension cord to charge the batteries in the boat. Overall wonderful, we would rent it again.
Very comfortable cottage where we were able to meet friends for our once a year get together. Although weather and health prohibited our plans to canoe and sit by the fire, we had a very enjoyable time. We will plan to come again next year.
This property is in need of TLC. There were things, that included safety issues, that needed to be fixed and in reading other reviews, it appears these things were an issue for some time. Paint, cleaning, better curb appeal would go a long way.
It was fine. Door code given was not correct so we had to call the property manager (big company, not just a homeowner). That got taken care of quick. House is fine, a little janky. There was only one trash can in the entire house. Definitely needed one in the bathroom. No rags for showers. A remote was broken in the main room. Saw a mouse run in the kitchen one day. We're not fancy people so that stuff didn't really bug us. I'm kind of annoyed by the not-so-veiled threat in the description that if you don't rate them a 10, they won't rent out any properties to you in the future. That's pretty much bribery. Location is on a busy road, but the river access was good. Would be good for a fishing trip and was fine for us.
We were here for an event so it was mostly just a place to sleep. However we enjoyed the back yard and walk down to the river! Beautiful view and enjoyed the fire pit! Was nice and clean and comfy!
Would recommend getting the railing in the deck fixed, but other then that, all was great thank you
Per the rental manager, there was a useable gas grill and plenty of parking space. The gas grill was filthy dirt with maggets inside of it. There was only the driveway which made it very difficult getting into from the street which is a main access from I-90.
My family and I enjoyed our stay here! It was close to everything we needed and the family we were visiting! The fire pit was amazing and got a lot of use from us. It was exactly what the listing advertised it to be. My only critique is the main floor had a strong smell of a litter box. I’m sure not if it was the cleaning agents used or not. Other then that the house was very clean and a great stay!
I received a call the first night from my crew, they said the water was not draining in the tub and filling up. I was getting ready to let you know, but they got back to me and said they were able to unclog the drain.
Otherwise, the loculation was great for us. We have more work this summer and I may be contacting you again.
