This place has so much personality and charm! We loved our stay, so many fun little details to enjoy. Very easily accessible to the downtown area, which made our experience very smooth. We'd love to stay there again the next time we're in La Crosse.

The property was decorated in 70's decor with music artists from that era which was fun. Super clean house and quiet area with all needed asessories!Nice fenced in yard which was perfect for our adventurous dog. The gazebo was an added plus and a great place to relax at the end of day!Overall great experience and we would definitely rent again!

Faye's place was perfect for our one night stay after a concert at the La Crosse Center. We enjoyed the vintage/theme decor. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment we needed to make and serve breakfast. The host responded quickly to questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Honestly the cutest place we have ever stayed! The Halloween decorations were a fun touch for our spooky little family, and our toddler especially appreciated the toys and books. It was such a special, cozy stop that felt like home. The location was perfect: tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but still close to downtown. The host, Jaimie, even gave us phenomenal restaurant recommendations. We definitely hope to be back one day! Thanks again!
