Beautiful home. Very nice riverfront view. Short drive into La Crescent or La Crosse either one. While in Brownsville, be sure to check out Saxon Hall. Really good pizza. The home was extremely clean. We couldn’t have asked for more. We had an excellent time.

We had a wonderful stay and our host was great! Wonderful property with everything we needed for a fun, stress-free stay. Three bedrooms, each with its own bath, was ideal! The great room was perfect for group, sit-down dinners and party games!

beautiful property with fab views - excellent stay

Highly recommend. Gorgeous home, well appointed and clean with all the basics you’d want in kitchen and throughout home. 2 large bedrooms upstairs each with a bathroom and 1 large bedroom on main floor. Close enough to La Crosse while just far enough to provide relaxing setting. Stunning views of the Mississippi River from outside patio and many rooms of home. Great communication with host and easy to check in and checkout.

Beautiful house with a great view of the river. Very clean and organized. A quick 15 - 20 minute drive to Lacrosse. Communication was great with numerous amenities and creature comforts. She's thought of everything. Very welcoming to pets. You will experience several trains going through day and night.

AMAZING property and home. Our host, Shawna, was equally amazing. Great communication that truly showed the priority was for guests to have a wonderful experience. The house was extremely clean, with a very well stocked kitchen, that is gorgeous. Very cozy and welcoming, with a spacious, comfortable living room/dining space. Great floorplan. We have small dogs and Shawna had extra treats, toys and a comfy bed to welcome them also. The area is beautiful with an abundance of restaurants, shopping and fun areas/establishments within easy access. We loved staying at this home and hope to return again. Highly recommended! It was a privilege to stay here.

We prepared most of our meals in this "chef's kiss" kitchen. Thankful for all the cooking, baking and dining needs, plus the grill. Spacious & comfortable accommodations added to our relaxing get-together with family from three states. We are grateful for Shawna's gifts of hospitality and her communication skills. We couldn't ask for a better host! We also enjoyed the area communities with lots of activities & unique fun shops. We loved hiking in the state park and just relaxing by their river front. We highly recommend her home so you can enjoy your experience like we did!!!

Beautiful Relaxation!

This is a beautiful home with an amazing river view! We loved the sunroom and the loft sitting area. The entire home is extremely clean and had everything we needed for cooking and playing games…2 large tables and even a drawer full of games. We brought our own games, but ended up putting those aside once our girls found that drawer. Communication with Shawna was very prompt. We will definitely stay here again if we’re back in the area!

This house was perfect for our family. The 3 bedrooms and bathrooms gave us all the space we needed. The house was very clean and comfortable. You get great views of the river from several rooms in the house. We enjoyed early mornings and evenings on the patio. The owner was nice and easy to work with. I highly recommend this house.
