Secluded Home - Views of Mississippi River remote location 15 min from La Crosse
Former bar (Top of the Rock) was recently remodeled and converted into a vacation home. Open floor plan still has elements of the bar (pool table, dartboard, high top tables with bar stools) along with cozy feel of a home. Brand new kitchen, great room with 65” flatscreen TV, modern bathrooms upstairs and down. Lower level has three bedrooms which can sleep up to 8 people.
Beautiful panoramic views of the Mississippi River valley from the deck and inside the home. Since we are near the river, you will hear trains which will occasionally pass by.

Really enjoyed our stay! Great parking for our bass boats. Close to a good ramp. Beautiful view of the Mississippi. Great amenities within the house (pool table, dart board, foosball, big screen tv's). Will definitely be back!
The property, location and amenities were amazing. The photos really don’t do justice to the space or views of the Mississippi. Looking forward to staying again!
Everything was as advertised and my family was blown away with how amazing the house and the view was. Would definitely stay again and would recommend!
Great location and accommodated our group of 5 adults comfortably. Easy drive to and from La Crosse. Only recommendation would to be add some window treatments in the great room is cut down on sun glare in the AM & early afternoons.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
It was nicely decorated and clean, with comfortable beds and furniture and a beautiful kitchen with newer dishes and pans, and beautiful bathrooms. But the best part was the view! We really enjoyed sitting on the deck for coffee and meals and games. And the views from indoors are just as good.
We so enjoyed the views, weather, and deck. We spent a majority of the time sitting out on the deck visiting (although we did sneak in a few games of pool which was a riot!). We loved seeing the barges, trains, and wildlife. The kitchen had everything you could need and more! We slept great on the comfy beds. It was a lovely stay - we hope to be back!
Truly enjoyed our time here- perfect gathering spot for family and friends. Clean, comfortable, and great location for day trips. Loved the upper level kitchen, pool, darts, game room!
The house was fantastic. The views were amazing. Everything was as listed in the write-up. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. Our boys really enjoyed playing pool and darts. Such a fun house to stay at and close enough to UW-LaCrosse for football Saturday. We loved it and will definitely be back for more football games. Thank you.
What a wonderful property! Beautiful views from the upstairs living room which has all the games you could want with tons of seating and a great kitchen. Bedrooms were comfortable and there was plenty of parking.
We had a great time! The quiet little town was very accommodating. Everyone is so friendly. The house was more that what we expected. Spacious. Clean. Beautiful. We'll be back!
This was our 2nd stay at the house in Brownsville. The house was great! The views of the river were awesome and the house was set up perfect for our group. It is an easy drive for our event in La Crosse. Checking in and out were easy. We look forward to booking again in the future.
Our group absolutely loved this home! It was very clean, well stocked with anything we could need and convenient yet secluded from the large city of LaCrosse. The views cannot be beat. We even met some of the neighbors which were lovely. If you need an Uber - don't rely on one - we weren't able to get one. But we did get DoorDash very quickly! The owner was very quick to respond to any questions I had. I have two suggestions (should not steer anyone away from this home) - mirrors in the bedrooms (we were a group of four women and would help free up the bathrooms) and one more recliner in the living room. We hope to be back!!! Thank you!
