We loved having a place for us to stay near La Crosse, WI. Our family enjoyed having a kitchen, a living room, and a place to eat and play board games during our stay.
Beautiful floors and interior furnishings with new windows! Perfect for relaxing and recuperating from a day of adventures. Shower has some wonderful water pressure too!
Very clean and accommodating place. The seating was comfortable, kitchen well stocked and slept great on the bed. Nice place to stay while exploring both sides of the river.
Very happy with all aspects of our stay. Everything went smoothly from check in to check out. Lovely inside and close to our reunion in Brownsville. Loved our stay and the stay in the small town where my moms family grew up

The property was very well decorated. Beautiful space and layout. Had all the things we needed. The overall area was not the best but the inside was great!
We really enjoyed the stay at the house. No problems at all with the apartment, It’s very charming and themed decorated without being too much. We didn’t use the kitchen, but It looked like it was well equipped with everything needed for cooking.
we came to stay at this home for my best friends birthday weekend. she goes to school in lacrosse and we wanted her to have a place that wasn’t focused on school. we had a wonderful time. we were able to make dinners and enjoy the local bars across the street. even being on crutches once up in the apartment it was easy to get around. thank you for a wonderful stay
We loved all the woodwork and bright and Airy feel to the place. Loved all the fine touches and detail. Beds were very comfortable. Loved being near the Mississippi River and the Beautiful Bluffs. We were attending a family funeral in La Crosse and this was perfect and enjoyable ride to drive across the river every day. Very Scenic area.
At first I was skeptical of the building, but when I went upstairs and saw the inside of the apartment I was relieved to know that the listing was very honest to what it was actually like. Everything was very nice and I enjoyed my stay. There were just a few bugs I had to kill but it wasn’t a bad g deal to me.

About the host
Hosted by Erin
Work hard, Play hard! I love all things outdoors, wakeboard, snowboard, longboard, hiking, climbing, surfing, snorkeling, paddle boarding, biking, golfing, frisbee golf and up to try something new. My husband and I enjoy renovating properties and transforming spaces. We love to travel, especially to Hawaii and found vacation rentals to be welcoming and feel like home away from home. We decided to start hosting to share those same feelings for family, friends and friends of friends and family, our Ohana.
Why they chose this property
We purchased the building for my husband, Colt, to open his own tattoo shop. When we were hunting for a building and came across this one, we ended up seeing the upstairs apartment first and absolutely fell in LOVE with the original hardwood floors, oversized trim and charm of the older building. We thought it would be a great space for traveling tattooers, our friends and family who come to visit.
