Comfortable house and great location!

The beds and living room were very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the view was beautiful. We enjoyed going down to the river/beach, which was just a few minutes away. Wonderful visit and we hope to stay here again!

There were six of us for a ladies weekend. The house had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable. Sunrises over the river were amazing. Don’t miss the Time Out Tavern in La Crescent, Grandad Bluff and The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse.

Greatly appreciate the review! Thanks for supporting local businesses during your stay. I'm so glad you were able to see the Shrine. You had a great day for the hike up the hill and everyone must see Grandad Bluff at least once! What a view. Hope you can come back and visit again sometime and take a La Crosse Queen boat ride, visit our marina during summer season or watch the bird migration in the Fall. It's a spectacular site. Lots more to see.

Nice cabin

Overall, great stay. The noise from the early train and construction in the neighborhood were a bit of a bummer for sleep and sitting out on the deck.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Oct 2024
Thx for the feedback, and sorry to hear about the construction noise. As far as the train, it is a constant in any small river town and is a unique experience for most. It can be heard throughout the river valley. Unfortunately, those items are out of our control. Glad you had a great stay.

The house was clean and enjoyable. The host was welcoming and communicative. We enjoyed the amenities including movies and games. There were loud trains that passed by several times at night, but the hosts can't control that. We've rarely seen ahouse so well-supplied in terms of kitchen items, towels, etc - much appreciated! Overall, the house was as advertised, and we enjoyed our stay.

Small Town Gem

Nice updated home! We enjoyed the small town feel that came with it too, yet it was very easy to drive into the LaCrosse area in just 15 min. We will definitely look for this property when we’re back in the area.

Girl's weekend

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was beautiful with a great view of the river. Great choice of bed layout with a full and a single in all bedrooms. So if you are sharing a room, you don't necessarily need to share a bed. We would definitely recommend!!

State track stay

We rented this property so we could have a place close to LaCrosse to stay so we could watch our son at the State track meet. Very nice place!! We didn’t spend a lot of time there but when we did it was great. It had everything we needed!! Beds were comfy. Dawn was great to work with!! Definitely a nice getaway!!

Group of Fisherman

Great stay in Brownsville with a group of friends coming into town for a fishing tournament. House was clean and well stocked with everything needed. 3 trucks / bass boats fit without issue and a short drive to the ramps used on the river. Check in was smooth and we were walked through everything we needed to know. Would stay here again should events bring us back to the area.

Dawn was the best host. There was heavy rain and mild flooding in the area, and she checked in on us to warn us and make sure we didn’t have trouble arriving along the way, which we absolutely didn’t. The house sits on a beautiful bluff and overlooks the river. We had plenty of space to park our oversized boat and other vehicles. The house had everything we needed plus more. To the point we didn’t even unpack some of our common household things we generally take along (spices, salt/pepper, essentials). It is very well supplied. The only thing I would recommend bringing is a fan to circulate air in each of the bedrooms at night—it can get a little stuffy by 5am every morning. There is one large standing fan we used for the kitchen, and the house is air conditioned beautifully—but with 7 or more people and the humidity the week we stayed, air movement was nice. The kitchen dining room area is bigger than expected with PLENTY of room for our friends and family without feeling congested. We spent most of our time on the river boating and Lawrence Lake Marina (Friday night steak fry and live bands—can’t beat it!). That being said, I cannot say enough good things about this property, especially for the value point. They did a nice job flipping this house into the perfect getaway. I will recommend this to anyone, and We will be back again for sure!

Home away from home

We highly recommend a visit to this property. The view from the deck is fantastic and it provided all of the things that we needed on our stay. This was our sixth vacation home rental and it provided more amenities for the guests than have experienced so far. Brownsville is an awesome little town. Had an absolute ball at Saxons pizza with our waitress, Dawn. Boat ramp at wildcat campground was very close and an easy launch for our boat. 11 family members fit just fine in this home. The owners went above and beyond our expectations. Loved it and will return in the future! Jerry & Lori Rowland
