We are a group of bicyclists who meet up to ride the Trempealeau area hills and valleys. All seven of us found comfortable sleeping accommodations. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils we needed for preparing our post ride dinners, and the deck was great, providing us with awesome views and a terrific outdoor dining space.We made good use of the coffe bar every morning. We would recommend this house to anyone.

Our host, Jon, responded promptly to any question we had. The home was both beautiful and very well stocked overall. We do not typically find a home that has such a beautiful kitchen and amenities. We had a wonderful view overlooking the Mississippi River - being just over 1 block away, and watching the barges go through the dam & lock, watching the trains pass by. We even got to see a cruise ship go up river as it passed by in our view. I highly recommend this property and its owner!

About the host

Hosted by jon sundal

Host profile image
It is a pleasure to share this family home in Trempealeau. With busy schedules and children growing up we are happy to share this treasured location.

Why they chose this property

Perrot Park, Elmaro winery, Trempealeau hotel, Trempealeau marina, numerous bike paths (we like to bike to Lacrosse), Trempealeau pool, Sullivans restaurant, cross country skiing in Perrot Park or downhill skiing in Lacrosse, river access and river views and fishing are a few of the numerous things we enjoy about Trempealeau.

What makes this property unique

Guests always enjoy the Mississippi River views from the large deck on river side of home. You are on 2nd Street and there is one row of houses between you and river, but there is no view obstruction as this home is elevated (see pictures). You are able to watch river traffic (boats and barges) on the river. You can also get a view of lock and dam #6. The rolling hills are a nice backdrop to river views.
