About this property
French Island w/Hot Tub, Kayak, Lake View, EV
Welcome to beautiful French Island, with its serene lake and river views and our adorable home-away-from-home! This cozy two bedroom, one bath bungalow is exactly what you need to rest, rejuvenate, and explore La Crosse and the many waterways in the beautiful unglaciated “Driftless Region”! Enjoy your morning coffee while gazing at Lake Onalaska, or soak your troubles away in our private backyard hot tub. This home is the perfect place for a couple or small family to spend a weekend or longer. With our hot tub, and this easy access to the waterways - you’ll never want to leave.
You’re welcome to bring your own boat or personal watercraft to launch at one of many nearby boat ramps (and beaches!), with two only one block down the road. Pack your swimsuits and enjoy the 4-person hot tub in the back yard to unwind after a long day of activity.
**Special Offer** Book with us and inquire about FREE canoe/kayak usage to explore the rivers and lakes on your own! Booking in the winter? We’d love to offer usage of snow shoes, cross country ski access, or an ice fishing auger instead! What an amazing opportunity provided for our guests!
The home itself has a fully appointed kitchen, complete with armoire refrigerator, dishwasher, oven / stove, coffee maker, and all the necessities to prepare your own meals. Dine at the dinner table with place settings for six or more people. There’s plenty of space in the living room to spread out in front of the large Smart TV, and then crash in one of two bedrooms at the end of the night – each featuring a high-quality foam queen sized mattress. A pack and play travel crib is also available for your little one; a sleeper sofa/air mattress is also available for additional guests. The home has one bathroom, with a full size tub and adjustable showerhead. Make use of many board games and puzzles are available inside the home, as well as ample backyard space along with a gas grill and patio dining set in the backyard.

Dishwasher, and clothes washer/dryer are available for guest use as well.
This home offers sleeping accommodations for up to 4 guests with the existing beds: Bedroom #1 queen (2) and Bedroom #2 queen (2) for a total of 4 guests (+ 1 infant in the pack and play travel crib).

We welcome furry family members (pets) with a nominal nightly fee. Washer and dryer use within the home is complimentary for guests. Infant / baby items (pack and play, kitchen items, toys, etc.) are available upon request.

We welcome you to come stay at our home and hope to see you soon!

This well-appointed home on French Island was a lovely place for our "Girls' Getaway." The home had everything we needed; we especially enjoyed the hot tub.
This is a wonderful, comfortable property that has been tastefully decorated. It is in a quiet very comfortable neighborhood very close to the Mississippi river. I highly recommend it.
We had a fantastic time staying here. We were in town for a family reunion and it was the perfect place to be able to get away from the noise after the reunion. Will definitely stay again in the future! Thank you Logan for being a great host!
We had a lovely time at this quaint little retreat. Private and accommodating spot for a girl’s weekend meetup with old friends. The hot tub was great and the home was clean and had all the necessities. We really enjoyed our stay!
We stayed over Christmas and it worked perfectly that they had a Christmas tree up so we still had a festive holiday away from home.The kitchen was well equipped, beds comfortable, and the hot tub was a great way to enjoy the chilly December temps! Quiet neighborhood & we felt safe.Communication with the host was great!

The home was immaculate and inviting and was as promised. Enjoyable atmosphere, while decorated fully stocked owner was responsive.
The home overall was very clean, comfortable and relatively well appointed. The host made himself very available. The listing lists a sleeper couch that we expected would be moderately comfortable - It was not. We would not have considered this passable as a bed. There were also no sheets or pillow for this bed or the air mattress, so we had to make do. Aside from this, it was a pleasant stay.
We needed a place for the weekend and this house was perfect! Everything was very nice and clean. Everyone had their own space and my son even used the hot tub. Our dog loved walking through the neighborhood. Would definitely recommend.
Such a sweet and clean little house! Everything about this Vrbo feels intentional and thoughtful. We wanted for nothing and enjoyed every moment. We almost had a hard time going out and about because there were so many lovely things to keep us there! 100% would stay again!
We had a wonderful time, the house is just like the pictures only better. I brought my eldry parents to visit my moms sister. The house was perfect for them. The backyard was nice, we even enjoyed some light fall flowers. I did enjoy the hot tub. Very quiet, peaceful setting.
