About this property

Beautiful Cozy Lake House on 2 & 1/2 acres!

The Lake House is a cozy and well-maintained home that provides everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation getaway. Nestled on the shores of Marinuka Lake, a picturesque 117-acre lake, the Lake House offers easy access to fishing opportunities. Cast a line from the dock or head to the public boat landing for a chance to catch Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Trout, and Walleye.

Step outside and you’ll be greeted by a spacious and inviting yard, perfect for relaxation, watching the sunset, or hosting outdoor games and creating lasting memories. Equipped with a picnic table, gas grill, and fire pit with chairs, this yard provides the ideal setting for a cozy gathering. We also provide a variety of outdoor games. Kayak rentals are available on the lake at the boat ramp.

The surrounding area offers an array of exciting activities for all interests. Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman, an avid hiker, a mountain biker, a birdwatcher, a golfer, or a wine enthusiast, you’ll find something to captivate your passion. Within minutes, you can explore the nearby wineries, indulge in gourmet dining at the local restaurants, or browse the unique boutiques in town.

During the winter months, the lake transforms into a frozen wonderland, offering ice fishing opportunities. For those seeking snow sports, Mount La Crosse, just 30 miles away, provides skiing and snowboarding. Additionally, the area boasts snowmobile trails and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails at Perrot State Park.

Beautiful home. Perfect weekend getaway.

The house is great, very clean and comfortable. Loved being close to the lake. Had fun canoeing and catching sunfish from the dock. Home is close to town but feels very secluded. Also convenient to Trempeleau and some great restaurants. Really loved our stay!!

Quiet retreat

What a fantastic property to stay at and unwind, we enjoyed our stay from the beautiful views from on top of the bluff to the water views on the dock it it was very calming. It was a perfect getaway to reset and recharge. The wildlife in the area was very entertaining to watch, lots of bunnies and birds. We will definitely recommend.

Charming Lake Home

We loved the house and property. Comfortable beds and furniture. Fishing off the dock was productive. Noise from the county fair was the only drawback, but not a big deal. 5 stars

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Opat

Host profile image

Our family loves to vacation at the Lake House. We have a blast fishing, throwing rocks in the lake, playing football in the large yard and having campfires. It's a great spot to unwind! We enjoy walking to town to visit the boutiques and driving to La Crosse or Winona for the day.
I grew up in the area and love to come back to visit family and friends. My kids love visiting and never want to leave.

Why they chose this property

We love shopping in town at the wonderful boutique stores, grabbing coffee, hitting up the farmers markets and dining out. There are so many great restaurants in the area!

What makes this property unique

We love sitting on the dock and watching the sunset. The yard is huge and we love to look around at all the beautiful flowers, plants and just enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The bluffs and Mississippi River are so pretty and just a few miles away. We love this area!
