About this property

Riverview Getaways (only 13 miles to La Crosse WI or Iowa border)

Remodeled 3 bedroom home located in the SE corner of Minnesota in the small historic Mississippi River town of Brownsville, just off State Hwy 26 in the Driftless Region.

Visitors enjoy fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, boating, biking, entertainment at local establishments, observing swan and eagles at the Brownsville overlook or just hanging out with friends or family. While spending time on the Mississippi river, this property is close to river access points and has plenty of parking space to accommodate your boat and trailer. During winter months, crafting groups enjoy gathering with friends and is also a great place to stay while ice fishing in the area.

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.

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!!

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.

House in Brownsville

View was great. We got in without any issues. The owner wanted us to confirm that we arrived and settled in but we couldn’t because the app was not working during the time we were there. We were able to communicate by telephone adequately. We were surprised by additional added fees and other charges that were added on after we committed to stay there. Ultimately the house was MORE expensive than larger newer houses that other relatives stayed at on the river

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!!

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.

We very much enjoyed our time at this rental property. Everything was very clean, and we’ll kept. The beds were quite comfortable, and there was everything we needed for linens. My kids also really appreciated the games and puzzles that are provided during one of the rainy days we spent there.

Thank you for the enjoyable stay. The home had everything we needed and more. Dawn was very personable, nice touch to be there at check-in to show us around the place! We would highly recommend this property to others coming to this area! Although it is in a small community, nice restaurants, hiking, boating and entertainment are within a 20 minute drive.

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

Our group loved the house. It was very nice would definitely like to come back. The view alone from the deck is reason enough to come back. It had everything you need to have a enjoyable weekend plenty of room even with 10 guys like we had. We felt very comfortable like I said we would love to come back and enjoy it again.
