About this property

New Rental! Kid Friendly Bluff House with incredible Mississippi River Views!

Enjoy breathtaking views of the Mississippi River while you relax, get cozy, and recharge in this newly decorated modern-rustic cabin situated high on the bluffs above the Mississippi River. Whether it is a family vacation, a girls/guys weekend, or a couples getaway you will enjoy the "Bluff House" inside and out. Take in the views with coffee on the deck in the mornings or sitting around a campfire on the large paved patio with a cold beverage of choice in the afternoon/evenings. There is never a shortage of things to see, whether it is boats and barges going by on the river, trains passing by on the tracks, or vehicles slowly moving by on the highway below.

Plenty of beds to accommodate a group or large family. (1 king, 2 queens, 2 twins)

Brand new outdoor playground, sandbox and zip-line to entertain the kids for hours! Inside we have an indoor kid's play space and toys in the loft to accommodate families with younger children. We also have a pack and play crib for babies.

Our patio has a large fire pit, (wood provided) fire starter, plenty of chairs, and an outdoor cooler. (located in the utility room)

A large farmhouse kitchen table, brand new granite kitchen countertops, a brand new gas oven/stove, and an outdoor gas grill will give you all the space you need to stay in, cook, and enjoy meals together. Propane is provided for the grill with an extra tank in the event you run out.

A new sectional couch with an open concept floor plan extends the kitchen space to the living room and also includes a smart TV. Watch your favorite team, sitcom, movie, or whatever you are in the mood for!

Our high-speed internet can accommodate zoom meetings, TVs, multiple phones, or whatever you may need to “plugin.”

Second to the last house on a dead-end lane, not for from LaCrosse (WI), Lansing (IA), Viroqua (WI).

Bring your UTV and explore Vernon and Crawford counties, or your boat, kayaks, jet skis and explore the mighty Mississippi!

If trout fishing is your aim you should also check out some of the finest coldwater trout streams anywhere: Lansing Clear Creek at Clear Creek Park (1972 South Road on the west edge of town); Wexford Creek (1416 Great River Road) and the French Creek Wildlife Area to name a few. Check with the DNR to find which area streams are stocked on a regular basis.

There is a gas station just down the hill for misc odds and ends, there are local bars for food and drinks. Hit up the Great River Roadhouse for drinks and the best pizza around! If you need groceries or other dining just cruise across the river to Lansing, Iowa and you are certain to find everything you need and some you don’t.

Anniversary getaway
We wanted a clean, comfortable place with a great view and maybe an outdoor firepit, near which we could sit and enjoy a bottle of wine. The Bluff House delivered. The missus is an artist, and while there she started and finished a painting inspired by the view of the river. Even though we just wanted to relax a couple days and putter around the house, there was plenty to do in the area. Recommend it for couples, for sure. Small families or a few friends would probably also enjoy it, especially if the temperature was above 55 degrees. We were there the third weekend in April. JG.

Amazing View
Our stay started a little rough due to a recent April snow storm. We had to do a little shoveling to clear a path to the house and clear the deck, but after that everything was great. The house was clean and inviting. Everything we needed was there. We missed having a working indoor fireplace, but they are in the process of converting it to a gas fireplace. Stay tuned! The multi-head shower was an adventure in itself. It took a while to figure out all the features. Instructions are provided to make the process easier. For some reason the water in the kitchen took a long time to heat up, must be a long run from the water heater. The outdoor deck was perfect for viewing the Mississippi River, and the eagles circling above made it that much more special. The outdoor firepit provided plenty of room and lots of firewood. Again, the view was amazing. We hope to return in the fall during color season. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Thank You! -- Tom & Jan

Spring Break at the Bluff House
The house and location are fantastic for a get away in the driftless! Plenty of space and accommodations for the young kids to play outside. Great views of the Mississippi, eagles soaring nearly right off the deck and star gazing. Our only comment is that it was a bit dusty. Note the bridge to Lansing, IA is down so we made a the longer drive through Prairie du Chein to get to the Driftless Education Center and Museum which was worth it.

President’s Day get-away
We had a wonderful long weekend with a great mix of activity and relaxing. The home was clean and comfortable with AMAZING views! The kitchen, island and table made for fun family dinners. The reclining couch and smart TV were perfect for movie nights! The patios were perfrct…again, the VIEWS!!! The only surprise for us was that we couldn’t use the inside fireplace… it was noted in the listing details, but we missed it at first.

Our Lansing property listing number is 7556345

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because it was a ‘diamond in the rough’ and we saw what kind of potential it had. After numerous hours of cleaning up the landscape, we were able to open up the view and see the Mississippi River! My wife Ashley put her touch on the inside to add to the breathtaking view, and we now have a first-class property!
