About this property

Large Secluded Country Home Minutes from Town

Tucked into the bluffs of the Beautiful Coulee Region, this La Crosse home is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. Enjoy 2 furnished levels with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living rooms and a beautiful kitchen and fireplace.

On your secluded acre are tall, beautiful shade trees, a movable fire pit, 2 piggies fenced in the backyard, and very often deer and turkeys having dinner in easy view from the deck.

From the large deck or covered patio enjoy the sounds of nature, an amazing view of the bluffs, and some of the most gorgeous sunsets God has to offer.

Whether you are on the deck having coffee in the morning or wine in the evening, you'll feel like you are sitting on a cabin porch nestled in the rocky mountains.

And unlike a stay near the river, there are NO mosquitoes!

There are 2 piggies, though! Olaf & George are always excited to see new faces. We stop over daily to feed them; we are just outside & typically only for a brief time.

You'll find the kitchen fully equipped with ample counter space, all the essential appliances and kitchenware for your home-cooking needs.

There's also a large family room in the lower level featuring a bar, large flat screen smart TV with Netflix account, and a variety of games - perfect for family movie or game night. This room also includes a door leading to the covered patio.

Comfortable & Clean

This was a very well kept older home. The beds & couches were super comfy. Everything we could've needed was supplied. I really appreciated the cleanliness. We saw a mama deer with her twin fawns. The pigs were adorable & fun to feed.

It was a very pleasant stay. We enjoyed the sunset while relaxing on the patio overlooking the valley. It was close to our activities for the weekend and great overall amenities for our stay. Amber was great at communicating for arrivals of feeding the piggies.

Labor day weekend in La Crosse

Our group had a great stay at this property over Labor Day weekend. It's in a great location on a beautiful piece of land. It was a busy weekend with most of the time in the house spent either sleeping or getting ready, but the place was great and fit all our needs and then some. Would definitely book this house again for future visits to La Crosse.

Great, Quiet Location

We stayed here for a weekend in late September and it worked out really well for us. Close enough to downtown Lacrosse for us to drive over and bar hop, but quiet and beautiful property to come back and relax at. We were a bit early for changing leaves, but I’m sure it’s gorgeous in October. The rooms, amenities, etc were what we expected and the hostess was very easy to work with. We would stay again.

Perfect Cozy Weekend

My friends and I stayed here for a weekend of trail races. The beds were super comfy and we enjoyed cooking healthy meals to prep for the races. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots and utensils. Plus we got to have a fire and cook s'mores! Lovely home. Amber was a super attentive host. I would definitely stay here again!

Family Reunion

The house was perfect for a family reunion. There was plenty of sleeping accommodations as well as general areas to get together to socialize, eat and play games. The kitchen was perfect for preparing meals for our group of 20. The house is situated in a country setting with a large yard for kids to play in. Amber, the host was terrific to work with and ensured we had everything we needed. We are considering an annual visit to their VRBO with our family.

Beautiful views

The rain really didn't allow us to appreciate the views BUT they are great. Sleeping was good. They had a pile of games that helped us through our rainy day. Spices and olive oils were already there which is really helpful for cooking. Spent most of our time playing around the dining room table but there is a great downstairs if you wanted to divide up or just change things up.

Quick family spring break get away

We stayed at the property as my son had a school competition in downtown La Crosse and we wanted to make a family vacation of the trip and my sister’s family joined us. The host was very flexible with our arrival and departure, which was great. I know she didn’t have to be especially during more peak travel times, so we really appreciated it. She provided a pack n play for our two year old as well as a booster high chair, which was so nice not to have to pack. She went way above and beyond and provided games and toys for the kids to play with during the stay which was a huge hit with the kids (ages 2-11). The kitchen was well equipped and great for preparing meals. We ate in instead of eating out mostly due to our food allergies, but there were a lot of restaurants within a 10-15 min drive if we had wanted to eat out. The Walmart nearby was convenient and we had groceries delivered to the house after we arrived so that we wouldn’t have to pack groceries on the way up. Our kids loved the nearby children’s museum which turned out to be free since we had a reciprocal membership to a science museum in Chicago. We hope to return when it is a bit warmer to take advantage of some of the nature hikes and river cruises around La Crosse. I’ve stayed at other rental properties that have been more hassle than they are worth, but the host made this property very convenient and stress-free to rent.

We had a wonderful time on our mini vacation. The house was very clean and fully stocked for all our needs. Amber was an amazing host and checked in on us a couple of times throughout the stay. We enjoyed feeding George and Olaf. The upper deck was an awesome perk for us to gather and enjoy the views after a long day at the race track.
