About this property

Newly remodeled! Cozy, family (and pet) friendly cabin with breathtaking 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 "Riverview Retreat " 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 or birds soaring past the windows!

Plenty of beds to accommodate a group or large family. (3 queens)

Inside we have an indoor kid's play space, featuring a teepee that the kids will love, and toys 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, and plenty of chairs.

A kitchen table, brand new quartz kitchen countertops, a brand new electric 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 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.”

We are 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.

If you have multiple families looking to stay close together we have another rental within walking distance. VRBO# 2045955

This is a lovely cabin in a beautiful spot. It was everything we were looking for. Our kids were so excited that we could bring our dog. They particularly enjoyed roasting marshmallows on the fire pit and asking Alexa to play their favorite songs.

Better than the Pictures

This home and location was fantastic for my wife and I to stay at for 6 days (5 nights)! The views are fantastic, and watching the barges move up and down the river was neat! We visited the Lock & Dam, Goose Island, Blackhawk County Park, and drove east and visited Duck Egg County Forest and Sidie Hollow Park for walking / hiking / picture taking! We are totally satisfied with our stay and would come back if the opportunity presented itself!

Great cabin with an amazing view

This was my second time staying at this cabin. Both times the cabin was clean upon arrival. Plenty of amenities, breathtaking views, and a nice quiet neighborhood. If sitting on the deck sipping coffee and watching eagles sore over the Mississippi and her broad backwaters, this place is for you.
