About this property

Wandering Warriors Retreat

A great place to relax and enjoy your friends and/or family as we have something for everyone. If you want to explore there are plenty of places to canoe or kayak through sloughs or if you have an RTV or ATV there are several routes nearby. Check out Wyalusing State Park or venture across the river and explore Effigy Mounds National Monument, Pikes Peak State Park, Spook Cave, etc. Or you can escape and just enjoy the river going by and watch for eagles soaring overhead. There is entertainment to be found at the many local restaurants and watering holes as well as Eagles Landing Winery where they frequently have live music on weekends. Walk down to the beach and soak up the sun.

The 3rd floor is set up for entertainment with a poker table, drop down video screen, wet bar, pool table and dart board machine. You can watch the river go by from the kitchen table. The kitchen is well equipped with a full size stove and fridge, microwave, dishes, pots & pans, coffee maker and more. There are 4 bedrooms (sleeps 8) plus a pull-out couch that sleeps 2 and 2 full baths as well as a jetted tub in the master bedroom. There is an electric fireplace in the living room and a reading room off of the kitchen. The back deck has a patio table and chairs and a George Foreman electric grill. There is a full size washer and dryer on the main floor as well as a smaller stacked unit on the 2nd floor. There is a sink in the garage for cleaning fish or rinsing off feet after a day at the beach.

We do have high speed internet via Starlink. There are active train tracks across the road like many towns on the river so be aware that although they go by quickly there is train noise throughout the day and night.

Outstanding Property for Friends Weekend!

We had an amazing time at the Wondering Warriors Retreat!! We annually gather in the spring as a group of 6 friends and this property has been the best stay we have ever had! Everything was clean and well stocked for our arrival. Check in was easy and simple and Joyce the host communicated well with us during the stay. We spent time hiking in nearby state parks, the ladies in the group did some shopping in Prairie du Chien as well as McGregor. Joyce had left a comprehensive list of places to eat, things to do, shops, and information for us. The beds were comfortable and furniture was excellent. The 3rd floor game room was spectacular and the views of the river awesome. Hands down, one of the best property we have stayed in on VRBO. Thanks for a great weekend!!

We atv/utv rode doing the day. At night we took advantage of firepit and game room on 3rd floor. I would recommend this property to anyone. It's loaded with all amenities.

Great home for family and/or friends

Three couples in their early 50s had a great weekend at the house. Enjoyed a fun Friday night playing games in the amazing third floor. After a morning hike overlooking the rivers and PDC, we came back and watched the Badgers upstairs. Awesome viewing experience on the world's largest pit couch (that claim cannot be verified, lol)! The trains are a definite nuisance for light sleepers and be careful on the steps but as our rating suggests, we were very, very happy with everything. Great location. Great hosts. And a great house!

Perfect for a Friends' Getaway

We had a small group stay here for a few days. The house was very comfortable and has everything you would need to keep you entertained during your stay. We had a campfire each night, played pool, watch movies on the projector and relaxed in the hot tub. It is also spacious enough to have your own space if needed! The location was great! Although there are houses around us, it still felt very private. A short walk to the beach, a quick drive to the state park where we hiked one afternoon, and not too far from Prairie Du Chien where we got groceries and ate at Eddie's Irish Pub! I would definitely recommend this stay!

Johnston stay

Wonderful house and very spacious. Our family loved the game room and view. A bit disappointed that the interior especially kitchen wasn’t cleaner. I found left over bread in oven wrapped in foil and had to clean floors when arriving. The kitchen sink leaked water and had to clean up under sink. Overall would recommend this property to others. Thank you.

Family get away

The owner of the property was easy to work with and the property was a described. The game room on the 3rd floor came in handy as it rained and stormed while we were there. The was a book with places to eat and things to do for those not from the area. We were very appreciative as the owner called to warn us about severe weather heading our way and to be on the look out for tornadoes. We would stay there again

No Need to Leave!

We had a group of 8 adults for a long weekend. The house is amazing, with every amenity you could think of. The third floor is a party room with pool table, dart board, theater screen, and numerous games. We had a blast. Check in/out was simple! We can’t wait to return in the summer months!

Perfect

Our family stayed at Wandering Warriors for a long weekend. So perfect! The house was beautifully decorated for Xmas. Everything we needed and then some! The 3rd floor game/theater was our favorite hangout. Pool, darts, card games, football, basketball on the big screen during the day. Movie, and popcorn at night. Our host was amazing, also. So many memories made. Thank you for the perfect stay.

Best stay!

This property was amazing and without a doubt the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. Our host provided an easy way to access the property without having to make any special arrangements to get into the house. We didn't need a single thing for our stay, as this was equipped with about anything we could ever need. Everything from kitchen utensils to furniture was in great working order. The property manager, David, was a great help and was great at recommending things to do in the area. Appreciated the helpful hints throughout the house, and some of the humor scattered throughout! I would rate this VRBO with 10 stars if possible. Beautiful property, and beautiful people running this!

Fantastic Wedding Weekend!!!

Our Son was getting married this past weekend at nearby Wyalusing State Park. Wandering Warriors Retreat served as home base for our family visiting from California and Tennessee. This is a great place! The pictures are spot on, everything from the top quality kitchen with the HUGE breakfast/dining table to the top floor entertainment lounge area featuring a home theater, pool table, bar, and poker room with an awesome view of the river! The 'James Bond' style power shades were a great touch, (and yes we did watch Diamonds are Forever, ;) Thank you for a great and memorable stay!! The wedding went off perfectly, Wandering Warrior played a nice role in that... :)

Great sibling week!!

We had our annual sibling week and loved the house. There were eight of us and our favorite spot was sitting around the large kitchen table every morning for coffee and later for games and meals. The beautiful kitchen and large island was great for cooking and happy hours!! The beds were very comfortable and the third floor was our favorite spot every night for movies and popcorn! The very large sectional sat at all of us with room to spare. The house did not lack for anything. Loved our stay.!!

Amazing House!

A group of out of town friends rented this awesome place for two nights. We were all in town for a mutual friends wedding and thought it would be cool to all stay in the same house. This place did not disappoint. The house is huge, plenty of space, bedrooms, bathrooms and the backyard is amazing. There is also a public beach area on the river within walking distance. The upstairs rec area was a huge hit and where we spent the majority of our time. We have all said that we would like to come back and rent this property again!

I was born and raised in McGregor and used to come over to the Wyalusing beach in high school. I am a river rat at heart.

Why they chose this property

I moved away in the 80's but have always felt called back to the area. I fell in love with this house and thought it would be a great place for families and friends to gather.
