The location was great for our girls weekend. The kitchen was big but doesn't have a dishwasher. The fire pit in the backyard overlooking Richmond Bay was a great way to relax in the evening. It was nice to be able to walk to restaurants near by and a Kwik Trip. Enjoyed our time in LaCrosse!

Fishing trip

Great house, great location. We were there to go fishing and it was ideal for that. We had a great time. Everything was perfect with the house the dock. And the water. It could use some electricity at the dock as we had to run 300 feet of extension cord to charge the batteries in the boat. Overall wonderful, we would rent it again.

This property is in need of TLC. There were things, that included safety issues, that needed to be fixed and in reading other reviews, it appears these things were an issue for some time. Paint, cleaning, better curb appeal would go a long way.

Cute and adorable

We were here for an event so it was mostly just a place to sleep. However we enjoyed the back yard and walk down to the river! Beautiful view and enjoyed the fire pit! Was nice and clean and comfy! Would recommend getting the railing in the deck fixed, but other then that, all was great thank you

Just ok

Average place. Fairly clean, ok beds, tiny, cheap living room furniture. I see reviews from 6 months ago about the broken railing, still not fixed. Even worse is the wood railing behind the house. Someone is going to get hurt. Reasonable price, got what we paid for.

Not a chance I would stay here.

No address by the street. Railing broken to go up steps to the door. Pitch dark when we arrived so no way to see the keypad without a flashlight. No smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detectors. No ice maker, freezer was awful and dirty. Plastic cover on bed upstairs so laying on it you would crinkle loudly all night. Pillows in pillow shams, no pillowcases on bed. No extra blankets. No amenities at this place. We left and did not stay. Found other accommodations. Host was very rude and unkind when I made them aware of our concerns and asked for a refund. They were unwilling to work with us at all.

Dead bugs in basket of afghans. Kitchen: broken faucet, some broken drawer pulls; grease on stove; oven smoked when 1st used; broken floor tile; several non-working outlets and switches; no dishwashing soap, only 1 dishcloth/towel, stained potholder. Only 4 small pans with either broken handles or peeling non-stick coating. Bathroom: no outlets, worn towels. No toiletries provided. "Picky" toilet on flushing. Lower bedroom: dead bugs in between very worn sheets on the bed. Dirty carpet. Broken window blind. Upstairs bedrooms: insufficient and worn linens; badly stained, smelly carpets. WiFi password given was invalid. Very spotty internet so couldn't use TV most of the time.

Dishonest listing

We reserved this place for three days and asked for a late check out. They said if we leave a 5-star review it would be free. That seemed shady. Then they said there was a leak and we needed to not use the bathroom “left-hand”(hot water) faucet during our entire stay. O-kay. Then they said their plumber had to come at 8 am on the last morning to repair it. We asked that hold off a few hours till because we have a kid with a wonky immune system and would have been racing to a doc appointment that am.) They then cancelled the reservation altogether, saying it was because we were denying them access to their property. Ridiculous. A three or four hour delay is denying access? Repair the thing before the guests arrive or pull the listing. Then they claimed the plumber had to come then for our safety tho they’d been willing to rent to us for three days before the repair. So we made another reservation since we had to find a place to stay. We did not know owned the 2nd place, too, which suddenly also was cancelled due to a leak, because, get this, they assumed that by making a second reservation for the same locale/dates after they’d cancelled the first one, we were trying to harass them, instead of the obvious explanation: we needed a place to stay and had no idea it was the same family. We’d hesitated in the first place because several reviews mentioned things like broken toilet seats and a rickety railing. We should have paid attention. A dishonest, paranoid host. Shame on VRBO

The trash was overflowing in the driveway and ripped open when we pulled up. The yard was in bad shape and it had not been mowed in a while. The bedding was stained and the sheets all need to be replaced. The water quality is bad enough that you don’t want to brush your teeth with it. We left early.

Weekend cisit

Check in process was nice and easy. Host was very good w/ communication. Kitchen needed a good cleaning as there were cobwebs that had grease buildup above the stove. Kitchen barely had any cookware. The enclosed breezeway/porch would have been more enjoyable if it was also clean.

Bay front property

We did have a good time on our stay here and the property has a beautiful view. The place really does need some TLC. First of all there were only 5 towels and we had 6 people. The toilet seat was being held on with one bolt and it would move everytime you sat down! There are not outlets in the bathroom and no mirrors anywhere else in the house. The railings on the back deck are not secure and if you leaned on them you would fall and definitely get hurt!

Good enough

It was fine. Door code given was not correct so we had to call the property manager (big company, not just a homeowner). That got taken care of quick. House is fine, a little janky. There was only one trash can in the entire house. Definitely needed one in the bathroom. No rags for showers. A remote was broken in the main room. Saw a mouse run in the kitchen one day. We're not fancy people so that stuff didn't really bug us. I'm kind of annoyed by the not-so-veiled threat in the description that if you don't rate them a 10, they won't rent out any properties to you in the future. That's pretty much bribery. Location is on a busy road, but the river access was good. Would be good for a fishing trip and was fine for us.

Great location

Walking distance from a Kwik Trip. Kayak and boat rental 2 doors down and tons of amenities close by. Downtown was a 6 dollar uber ride. We'd love to return in the summer when we'll be able to spend more time outside, on the water. Great for small family get togethers!

Get what you pay for

Unfortunately we were less than impressed with this rental, and really the first time we’ve had anything negative to say about a VRBO. This was an inexpensive rental, so we weren’t expecting luxury, but the kitchen faucet was broken, linens worn and pilled, no mattress pads on mattresses that were stained, ceiling fans and window sills very dirty, carpeting stained. I understand some structural limitations in an older home, but some of these things are easily fixed. On the positive side, it’s a beautiful location on the water and sunrise from the dock was awesome.

Great Experience

We were up in the are for Oktoberfest Race Weekend at Lacrosse Fairgrounds Speedway. Property had everything you needed, as we were not there a ton. Just sleeping and showers. Would be a great place during the summer, with a riverfront back yard, and plenty of space to hang out and have a fire, etc.
