About this property

Auggie's home in Mississippi

This 2017 built home overlooks the beautiful Mississippi River. It is located 15 minutes from La Crosse W, 15 miles from New Albin, and 27 miles from Lansing, IA. It is within a mile distance from a boat launch and about 3 miles of a public boat launch away Wild Cat Campground. This area is host to whitetail deer, wild turkeys, bass, northern pike, walleye, and various pan fish. Our home is right on the Mississippi River Trail for bike riders. (The house is only available in summers..we live here in the winter.)

There is room to park your boat and outdoor electric hook-up to charge it. Though the master suite is not included in the rental, there is room for 6 in beds and more if you want to bring an air mattress/sleep on couches. If available, rent apartment as well and there are two more queen sized beds available in the same dwelling.

Our house is along Mississippi Pool 8 area. There are many local and major league (Bass Master Elite, Bass Master Open and Major League Fishing) fishing tournaments in this pool. If you like walleye, northern pike or pan fishing, it is possible here too.

Situated in a driftless region, this area is home to scenic bluffs and valleys with gorgeous views from both Minnesota and Wisconsin. We are 15 min from downtown La Crosse, WI and 15 minutes from the Iowa border. The area also boasts wonderful trout streams for fly fishing enthusiasts. White tail deer and Eastern wild turkeys make their home here and offer memory making hunting and/or scouting opportunities for interested individuals. In the fall, many people travel here to see the swans/other birds in the sanctuary south of Brownsville. We commonly see eagles and pelicans all summer long.

This house is along Mississippi Pool 8 area. There are many local and major league (Bass Master Elite, Bass Master Open and Major League Fishing) fishing tournaments in this pool during the summer months.

It is a truly beautiful and peaceful rural location with quick access to a bigger city and all the options you expect to find there. You may see, and hear, barges and/or trains going up and down the river hauling their loads. (The train crossings are over a mile away, so their horns can be heard, but most guests indicate they are not too intrusive. )

Come enjoy a wonderful vacation with us in Brownsville Minnesota.

Great home on the Mississippi

This was a very nice home fronting the Mississippi. It had plenty of room for our family of 5 and we were only a few minutes from a local boat launch and a short drive to LaCrosse. The cookies were also a very nice touch.

We came for an event in LaCrosse - it was a quick and easy 20 minute drive - perfect! The home has everything you can think of - and very comfortable beds! The directions for getting in are really easy and Paula was super responsive and great to work with.

Quiet, spacious, well maintained home with beautiful views of the Mississippi

This home was quiet, and clean. It had comfortable beds, three large TV’s, nice kitchen with many kitchen supplies, and large comfortable sectionals in the living room. The large A-frame window offered beautiful views of the Mississippi. The family’s love of deer hunting was evident in the home. Paula was quick to respond to our needs. I would highly recommend this VRBO.

Amazing experience!

The owner Paula was awesome! The house is comfortable, well taken care of, clean and has all the things you need. We stayed there for a bachelorette party and spent a lot of our time relaxing at the house playing games at the table and enjoying the beautiful view of the Mississippi River. Only a 20 minute drive from downtown LaCrosse. It was too hot for a campfire during our visit but we would have utilized the covered fire pit if we could have! Very reasonably priced and great place. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Our favorite things about this property are the VIEW through the huge windows, and all the comfy reclining seating! The shower was great; we had all the necessities required to make a few meals; it was so peaceful. We had no trouble with the entry code; and we REALLY appreciated the motion sensor lights on the garage, as we came back after dark one night. Thank you Augedahls!

Super easy check in process, the host was very understanding when we had a change of plans and allowed us to check in a night early. The house is very clean an comfortable. The view from the living room is incredible and watching the barges and trains pass was fantastic.We were there for the BASS National Championship and the boat parking was sufficient for our needs. You have to be able to turn around in a tight spot to make it work how it's all up on the hill but it's easy enough and plenty of plug-ins available. You can't turn north out of the driveway but here is a turnaround across the street that worked perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Paula and Aaron Augedahl

Host profile image
We built our house in 2017, but during the summer time, we live at our boathouse a mile away. We have hosted a rental apartment above the garage out of our home for a year now and it has been a wonderful experience. As there is so few options for out-of-towners, we decided to also open our main home to renters during the summer.

Why they chose this property

We actually built this house. Our 3 children were grown and gone, so we no longer felt the need to stay in our hometown. As we lived in Brownsville during summer at our BH and loved it, we bought the lot we built on in 2015. We took that fall and the next summer to clear the area around it to protect the future house from falling trees and opened up the view. Our plans included a bonus room above the garage, but we were going to leave it empty for the next homeowners. My husband got the idea that we should run a vacation rental unit out of it, so we decided to finish it ourselves and have been in business since the summer of 2018.

What makes this property unique

This house has private quarters and during summer, access to the full house, minus the master suite. It overlooks the beautiful Mississippi River and is close to LaCrosse WI, only 15 minutes away. Both the house and the apartment have a feeling of home. They have what you need to live comfortably and connected with close access to a bigger city's options, should you want more than the quiet, small river town has to offer.
