Swedish Storybook in bluffs hiking trails & stream

Decades ago, Marilyn, a retired dancer and 1950's founder of a dance school had a dream of building her "Swedish Fantasy House" on a hilltop.

Then, in her eighties, she built it.

Featured in Country Living magazine this gem of La Crosse attracts guest from all over the world with its rich history and design. Every corner of this dream home is covered in murals & plaster cast details. Enjoy the once upon a time of being on perpetual vacation in Rapunzel's house!

Tucked away in the bluffs of LaCrosse.

It was perfect for our family, as we needed a location close to Mt. LaCrosse for a wedding. It has easy access to the downtown LaCrosse sights.

High School State Ice Fishing Tournament

Enjoyed overall

Inside of house as expected, unique. Very clean and comfortable beds. We did not expect the driveway to be so steep and difficult to access. The listing showed a pond but not sure where that was located. Consider adding more eating utensils please. Thanks for sharing your home.
