Awesome place for a group!

We were in town for a UW-L alumni weekend. We have small children so this place was perfect - cost effective, spacious, and close enough to campus to make it to our events. The rooms were all comfortable and the location on the river is beautiful!

Thanksgiving family get together

The home worked out very well for our family get together. Plenty of space in kitchen and living for the group. Only hitch was we did not get the check-in instructions in advance due to email failure which delayed our entry.

Communication

I had to reach out to get the check in code before we arrived. We were unable to use the kitchen refrigerator because meat or something had spoiled in it...we taped the door shut so we didnt open it in error because the smell was nauseating. There was a second frig in the breezeway but with food and drinks for 8 we spent alot on ice. I made the owner aware when we checked in and she said she smelled something and thought it was the garbage disposal, but never came to check it out..I contacted her about missing listed supplies, which were delivered while we were out purchasing them because she didnt acknowledge receiving my email. I expected an email apology after we checked out and maybe a reimbursement offer for our ice, but I have heard nothing.

Home Sweet Home

From the moment you enter the property you feel like it's home. Updated throughout, you get the feeling like you're in Grandma's house. Clean and spacious, you can't wait for your vacation to begin. Kitchen is well laid out, big dinning room, and the living room has an electric fireplace with a Smart TV. Two bedrooms downstairs with full bathroom and 4 bedrooms upstairs with another full bathroom. All the beds are comfortable. Large driveway for parking multiple vehicles. Highly recomend, can't wait to go back.

500 club bowling tournament

Property and owner were just wonderful. Had 8 women all competing on La Crosse for tournament and had a wonderful time. Only suggestion might be to have some larger cookware since home can easily accommodate 12.
