About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Martha's Place

This cabin is conveniently located right next to the city park, 3 Bar and Grills. 1 mile to Whitewater State Park and just 15 minutes to put your boat in the Mississippi River. Lots of beautiful scenery to hike, bike, walk the trails, fishing in natural streams and climb the Elba Fire Tower for some sights to see! Great for hunting of all kinds or just to get away for a while. Completely remodeled inside and out. Modern amenities and a little old school flare.
The space
This unique little old style house will make you feel like you are deep in the woods, yet when you walk outside you're right downtown.
Guest access
Two stall private driveway to park on with Front door and Patio access.

Quiet hideaway
Martha’s Place was fully equipped, very clean, and provided a great escape for our vacation. The neighborhood was quiet and the area was scenic and had opportunities for walking and hiking.

December weekend at Martha's
Martha's place was a wonderful place for our group of 4 adults while visiting family in the area. Clean! Warm and cozy with plenty of room to gather for meals and to be social. Great that we could bring our fur babies along. The grand kids came to visit and enjoyed snacks at the breakfast bar and playing at the park next to the house. We will definitely stay at Martha's place again.

Great Thanksgiving Getaway
The family booked Martha's Place to visit my oldest son that is working nearby during Thanksgiving. We were looking for a nice quiet place with character, and this place worked out perfect. Uniquely decorated and nestled in hills near Whitewater State Park. Kitchen appliances were very nice, and the family room had plenty of space for 6 adults. We had concerns about only having one bathroom, but it really wasn't an issue. We all agreed that we would stay there again.

Friend and family reunion
This was a wonderful property set in the bluffs near Whitewater State Park. It is near a variety of places to visit, including the WhitewaterState Park, Perrot Sate Park in Wisconsin,Winona, Lake Pepin to name a few. The home was very well stocked. We primarily cooked our own food which was easy as the kitchen had the things you needed.The host was very kind-(she left a wonderful dessert for our stay) All 4 of us completely enjoyed our time there and plan to come back in the future!!
