Absolutely perfect cabin for our weekend. We were in town for a wedding and the biggest downfall is that we didn’t get to spend much time at the cabin! We hope to be back for a more relaxed weekend where we can spend time in the beautiful cabin!

Beautiful property with a beautiful view. The hosts provided lots of games, both indoor and outdoor, and comfortable amenities. Has a cabin in the woods feel but still a very easy quick drive to La Crescent and La Crosse.

Great place for exploring the river towns

Everything was great and exactly as described. Loved the screened in porch for reading and relaxing, although it took a little getting used to the sounds of motorcycles on the highway! Didn’t hear any of that noise when inside the house. Lots of games, puzzles and a fully stocked kitchen. Thanks!!
