Fairly quiet marina on French Island. Easy walk to Veterans Park, Tom Sawyers is a great restaurant at the base of the marina which offers on site dining/bar or take away to your boat. Minutes to other restaurants and outdoor activities.
Walk easily to numerous bars and restaurants on French Island. Plenty of off street parking across the street.
Keep in mind this is a boat on the river. There is motion, albeit very subtle. Things rust easily and get dirty very quickly on the water. We have an onboard water storage system consisting of a 100 gallon water tank and a 75 gallon grey tank. The marina is great about pumping out the grey tank weekly or as needed and there is a water slicker near the boat for refilling the water tank. If you need help with either please let us know. Waterslide is not to be used while boat is docked per marina rules. Guests are not allowed to take boat out of the slip. If you desire a cruise, that can be added for an additional $300/hour with a minimum 3 hour cruise. No additional guests allowed on boat without permission prior. Numerous items unique to boat living are important to review before your stay. A guidebook will be shared prior to check in with these items including water usage, parking instructions and where to find the boat. All garbage must be removed from boat and taken to dumpster prior to departure.
For entertainment, guests can expect to find TVs. Kitchens, balconies, and refrigerators are also standard.

Quiet marina. Greg and April were very responsive to messages and were able to get the heat on for us quickly after some unexpected cool nights! We had a great stay and our 1 year old had a fun time exploring the boat!

It’s nice, it’s not a yacht. Let’s be real it’s a house boat. The bathroom is tight but it’s a boat so that is to be expected. There was some issues with things on the boat. Fans on top deck didn’t work, the lock and key fobs didn’t work, the lock took several times to get it to open. Parking is not ideal but it worked. It was very clean and it was nice to be on the water, my wife loved it and it was ok for me.

Just as it was described. Even with a strong storm, it was a gentle rock and wind noise - but safe and sound!

Great Weekend Stay
Everything looked like the pictures. Sitting up top in the morning for coffee or at night for socializing was nice. Three restaurants/bar grills were in walking distance along with a Kwik Trip. It was about a 5 minute drive to downtown La Crosse. Fun time. Fun town.
