Love, Love, Love! Absolutely the best place to stay if you have a group of people. The house is so much more spacious inside than it looks, is very clean, and has everything you need. Beth was such an awesome host from the time I booked until the time we checked out. She answers all questions promptly and includes all the little things that make your stay even more special. We would definitely stay here again - hopefully for the wedding. Thank you!

New Year's Tradition

We usually spend New Year's with family in LaCrosse. Family's recent move brought us to this part of town, and a VRBO with a yard for the dog seemed the best option. This house was perfect for our needs: room for everyone, beds for everyone, full kitchen with large refrigerator, within walking distance of family, large park nearby (although we only walked the dog there--too cold to play), fully fenced-in yard to let the dog out when returning late and again early in the morning when wanting to sleep in. Check-in was easy, Beth was communicative. There were extra touches like a personal hand-written note welcoming us; a hot chocolate station in the kitchen; and toothbrushes, toohtpaste and razors if you (or your kids!) forgot to pack something. Room in the enrty closet for shoes and winter coats. Decorated for Christmas. We had a very nice stay, and I highly recommend this place!

Christmas in LaCrosse

This was a great location, centrally located for our family to meet up at. About a 2 hour drive for us and each of our 3 adult children. The house was perfectly appointed with much attention to detail. From the coffee station, hot chocolate bar, and well stocked kitchen appliances, we had everything we needed to cook, play games, watch movies and celebrate Christmas. We had planned to go see the Christmas lights, but had a sick grandson, so ended up at Gunderson Lutheran twice. We were grateful for a comfortable space that could meet our unexpected needs. As well as well posted info on local businesses and hospitals. If we ever have need to stay in the LaCrosse area, would definitely book again!

UWL 2024 winter commencement ceremony

To attend my son's commencement ceremony, we made the trip to La Crosse. We had originally planned to stay at one of the hotels, but we were overjoyed to find this beautiful house. It was a pleasure working with Beth. The house was simply wonderful. We had no idea what to anticipate, but wow, this was far more than any of the rentals I've stayed in. It is amazing how much attention to detail was put into making accommodations and providing all the extras. The house was holiday-decorated and immaculate. We just had an amazing time! Any parent who has a child at UWL or an event coming up should reserve this property, in my opinion. My only regret is that I should have known a few years sooner rather than booking a room at one of the nearby hotels.
