Perfect place for a cousin reunion

This place is beautiful - home as well as surrounding countryside. We had lovely views and places to walk. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped… and the hosts were attentive and pleasantly communicative. Addressed any questions we had.

Annual FB friends trip

Our group of women pick a location to travel once a year. This year we choose La Crosse but when I came across this beautiful setting I knew we would love it! Just 15 minutes from downtown LaX, this peaceful valley was a great place to relax after a day sightseeing and shopping.

Cozy Winter House

Everything about this house was fabulous! We enjoyed the large gathering space and all of the places to sit. The card table and chairs even came in handy. The open concept design of the house made it easy for everyone to relax and visit. We also loved the comfy beds. Overall, it was a great weekend, even though we were in town for a funeral. Thanks!

Fall getaway

Lovely home with room for each member of the family to have their own bed. Everyone enjoyed the peaceful views of the horses and hills. The weather was perfect, but we would have been cozy and entertained even in rainy weather. The garage gameroom with fussball and table tennis and more, the fire making supplies all ready to use and the board games mean we could keep anyone occupied. We were able to go out and explore the nearby towns and nature hikes. The dogs really felt at home playing in the yard right away.
