Great location! Cozy neat cabin! Thanks for snacks! Front porch light was burned out so dark to go in and out at night! Feel like you might have fleas in yard or cabin! Felt well furnished! Great to have WIFI and Rocu TV.

Mississippi Bluffs weekend
We really enjoyed the stay. Darling place that’s close to Winona and cute places in Fountain City. We did wine tasting in town, went to the oldest continuously operating Pub in Wisconsin, sat on the patio and listened to live music with a drink overlooking the river. Went biking and hiking and explored the area. We loved being able to have our two dogs with us!!

cute and cozy cabin
This cabin was very well laid out, clean and nicely decorated. Plenty of dishes, flatwear, etc. The location is right on the highway, as are most of the living quarters in town, so a bit noisy, but convenient for our stay. Close to nice eateries. A bit pricey with the added costs- came out to $250 + a day.

Perfect weekend getaway!
The cabin was comfortable, Very clean and VERY well stocked! The host was great, I had left an item behind and she offered to mail it to me! The train didn't bother us at all! House is solid and they didn't blow the horn as there was no crossing there. So just a light rumble was all. I would stay there again!

Cozy spot near Winona
We loved our stay in this cozy cabin. We spent most of our time traveling into Winona and this was very easy and short to get to from there. We enjoyed having a place apart to relax to. And loved driving up and down beautiful hwy 35 on the Wisconsin side stopping in all the little towns (and picking up some Castlerock Sourdough!).
