Great location
Walking distance from a Kwik Trip. Kayak and boat rental 2 doors down and tons of amenities close by. Downtown was a 6 dollar uber ride. We'd love to return in the summer when we'll be able to spend more time outside, on the water. Great for small family get togethers!

Not a chance I would stay here.
No address by the street. Railing broken to go up steps to the door. Pitch dark when we arrived so no way to see the keypad without a flashlight. No smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detectors. No ice maker, freezer was awful and dirty. Plastic cover on bed upstairs so laying on it you would crinkle loudly all night. Pillows in pillow shams, no pillowcases on bed. No extra blankets. No amenities at this place. We left and did not stay. Found other accommodations. Host was very rude and unkind when I made them aware of our concerns and asked for a refund. They were unwilling to work with us at all.

Dead bugs in basket of afghans. Kitchen: broken faucet, some broken drawer pulls; grease on stove; oven smoked when 1st used; broken floor tile; several non-working outlets and switches; no dishwashing soap, only 1 dishcloth/towel, stained potholder. Only 4 small pans with either broken handles or peeling non-stick coating. Bathroom: no outlets, worn towels. No toiletries provided. "Picky" toilet on flushing. Lower bedroom: dead bugs in between very worn sheets on the bed. Dirty carpet. Broken window blind. Upstairs bedrooms: insufficient and worn linens; badly stained, smelly carpets.

This property is in need of TLC. There were things, that included safety issues, that needed to be fixed and in reading other reviews, it appears these things were an issue for some time. Paint, cleaning, better curb appeal would go a long way.

Get what you pay for
Unfortunately we were less than impressed with this rental, and really the first time we’ve had anything negative to say about a VRBO. This was an inexpensive rental, so we weren’t expecting luxury, but the kitchen faucet was broken, linens worn and pilled, no mattress pads on mattresses that were stained, ceiling fans and window sills very dirty, carpeting stained. I understand some structural limitations in an older home, but some of these things are easily fixed. On the positive side, it’s a beautiful location on the water and sunrise from the dock was awesome.

Great Experience
We were up in the are for Oktoberfest Race Weekend at Lacrosse Fairgrounds Speedway. Property had everything you needed, as we were not there a ton. Just sleeping and showers. Would be a great place during the summer, with a riverfront back yard, and plenty of space to hang out and have a fire, etc.

Fishing trip
Great house, great location. We were there to go fishing and it was ideal for that. We had a great time. Everything was perfect with the house the dock. And the water. It could use some electricity at the dock as we had to run 300 feet of extension cord to charge the batteries in the boat. Overall wonderful, we would rent it again.

Great location, close to everything. The house is plenty spacious and the view from the deck is beautiful. Having a driveway was a big plus to park the boat. I will be back again.

Good value for the price but bring your own supplies
The location and property itself was just fine however, we had to go get toilet paper, hand soap, and papertowels because there weren't any and toilet paper is something that was actually listed as an amenity. Sent a message regarding this and there wasn't a response I would also bring your own towels and sheets

Great location
I received a call the first night from my crew, they said the water was not draining in the tub and filling up. I was getting ready to let you know, but they got back to me and said they were able to unclog the drain. Otherwise, the loculation was great for us. We have more work this summer and I may be contacting you again.

Beautiful Bay View
We really enjoyed the outdoor amenities. The fishing was good. We relaxed watching the sun come up on the bay. We even enjoyed the sand beach, grilling out and a fire in the pit. The closed in porch made enjoying the bay possible on the rainy day. We had a very relaxing visit.

Visiting
Location was fine but some minor issues with house. The railing as you walk up front porch was completely rusted off and broken at base causing hazard. The windows blinds were hard to open and some of wind screens didn’t appear to fit properly possibly allowing bugs in. Plus there was a large brown stain on the wall in the bathroom and fixtures loose. These of course are minor cosmetic issues but for general appeal and safety should be addressed.

BBQ Grill; Parking
Per the rental manager, there was a useable gas grill and plenty of parking space. The gas grill was filthy dirt with maggets inside of it. There was only the driveway which made it very difficult getting into from the street which is a main access from I-90.

Just ok
Average place. Fairly clean, ok beds, tiny, cheap living room furniture. I see reviews from 6 months ago about the broken railing, still not fixed. Even worse is the wood railing behind the house. Someone is going to get hurt. Reasonable price, got what we paid for.

Disappointed
We were very excited about our stay. My husband and three small children came for the weekend to see family in the area. Not sure if it was a fluke because other reviews mentioned the place being clean but upon our arrival we were very disappointed with the cleanliness of the place. We have a one year old who puts everything in their mouth and was constantly picking up things off the ground in every room. It was late when we arrived and with little kids we weren’t about to leave but still wanted to let the host know of our disappointment and in case they hired out the work that it was not done. She was very rude and over the top in all of her responses. We will definitely not be returning to stay here ever again.

Very comfortable cottage where we were able to meet friends for our once a year get together. Although weather and health prohibited our plans to canoe and sit by the fire, we had a very enjoyable time. We will plan to come again next year.

Long weekend
The placement of the house was very nice and close to lots of things and fairly easy to find. Several things on the properties needed repairs including stair railings and lights. And it needs more adult type seating in the living room, a loveseat and 2 rickety chairs not comfortable. Can't believe the only bathroom had no electrical outlet. Beds were fine.
