Cozy 3 bedroom
Nice place for what we were looking for. (3 bedrooms) The only slight improvements needed are water pressure in shower was lacking. The water does have a slight smell. Beds were comfortable. Nice kitchen, great view of water, with dock access. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Mother’s Day Stay
We enjoyed the French Island vibe. We ate at River Rats and Tom Sawyers, great food and people. Enjoyed the dock and fishing. Wish beach was little cleaner but it is spring. Ceiling fans all worked and slept great. Liked the king size bed. Couldn’t find a sheet they said was left with WiFi info. They did get that to us. Was a perfect Mother’s Day weekend in the La crosse area.

Very disappointed.
Place looks nice inside. Water smelled like rotten eggs. Shower head was not working correctly. No water pressure. Very disappointed. Reading the reviews after I had already booked this is an ongoing issue. Back from at least 2023. I feel I should get a 50% refund. I literally didn’t shower

Girls weekend
House was the perfect size and location for our trip. The only issue and it was a pretty big one was with the water. It had a strong sulfer smell. When I reported to owner, she said we should have just ran the water longer and it would have gone away. There were 5 females..flushing toilets, washing dishes etc. Smell never went away. So strong that we didn't want to shower in it.

Smelly Water
Cute but not clean, water was unusable for washing, eating cooking or drinking- sulfur smell almost gagged you! Beds were comfortable. Toliet seat fell off on second day. Nothing in Lacrosse Down town was open due to road construction- I was not happy with my trip at all.

Decent rental
Cute decor with a few quirks. Wi-Fi sketchy. Suggestions - garbage can in bathroom, large fry pan, directions for coffee pot (never saw one that brewed and then warmed). Worked for our quick stay and great location for our needs. Owner quick to respond.

Ok
No hair dryer, no mirror in main bedroom, not enough amenities.. only 2 rolls of toilet paper, no spare, Cobb webs at front door and windows in kitchen, water smells like sewer. The shower water smells like sewer and so we didn’t want to shower. Could use some really good scrubbing/cleaning. Weedy path to the dock. Way too many electrical outlets and switches, dirty windows.
Beautiful view from the dock, 2 big TV’s . Master bedroom was spacious and more updated. Bed was comfortable.

Good night's sleep at the Lake House.
The photos on VRBO don't do this comfy lake cottage justice.
The primary bedroom was bright and HUGE! A king size bed looked tiny in it. The bed was extremely comfy. I felt spoiled in this modern farmhouse decorated room.
The teens were happy with their rooms and said the beds were surprisingly comfy as well and they slept well. (Okay...the 6'1" one complained about a twin bed...but it was really just fine.) My daughter's boyfriend joined us on our trip--it was nice having a separate bedroom for him as a hotel would not have offered me that sleeping comfort!
The dining room and kitchen seemed very adequate. We didn't do any cooking, but it seemed well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, baking dishes, etc.
The family room was cute too...I felt like I was revisiting my youth in the mid century modern decor. Lots of games. We played cards and hung out our last night just to relax a bit after being on the go all day.
Bathroom was tiny, but it had a shower and a toilet--all we needed.
We also enjoyed sitting out on the huge dock as well.
This was my first VRBO stay and it checked all the boxes that I needed for our weekend getaway. We wanted a bit more space than a hotel and it definitely offered that at a comparable price. We weren't expecting a brand new house. It was an older home with character.
The only trouble we had was I had the wrong code. I called and it was taken care of in less than a minute by the host.
Would stay again!

Good place for the money but lacking amenities.
This place was great for 4 people- plenty of space , but not actually on the river. Lacking some amenities- not enough towels, no hand soap, no dish towels, electric problems.
Beds were comfy and location was good, so overall a good deal for the price.
This was a great property. Checking and checkout easy. It was in the perfect location for a family wedding we were attending.

Fine for a quick stay
Pros: updated decor, necessary amenities were all there - towels, dishes, etc, spacious main bedroom and living room, manager addressed needs quickly.
Cons: needs a deep cleaning - esp floors and carpets, no hand soap in bathroom.

Great location, easy to walk to 3 different bars/restaurants. Enjoyed the outdoor space. Decorated cute but should probably remove the tags from everything.There were not any towels when we arrived but host dropped off some new ones. No dishwasher which was fine but did not have any kitchen towels, sponges or dish soap. We stopped at an estate sale and picked some up as the host didn’t offer to bring any over and we were going to be cooking and eating at the house and therefore needed those supplies. For the price it was a good value.
