We LOVE this home, neighborhood and city. We brought a shelter dog with us to get a night away and the host is so gracious opening her place for this opportunity. Mia had the time of her life, and we did too, and we will be back!

Great Stay!

Great communication! Super price for the area. We've stayed her two times now for a sport's tournament and it was the perfect place to relax each evening. Clean, cute, had everything we needed and much better than staying in a noisy hotel with the rest of the team :) The owners are great--super friendly too!

Great little place!

This house is a great little place to stay while in Lacrosse, 5 or 10 minutes to some great boat ramps accessing Black River and Dresbach Dam. Lots of food options and fuel is close. Enough room to back a boat into the driveway for safe overnight parking also!Thank you, Jaime and Spencer for offering this space for everyone to enjoy!
