Great place.
We stayed there for our granddaughter's confirmation and invited them over to grill out and do some fishing. The cabin was very clean and the property was everything they said in the description. Everyone enjoyed the property and amenities. My wife and I enjoyed the quietness of the cabin's location when everyone went home. Perfect accommodations.

Great place for a retreat. Lots of activities for those who want action.
It was a very nice home facing a peaceful part of the Mississippi River with lots of privacy. It is more like a home than a typical resort cabin. There was plenty of area to sit outside, with a great view of the moon. I saw canoes and kayaks, but didn't try them out. It's very close to LaCrosse where you can find anything a small city has to offer, including a co-op and hiking trails in the bluffs. I chose the area because it's in the Driftless area with bluff upon bluff, forest area with a variety of trees, and was very colorful in Oct. Now I want to explore WI more.
