Honestly the cutest place we have ever stayed! The Halloween decorations were a fun touch for our spooky little family, and our toddler especially appreciated the toys and books. It was such a special, cozy stop that felt like home. The location was perfect: tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but still close to downtown. The host, Jaimie, even gave us phenomenal restaurant recommendations. We definitely hope to be back one day! Thanks again!

Faye's place was perfect for our one night stay after a concert at the La Crosse Center. We enjoyed the vintage/theme decor. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment we needed to make and serve breakfast. The host responded quickly to questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Our stay was short, but this home was the perfect overnight getaway for our family of 5. The home looked exactly as described. It was so clean, welcoming, and comfy. We loved the attention to detail throughout the house and the personal touches too. The gazebo was a great place to relax at the end of the day too. We’ll definitely look to stay here again next time we’re in the area!

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!

Christmas Travels

This little cottage was the perfect place to stay while visiting Lacrosse. It's an easy drive to downtown, Campus, or Onalaska. Everything was clean and updated. The decor gave it character. We especially loved the fenced in yard for our dogs. The neighborhood was well kept and felt very safe. We will definitely be back.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
There are several important observations to share regarding our recent stay:Strong Chemical Odor: The smell of insect poison (such as Raid) was pervasive throughout the unit. It was so strong that even clean clothes hung in the closet absorbed the odor.Pest Presence: We encountered roaches in the sinks, which likely explains the heavy use of chemical repellents.Tobacco Smell: In addition to the chemical odor, there was a lingering smell of stale tobacco smoke, which made the environment less pleasant.Unclean Entry Area: The gate handle at the entrance was caked in bird droppings, which gave a poor first impression and posed a hygiene concern.Dishwasher Non-Functional: The dishwasher was not in working condition during our stay.Safety Concern: The steps leading to the entryway are in need of a handrail for safety, especially for guests with mobility concerns.Responsive Ownership: On a positive note, when the hot water stopped working, the owner promptly replaced the heating element the same afternoon, which was appreciated.Overall Impression:While some issues could be overlooked, the overwhelming and persistent odors (chemical and tobacco) were the most difficult to tolerate. Under normal circumstances, we would have looked for alternate accommodations upon arrival, but due to the lack of availability of other two-bedroom properties, we chose to stay and make the best of the situation.
