New listing! Log Cabin Lake House on Lake Onalaska

4.7 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviews5 months ago

The place is nice, quiet and even though the neighbors are pretty close you still feel very private. The only issue I had was the steps leading down to the dock/water area are a bit treacherous and I couldn’t get the elderly in laws down there but it was still a very nice stay and definitely stay again.

'RiverSong' Waterfront La Crosse Home w/ Dock

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 75 reviews2 weeks ago

This house was a gem. What I especially loved was that it still had its vintage vibe and wasn’t Airbnb cookie-cutter. It’s quiet and at the end of what feels like a cul-de-sac. We reallly wish it had been warmer to take advantage of their cute fire pit with perfectly outfitted fire-starting stuff. Indeed, it was over the top with the organization and what they provided for just the fires alone. Loved having the water and dock there. Beds were comfortable for the 4 60+yo women travelling together, especially since there were twin beds in one of the rooms. We did have a problem with the internet, and the owners came by after their evening meeting. They got it straightened out right away. Kitchen had more than adequate supplies for what most people would need. Seriously loved the vintage vibe along with the mod cons. Great place if you don’t mind driving—there is nothing close to walk to. La Crosse is small enough that it doesn’t take long to get anywhere. Enjoy!

My wife and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. So many great things about this place. The location was right on the trail and water, within walking distance of a great Italian place called Angelini's, and a short drive to the town of Onalaska. The guest house was cozy and had great amenities. we especially loved the hot tub. Shy was friendly and communicated clearly about how to get in and what to do. I'd definitely stay again if visiting Onalaska and La Crosse.
