River Rambler

Peaceful bay front home with dock. Lovely west facing deck warmed by lots of sunshine. Clean and updated with stylish decor. The five person hot tub is set up in the third bay for the garage (unheated) for year round use.

We are on the Richmond Bay side of the Black River. These areas connect by boat with the Mississippi River to the north and west. The location is convenient to downtown La Crosse (just 5 minutes) as well as the interstate (again 5 minutes). The neighborhood is quite friendly with people out walking and visiting with one and other.

The bedrooms are tucked away at one end while the kitchen and living areas are at the other. All the amenities you need for the perfect vacation!

Great Property!

We had a very enjoyable stay. Everything was exactly as described. The house was very nicely decorated and clean, the beds super comfortable, and Jami was a great communicator. If I’m ever in need of a place to stay in La Crosse I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful stay on the water

We loved the house and all the amenities. Jami was a fantastic host and Nikki the Cat provided us with endless entertainment with her attempts to join us! We would absolutely stay again if given the opportunity.

Inviting

My sisters and cousins (6 total) stayed at the property comfortably. The host was very nice and easy to work with. The kitchen was well stocked and the linens were nice. We did enjoy the hot tub and the back deck. However, we were not able to take advantage of the kayaks and water access. We all loved the decor and the layout as there were private places to have conversations without disturbing those who wanted to watch the television. It was in a pleasant and quiet neighborhood with an easy short ride to the downtown area. The checkout process was very simple. It was nice to have use of the garage.

Small Bachelor Party Weekend

Perfect location for a few guys to get together for a low key weekend in La Crosse. Loved being on the river and able to enjoy nature and kayaking straight from the backyard. Quick drive to downtown for bars and restaurants as well. Everything was expected from the online booking.
