Great, with one complaint
Cabin was very nice and comfortable. Location was great. Not far from Root River biking, La Crosse biking and other activities, Winona biking (love the lake path) and other activities. Como Falls, state parks. Host was very attentive and helpful. Only complaint is that its hard to enjoy the screened-in porch and deck due to all the traffic noise, train noise, and boat noise. Of course, we were out and about most of the time!

Great impromptu stay
We had an unexpected change of plans due to the weather and we were looking for a place to stay for our large group. This location was available and close by so we figured we'd give it a try. The entire group was very happy we did! The house was fantastic with all the amenities we could want. The view is outstanding which was an added perk when we were sitting out on the screened porch drinking our coffee in the morning. The host was very quick and responsive with any communication. We all enjoyed our stay so much we are considering making it an annual get together.

LaCrosse Visit
We very much enjoyed staying at River Den. It was even better then we expected. The location was perfect - could see the Mississippi wetlands from the deck and we loved watching the birds coming to the feeders that the owners supplied. The grounds were beautiful with flowers. The deck was perfect for relaxing which we did a lot of. The beds were comfortable and everything we needed was there and the cabin was immaculate. We couldn't have asked for a better rental. Thank You for allowing us to stay at River Den.

In town for Viterbo University Graduation Weekend
This place is clean, beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing fun weekend. We were just 15 minutes away from LaCrosse where my daughter graduated from college. It was a great place for family to gather after commencement. We enjoyed the screened in porch, deck, and beautiful lawn. We had plenty of room inside because of the main level and lower level gathering spaces. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything a person could need. And, the host was so helpful, friendly and accomodating. I only wish I would have discovered this place when my daughter was a freshman, so we could have stayed there more often! Highly recommended!

Home away from home
The cabin and property were beautiful. Everything was exceptionally clean and newly renovated. It had a fully stocked kitchen and then some. The option to be downstairs with the patio doors leading outside or staying in on the screened in porch was awesome. When we visited it was rainy so to have the screened in porch was great. We still felt like we were out in nature and not stuck indoors. It was very peaceful. We can’t wait to go back.
