Great stay and customer service!

We enjoyed a family gathering in this great property. It was clean, open, and a great location for the activities we had planned. Great location for anyone in town for UWL activities.

Best VRBO I’ve Booked

This home is immaculate and comfortable. The host goes out of the way to support a great experience. We have stayed at many VRBO homes and this one tops our list so far. Be prepared to enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with generous amenities including a stocked coffee bar and more.You won’t be disappointed when you choose this VRBO!

Convenient Location for Hiking

This house is convenient to excellent hiking trails such as Grandad's Bluff, Hixon Forrest, and Perrot State Park. But more importantly, the property is extremely clean, organized, spacious, and comfy. Our host, Beth, was very attentive and was always a step ahead with welcoming us and guiding us through the exiting process. I would highly recommend this property for a stay.

Perfect spot

It was only a short stay but it was perfect for the 8 of us. Plenty of sleeping space, plenty of supplies if you forgot something(toothbrush, toothpaste, coffee, etc). The backyard was perfect for a fire with plenty of chairs for everyone! I would 100% recommend this place. Also Beth was always in contact with us!

Enjoyable stay

Property was comfy and just what we needed. It was a very warm weekend and the a/c struggled to keep the upstairs BR cool. But this probably isn’t a concern most of the year. The host was good enough to send an appliance part that we accidentally left behind. Much appreciated.

Great House!

Wonderful home to stay at. Much larger inside than the exterior picture reflects. Two bedrooms in the basement, one on main floor and two upstairs which spreads everyone out which is nice. Very clean and modern. Host stayed in touch but never needed anything as house was very well stocked with even some nice unexpected additions. Highly recommend!

Christmas in LaCrosse

This was a great location, centrally located for our family to meet up at. About a 2 hour drive for us and each of our 3 adult children. The house was perfectly appointed with much attention to detail. From the coffee station, hot chocolate bar, and well stocked kitchen appliances, we had everything we needed to cook, play games, watch movies and celebrate Christmas. We had planned to go see the Christmas lights, but had a sick grandson, so ended up at Gunderson Lutheran twice. We were grateful for a comfortable space that could meet our unexpected needs. As well as well posted info on local businesses and hospitals. If we ever have need to stay in the LaCrosse area, would definitely book again!

UWL 2024 winter commencement ceremony

To attend my son's commencement ceremony, we made the trip to La Crosse. We had originally planned to stay at one of the hotels, but we were overjoyed to find this beautiful house. It was a pleasure working with Beth. The house was simply wonderful. We had no idea what to anticipate, but wow, this was far more than any of the rentals I've stayed in. It is amazing how much attention to detail was put into making accommodations and providing all the extras. The house was holiday-decorated and immaculate. We just had an amazing time! Any parent who has a child at UWL or an event coming up should reserve this property, in my opinion. My only regret is that I should have known a few years sooner rather than booking a room at one of the nearby hotels.

New Year's Tradition

We usually spend New Year's with family in LaCrosse. Family's recent move brought us to this part of town, and a VRBO with a yard for the dog seemed the best option. This house was perfect for our needs: room for everyone, beds for everyone, full kitchen with large refrigerator, within walking distance of family, large park nearby (although we only walked the dog there--too cold to play), fully fenced-in yard to let the dog out when returning late and again early in the morning when wanting to sleep in. Check-in was easy, Beth was communicative. There were extra touches like a personal hand-written note welcoming us; a hot chocolate station in the kitchen; and toothbrushes, toohtpaste and razors if you (or your kids!) forgot to pack something. Room in the enrty closet for shoes and winter coats. Decorated for Christmas. We had a very nice stay, and I highly recommend this place!

Wonderful experience!

This property must be a gem in the La Crosse area! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a home vs a hotel for accommodations. The owner is exceptionally responsive and they make the home as inviting as you’d expect a 5-star hotel. The home is super cute, updated, and in terrific condition. Feels much larger than it is with a large comfortable living room and electric fireplace as well as a nice size kitchen and large dining room with table that seats 8. Sleeps 10 comfortably…5 bedroom 2 full baths. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with nearly every utensil, spice, cleaning/storage bag/supply you can think of. Conveniently located right next to UW La Crosse campus and only 3-4 min drive to all the shops, dinning, and nightlife offered in downtown La Crosse. We absolutely loved our experience and will definitely be back because of the place and the owner (Beth…tkdest.com).
