Relaxing retreat

We had a fantastic stay at this property. It was the perfect spot to unwind—super relaxing with a peaceful vibe. We enjoyed the hiking trails. The place was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. Comfort was top-notch, and we couldn’t have asked for more.

Quite and beautiful

We stayed here for our wedding weekend, what an absolute gem! Our pup loved roaming around the property, we loved the open concept and beautiful kitchen! Julie was super easy to get into contact with for all of our questions and getting to wake up and watch their horses roam was a highlight. We most definitely will be staying here again. If you are thinking of booking just do it!

Spotless & quiet rural retreat

Beautiful 3-bedroom home in a scenic agricultural valley. Everything you need for a calm getaway is provided! Wife & I enjoyed a refreshing "unplugged" time away with our two dogs after an especially stressful Christmas season and the unexpected loss of my father. No snow this January, but we all enjoyed hiking the property's wooded trails.

Fantastic Secluded Property

The location is an incredible little valley of farms. It felt more like parts of Colorado than Minnesota. The home is lovely and one of the better outfitted rental properties I have stayed in. We had a blast and will definitely stay again in the future.

We had an enjoyable quick stay. The location was beautiful, and felt remote while being close to the highway. We enjoyed being able to take our dogs on a walk through the woods on the trails. Would recommend.

A Quiet Getaway

We enjoyed our quiet stay on the outskirts of La Crosse. The views were beautiful, and we were close to many great bike trials in and around La Crosse. Our little dog was afraid the horses on the adjoining property, so we didn't spend as much time outside as we had hoped, but we still enjoyed our stay.

We loved our stay at Julie's place. As people who live in the city, we appreciated the opportunity to escape the noise and lights of our typical environment. We intend to make it an annual trip as it's the perfect little weekend escape for us :)

Wonderful little trip

We had a great short trip to celebrate our anniversary. Beautiful area nestled in the valley. Our dogs were with and loved the land and saying hi to the horses. We saw deer every day and had a nice walk through the trails on the property. Hope to visit again next year. The home has everything you need with large rooms and comforts of home. Thanks!
