Pleasant, clean, convenient

Really nice clean house and property. The lilacs in the backyard we could smell as soon as we parked in the convenient off street parking behind the house at our private entrance. Less than 10 minute drive to downtown ammenities. We had everything we needed. Well priced. Nice sheets, plenty of pillows, comfy bed. Quality soap, shampoo, lotion available and a nice hot shower. We would love to stay here again when we make it back to La Crosse.

Wonderful home away from home!

We were greeted by Tan and Susan upon arrival. Such gracious, welcoming hosts! The Morris House Apartment more than met my friend's and my needs as we explored the lovely town of LaCrosse. It's very walkable to downtown and its fun shops, restaurants, and the delightful Riverwalk area. (Don't miss the International Friendship Gardens!) We would definitely recommend this rental to anyone visiting LaCrosse.

A Special Home Away from Home

This was our second time staying at the Morris house. It was a hot June weekend, so we appreciated the comfortable bed and room air conditioner in our bedroom. The apartment was a welcome respite after several outings in the heat. We made coffee in the mornings, and we grilled steak in the outdoor grill on Saturday night. Love that there is a fridge, freezer and other regular kitchen appliances. We had done a little grocery shopping, but we forgot to buy butter, so I think we will adjust our grocery list to include milk and butter next time. It was nice that there were ice cube trays in the freezer. The place is decorated so cute that is feels like a special home away from home. We liked that we could park behind the house which was closest to our entry door. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful clean property and great hosts

It has all the charm of a Victorian home including furniture, but also a modern bathroom and kitchen. Very comfortable with lots of areas to congregate. This is the perfect place if you’re a little nervous about travelling like we were. Having your own separate entrance made me feel very secure. Susan and Tan are wonderful hosts. They live in the main house so we would sometimes see them in the mornings and evenings. They are very accommodating and willing to answer questions.

Adorable Upstairs Apartment In Beautiful Neighborhood

We were attracted to this property because it offered a private entrance and a kitchenette. We were trepidatious about traveling during the Coronovirus pandemic, but this facility was clean and allowed us to cook our own meals. The unit is up a flight of steep stairs, so this would not be a fit for someone who cannot do stairs. The unit is in a very well kept neighborhood in La Crosse, Wisconsin. We visited in August and walked the neighborhood. The neighboring homes were older, well kept and charming. Many home owners in the area had planted flowers near the walk ways, and we could enjoy a great variety of colorful blooms. It was a hot time of summer, so we appreciated how cool the apartment was with its air conditioning units. Coffee maker and toaster worked well. We cooked a bit on the stove, and the owner lit a fire in the back yard wood barbeque area two nights, so we could grill our meats. Our hosts were very accommodating, and they were usually present as they live in the main part of the house. We used the out door area in the back yard each evening during our stay, and we stayed 3 nights. We plan to stay again when we go to La Crosse in the future, and we would reccommend it to others.
