Nice, clean renovated barn with tedious stairs

The rental was clean, had a fully stocked kitchen, and the beds were comfortable, The property description needs to state that the main living/kitchen area is up a rather steep set of stairs & that there are no bathrooms on that level. Anyone in your group that considers this VRBO and considers using the loft sleeping area should know that because they have to go down the spiral stairs from the loft & then go down that set of stairs to use the bathroom on the lowest level.We chose not to use the loft bedroom because of that inconvience. Also, our group was rather put off by the owner request to start a load of towels in the washer before we left. We felt that we were on vacation and shouldn't have to do laundry, particularly since we were paid a cleaning fee.

Hard to cook without water!

The lack of water preasure in the kitchen makes it hard to do much of anything, luckily most of the meals were prepped ahead, but twice as much time had to be spent on cleaning up, which is a disappointing way to spend a fun weekend away.All the people who slept in not the king bed were a bit disappointed in mattress quality, especially the twin beds and trundles. The king bed had to deal with the beetles though.Not a ton that could be done about the Asian beetles, but the combination of quantity and them swarming the chandelier above the only table meant they were constantly dropping down onto us.

Best Family Get Away

Wow, what an absolutely amazing place. The pictures do not do justice. Not because they are bad pictures.... just this place is so cool!!! We came for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary to spend some quality family time together and blue did not disappoint. So many places just to chill and the kitchen was great to make family dinners. Our young adult kids loved the game room. The electronic pinball machine was actually quite addicting. Everything was clean; the tv room is set up very nice for watching a movie and they have the best bean bag (love sac brand). We took day trips to La Cross and hit a winery. Tip for any people who work out. The anytime fitness down the road sells day passes and we used that. Great place, great host. So charming!!!

Wisconsin Dart Team Stay - WAMO

We really enjoyed the stay at Big Blue. Interior of the place was exactly per the pics. Sleeping 12+ people there may be tough with only two bathrooms. Bunk beds are on the small side (normal), but they worked for our needs. Kitchen was very nice, no issues whatsoever. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Seating in the general area upstairs was adequate. Couple recliners would be a nice add. We enjoyed the outside sitting area. Would be nice to have a deck out back. Access to HWY 90 was super simple. Our host Jaimie answered all of our questions. We loved our stay and will most certainly check this out again in the future.

Great get-away

Place looked like the pictures. We enjoyed our time together. Fantastic table to gather around. Major stores for thing you may need are only 10 minutes away. Quick replies from owner on all requests or questions. We had the same water pressure issues as others listed, but a quick rinse of the faucet filters cleaned it right up. And as others noted, there is no bathroom on the floor with the kitchen/gathering space. Overall it was a great find for our family.

Very cute place!

Clean, cute and comfortable! Wouldn’t recommend for elderly only because of all the steps, could have more knives in kitchen (only 3 and we had 8 adults) and water pressure in bathrooms were low but not that we had to have someone come out to fix. It was an easy drive from La Crosse, owners were quick to respond and friendly!
