Great Location, Amazing views

We had a great time. The house was well furnished and big enough for two couples, each on their separate floor. The hot tub looking out over the river was fantastic. I would highly recommend this Vrbo.

Beautiful views & a wonderful stay!

Rustic Ridge was exactly as advertised but even better in person! It was the perfect comfy, cozy, cabin in the woods retreat with absolutely stunning views! We came to escape everyday life and get some peace and quiet and this place gave us exactly that! We were also so grateful to be able to bring our 2 dogs along. The place was clean, well cared for, and stocked with the essentials. We would definitely book this place in the future, no questions. We miss it and the amazing views already!

Quiet stay with a beautiful view

The listing accurately described the stay. We enjoyed the beautiful view, quiet surroundings, and the hot tub was amazing. This is perfect for a quiet getaway and there are plenty of activities in nearby towns.

Lovely cabin with a gorgeous view!

What an amazing view of the Mississippi and the river valley! We enjoyed many amazing sunsets on the wrap around porch. The lower level screened in porch and hot tub were great to have on rainy days or when the bugs got too bad. We enjoyed walking our dog through the quiet neighborhood and peaceful walking paths on the property. The cabin was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for our 1 week stay. The owners have several properties in the area, and judging from the cleanliness, upgrades and little design touches of this chalet, they take great pride in their properties and in providing a great experience for their guests. We'd definitely rent from them again!

Gorgeous views

My husband and I along with our dogs stayed here for a week. Complete relaxation with amazing views. Everything on the description is as stated and even better in person. The hot tub was what sold us on trying this property and it was so relaxing we used it every day. We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your property

Christmas getaway

What an amazing place to stay! Todd and Donna did a great job of setting up the chalet. We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival - it is everything shown in photos and more! It was furnished with everything we needed, provided a tranquil setting including a great view of the river valley. We look forward to a chance to go back and stay there again!

Outstanding property

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is beautifully located, it even includes a meadow with trails for walking. Nice wildlife watching (deer, bluebirds, orioles, butterflies). The house is very clean and beautifully decorated. A hot tub with a view of the Mississippi River is a definite plus! We are already planning our next stay here.

Peaceful

We did a lot of nothing. Settled in. Was able to take our Dog, he is 12 and well behaved and slowing down. Have a daughter that attends UW Lacrosse and was wonderful to visit the area. Thank you so much for allowing dogs. Was wonderful to not have to worry about him being boarded. The house had gorgeous views and everything we needed. Thank you

Amazing weekend stay at this cozy chalet!

This was definitely as advertised. We had an awesome weekend here even with all the flooding of the mighty Mississippi. There was still plenty to do and staying at this cozy cabin with an amazing view was the cherry on top! Couldn't have been more relaxing and we're already planning on coming back this fall!

Peaceful Getaway

If you’re looking at renting this property, do it! Perfect for our couple getaway, quiet, peaceful, and hours in the hot tub. Close enough to bigger towns if you want to adventure otherwise, the cabin is cozy and decorated to stay in and enjoy each other. We LOVED the views and the fireplace to warm up after a quick dip. The cabin would be perfect for a small family getaway as well. Lots of places to explore and hike with little ones or even teenagers. Donna and Todd know what they are doing with their rentals and make sure you feel welcome. We will be checking out their other properties and spreading the word about this quiet little town with everything it has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Todd & Donna Lensing

Host profile image
We have owned the Grandview Motel in Ferryville since 2006. In 2015 we purchased our first vacation rental house and now have 8 for our guests to choose from -- Bayview House, Shoreview Cottage, Eagleview Nest, Riverview Cabin, Vistaview Chalet, Woodview Lodge and Shady Oaks Cabin are all in the Ferryville area, just south of De Soto. Each one has a great view of the Mississippi River and features thoughtfully designed interiors. No two are alike.

Todd is also a professional waterfowl guide and avid fisherman. Donna's passions are interior design and gardening. Prior to the hospitality business we have a combined 35+ years of retail customer service experience. We strive to treat our guests with exceptional vacations at our beautiful properties!

We pride ourselves on providing beautiful places that have been fully inspected by the State of Wisconsin. Every requirement has been met, including annual well water testing. Beauty and comfort are super important along with health and safety.

Why they chose this property

STYLE! This is not your basic cabin. We spend a lot of time finding the exact right elements and designs for our vacation homes -- we even have a list of where we got each thing after having many guests ask about them. We feel our attention to detail sets us apart. This particular cabin is in a wonderfully private location and is cozy and gorgeous inside and out!

Relax with your cup of coffee in the upstairs recliner by the fire or the downstairs chaise lounge by the fire. Open up a bottle of wine and relax on the deck as the sun sets over the Mississippi River. Toast the day's end while enjoying the benefits of the private hot tub. You can especially enjoy peace and quiet while enjoying songbirds and soaring bald eagles. Keep an eye out for whitetail deer and wild turkeys as this is their home too!

DOG OWNERS -- We are happy to allow you to bring your dog (maximum 2 dogs) as we understand they are part of the family. They may NOT BE LEFT UNATTENDED inside the cabin. You can leave them alone if they are in crates. Also, shedding dogs need to stay off the furniture. Please pick up after them and note that any damages caused but dogs will be charged back to the guest.

What makes this property unique

Tranquility and serenity await you when you visit the exceptional Driftless Region of SW Wisconsin. What does that mean? It's called Driftless due to the fact that the glaciers completely went around our area. You won't find a straight and flat road around here! Our guests typically enjoy hiking:

* Rush Creek State Natural Area, Ferryville
* Sugar Creek Conservancy, Ferryville
* Blackhawk Park, De Soto
* Wyalusing State Park, Prairie du Chien
* Hixon Forest/Myrick Park, La Crosse
* Pike's Peak State Park (Iowa)
* Effigy Mounds National Monument (Iowa)
* Fish Farm Mounds State Park (Iowa)

You can visit wineries throughout the area as well as multiple Amish vendors. Just hit the winding roads and discover what you might find. While your in Wisconsin, it's a short drive over to Iowa and not much further to Minnesota so you can have a lovely tri-state tour.

Bring your boat and do some fishing or take advantage of Clements Fishing Barge in Genoa. Bring your kayaks and explore the backwaters of the majestic Mississippi River.

Feel free to stroll through the large native prairie meadow as it's part of our property. Prior owners established this special area and we are maintaining it as best as we can. Todd keeps the paths mowed through for visitors to utilize. See how many wildflowers you can find. There are also a few bluebird houses on the property and a generous neighbor keeps an eye on them. We do love our nature out here in the Driftless Region.

Pop into the local bars and restaurants to enjoy some of the local flavor. Visitors are welcome and those of you from larger cities will enjoy the value. $20 gets you more here than in downtown Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, etc.
