We had a great time in La Crosse. The house was great for our needs. My little one appreciated the basement where he had more room to run around. The layout was a bit more tight than I imagined but we were all comfortable.

From booking to checkout, this may have been the most seamless VRBO adventure we've ever had. Unit was very, very clean at check in.
