River getaway

Home very clean and accommodating. Listing needs include very steep incline to get to front door. Parking is challenging. Also need light on the parking area and over the door so keypad is visible at night. View of the river was as advertised.

minnesota gem overlooking the river

This house was everything we needed and more. We loved the screened in porch overlooking the river - this is where we spent most of our time. There was plenty of space in the house for people to play card/board games. The beds were great - everyone slept well. The house has 3 floors and 5 bedrooms - everyone had plenty of space. We ate at a place minutes away (Eagle View Bar & Grill) and the food was delicious. If our trip was longer, we would have gone on walks around the neighborhood - it's a beautiful area. We will be back!

So promising and so disappointing!

The house space and views are great. The cleanliness, supplies, walkway and railing to the house very disappointing. There were ants everywhere. After buying ant traps they were gone in 12 hours but that should have been supplied. Towels supplied for just 2 people. We had to rummage in the closets for more and they appeared to be cleaning towels. Refrigerator was empty but dirty. Window sills and screened porch were dirty. Walk up to the house very steep and steps small and railing was not adequately secured. We also bought more wine glasses (not enough for the 5 of us) at Dollar Store. Very disappointing but such a promising house.

Girls family getaway

Scott was very attentive. The air conditioning went out over night the first night of our 2 night stay. He had someone out to fix it by dinner. It was a little awkward having strange men coming in and out during our stay and in the middle of dinner, but it got fixed which was appreciated. The reviews of the uncleanliness, sadly were very accurate. Also very outdated. But we enjoyed our family time and there was plenty of room. Also extremely steep gravel and grass driveway as others have mentioned. Difficult for our mom with a cane to maneuver, but we managed to get her in and out. Wish I had read the reviews prior to booking.

Overlooking Winona

This home provides lots of space and has a beautiful vantage overlooking the Mississippi. The only disappointment we found was that we could not use some of the outside amenities, the Weber grill had a mouse nest inside and the patio and screened porch were not useable due to the significant presence of hornets. There was also a large number of dead ladybugs everywhere in the home. Overall these were minor issues, the home presents comfortable space capable of hosting a large number of people.

Beautiful view

This place is great for a large group get together. The deck and screen porch are spacious, and the open concept living/kitchen/dining rooms are the perfect set up for everyone being together. Large windows allowed us to see many bald eagles soaring and nesting right next to the house. There were a fair number of Asian beetles throughout the house, but I suppose that just comes with springtime in a rural home. The large dining table allowed all 10 of us to play games together, and there were plenty of outdoor chairs provided.

Great stay!

We loved this stay for our inter generational stay! The stairs are no joke, but manageable for our 85-year-old who loved the main floor sweet… and taking her time getting into the property. It was all worth it for the amazing incredible views of the River and the warm home for our family stay. The space was great, bathrooms great, kitchen great! The balconies and screened in porch made it absolutely fabulous! Stay here!

Beautiful view and plenty of room for all of us.

We had three family's stay here and one family visit in the evenings. There was plenty of room for all of us and it was close enough to White Water state park were we did some hiking and fishing. Scott was very quick to respond to all my questions which I appreciated.

Great house. Great view.

My sister and I stayed here with our adult children's families to go to a nearby family wedding. Clean and nice furnishings. Only downside, the driveway is steep and then climb stairs to main floor. But the view was great of Mississippi River. Would consider again if back in the area

Great view of the river

Very nice property, especially for the price. Had most everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of room to sped out with 7 daughters. Pool table in the basement definitely got some use. The location was almost exactly between Wabash and Winona (18 min either way). Loved the view of the Mississippi River for the decks and 3 season porch. So things that would be nice improvements: Better grill Window blinds need to be replaced in multiple rooms. New toaster I know TVs aren’t always the most important thing but the one in the basement was practically useless. These aren’t really complaints because for the price point it was a great deal for that much space and great location. These just suggestions to make the next guests stay more pleasant.
