About this property

The Lake House is a cozy and well-maintained home that provides everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation getaway. Nestled on the shores of Marinuka Lake, a picturesque 117-acre lake, the Lake House offers easy access to fishing opportunities. Cast a line from the dock or head to the public boat landing for a chance to catch Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Trout, and Walleye.

Step outside and you’ll be greeted by a spacious and inviting yard, perfect for relaxation, watching the sunset, or hosting outdoor games and creating lasting memories. Equipped with a picnic table, gas grill, and fire pit with chairs, this yard provides the ideal setting for a cozy gathering. We also provide a variety of outdoor games, fishing poles, and lures to enhance your fishing experience.

The surrounding area offers an array of exciting activities for all interests. Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman, an avid hiker, a mountain biker, a birdwatcher, a golfer, or a wine enthusiast, you’ll find something to captivate your passion. Within minutes, you can explore the nearby wineries, indulge in gourmet dining at the local restaurants, or browse the unique boutiques in town.

During the winter months, the lake transforms into a frozen wonderland, offering ice fishing opportunities. For those seeking snow sports, Mount La Crosse, just 30 miles away, provides skiing and snowboarding. Additionally, the area boasts snowmobile trails and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails at Perrot State Park.

Quiet retreat

What a fantastic property to stay at and unwind, we enjoyed our stay from the beautiful views from on top of the bluff to the water views on the dock it it was very calming. It was a perfect getaway to reset and recharge. The wildlife in the area was very entertaining to watch, lots of bunnies and birds. We will definitely recommend.

Charming Lake Home

We loved the house and property. Comfortable beds and furniture. Fishing off the dock was productive. Noise from the county fair was the only drawback, but not a big deal. 5 stars

Needed a place for a weekend trip. Nothing fancy for the three of us. A place to sleep, fix a few meals, some privacy, easy access, no fuss. It was perfect! Easy check in, easy check out. Would stay again!

Beautiful home. Perfect weekend getaway.

The house is great, very clean and comfortable. Loved being close to the lake. Had fun canoeing and catching sunfish from the dock. Home is close to town but feels very secluded. Also convenient to Trempeleau and some great restaurants. Really loved our stay!!

Enjoyable and relaxing house to home to during a week long business trip!

We enjoyed the Minnesota snow! We were able to walk out on the lake behind the house! Being from North Carolina that does not happen! We are able to cook a couple nights which made it very nice and relaxing! Thanks for opening up your home to us! We have to travel here again hopefully it'll be in the summer this time!

Great Location and comfortable bed

We stayed in November for 2 nights. The location was great because we wanted to be in town. The primary bedroom mattress appeared new and was very comfortable! The bathroom had great lighting and multiple lights, which was nice in an older home. Fixtures appeared new. Suggestions for the owner would be to supply Kleenex and a Keurig coffee maker. Also, the house smelled musty the first few hours we were there but mostly went away once we had the heat running a few hours (thermostat was set to 62; once it got to low 70's it subsided). Thank you!

Beautiful acreage in a charming small town

This home was a great retreat! The land feels private with a large yard, beautiful lake views, a perfect dock for fishing, and a great fire pit. We will have fun memories of our four year old learning how to fish here - he loved every minute of it! The sunsets were beautiful each night. What a great way to relax and get away! The home is quaint and cozy with everything you might need (including wifi and cable!). The town has a cute downtown square and close by there were quite a few apple orchards, a winery, and a wildlife refuge with biking and hiking. The owner is responsive and easy to work with. We had a great weekend!

You cannot swim in this lake

Galesville is a charming little town with a great breakfast spot, bakery, gift shop, salon and lots of local supper clubs. The cottage is very nice on a large lot with lots of privacy but we really wanted a lake-front property where we could swim. So we checked with the property owner in advance to make sure that we could jump into the lake for an early morning swim and she said "yes". Well, that's not entirely true, is it Jessica? The locals confirmed that nobody swims in this lake due to the poor water quality. The lake is shallow, weedy and stagnant. It might be good for fishing but we saw very few boats on the lake the entire time we were there. Needless to say we were disappointed. Mostly because we couldn't trust the property owner to give us the straight scoop. Buyer beware. Call the local business owners to confirm the condition of the lake if a swimming lake is what you're looking for.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Opat

Our family loves to vacation at the Lake House. We have a blast fishing, throwing rocks in the lake, playing football in the large yard and having campfires. It's a great spot to unwind! We enjoy walking to town to visit the boutiques and driving to La Crosse or Winona for the day.
I grew up in the area and love to come back to visit family and friends. My kids love visiting and never want to leave.

Why they chose this property

We love shopping in town at the wonderful boutique stores, grabbing coffee, hitting up the farmers markets and dining out. There are so many great restaurants in the area!

What makes this property unique

We love sitting on the dock and watching the sunset. The yard is huge and we love to look around at all the beautiful flowers, plants and just enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The bluffs and Mississippi River are so pretty and just a few miles away. We love this area!
