Great little place!

This house is a great little place to stay while in Lacrosse, 5 or 10 minutes to some great boat ramps accessing Black River and Dresbach Dam. Lots of food options and fuel is close. Enough room to back a boat into the driveway for safe overnight parking also!Thank you, Jaime and Spencer for offering this space for everyone to enjoy!

Dog Heaven

I wanted to find a place to stay that was eclectic and engaging PLUS allows dogs. I found the perfect place and will be back again. I simply adored the ambiance of the house and the love of dogs the owners have and are willing to share. I will be back with more woofers soon!

Christmas Travels

This little cottage was the perfect place to stay while visiting Lacrosse. It's an easy drive to downtown, Campus, or Onalaska. Everything was clean and updated. The decor gave it character. We especially loved the fenced in yard for our dogs. The neighborhood was well kept and felt very safe. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Jaime Arnold

My husband and I got married in June 2023, 2 days before my mom passed away. Being an only child, and having my dad passing away 13 years earlier, I was left my childhood home. I didn't have the heart to part with it, so we put a lot of work in the home to turn it into a VRBO.

We have 2 kids (4 & 8) and 4 dogs. We live right across the river in Minnesota and enjoy traveling, geocaching and seeing oddities. Spencer enjoys fishing, especially ice fishing.

Why they chose this property

It's my childhood home. :) The yard is a work in progress but we will be refurbishing the gazebo in the back, building a butterfly garden and placing a geocache in the back.

What makes this property unique

Each room is specially curated to my moms, dads and my family interests. The master bedroom is a rock and roll theme; my mom and I went to a lot of concerts! The spare bedroom is a railroad theme; my dad worked for Candian Pacific Railway. I have spent a lot of time on the details and my heart has been poured into this project.
