There are two boat launches within minutes of this rental. We are also located along an MRT biking highway. Eagles, pelicans, swans and other river wild life are frequently seen around this location throughout various points of the year.

Situated in a driftless region,this area is home to scenic bluffs and valleys with gorgeous views from both Minnesota and Wisconsin. We are 15 min from downtown La Crosse, WI, 15 miles from New Albin, and 27 miles from Lansing, IA. The area also boasts wonderful trout streams for fly fishing enthusiasts. White tail deer and Eastern wild turkeys make their home here and offer memory making hunting and/or scouting opportunities for interested individuals.

This apartment is along Mississippi Pool 8 area. There are many local and major league (Bass Master Elite, Bass Master Open and Major League Fishing) fishing tournaments in this pool during the summer months.

This apartment was completed as a vacation rental as of March 31, 2018 and has been full with people from Florida to Rhode Island,, from Washington to London, Beijing to London and even locals, living 10 minutes away, wanting a night away from home. It is a truly beautiful and peaceful rural location with quick access to a bigger city and all the options you expect to find there. You may see, and hear, barges and/or trains going up and down the river hauling their loads. (The train crossings are over a mile away, so their horns can be heard, but most guests indicate they are not too intrusive. )

Come enjoy a wonderful vacation with us in Brownsville Minnesota.

Great view

We really enjoyed our stay. Very roomy and cozy for an above garage apartment. Everything there that you need for a longer stay. Fire pit was a great amenity. We enjoyed a fire every night overlooking the Mississippi . Very very close to Lacrosse which is where we took a riverboat tour and spent a lot of time. Paula was very quick with responses and very friendly. She had cookies in the room for us. They were delicious!! We got to meet both Paula and Aaron when we arrived and they were so nice. We will definitely keep this in mind for a future stay. Thank you to our wonderful hosts.

River views getaway

This stay provided river views and a quaint yet spacious opportunity for my partner and I. With nature opportunities essentially right outside the door, there was also an opportunity to commute a short distance into town-a great blend. A couple of items for consideration are the entry staircase requiring individuals to carry up and in luggage, coolers, etc., and also the space being one large room with only the bathroom offering a private space. Certainly items manageable for more agile individuals and those who don’t mind sharing bedding space. Otherwise, the space itself works well for the value. For follow up for the property owner, I recommend attention to some of the details. Placing a more personal touch of information within the welcome binder (recommendations, pictures, etc) and cleanliness of dishware prior to new visitors.
