Property details
Welcome to beautiful French Island, with its serene lake and river views and our adorable home-away-from-home! This cozy two bedroom, one bath bungalow is exactly what you need to rest, rejuvenate, and explore La Crosse and the many waterways in the beautiful unglaciated “Driftless Region”! Enjoy your morning coffee while gazing at Lake Onalaska, or soak your troubles away in our private backyard hot tub. This home is the perfect place for a couple or small family to spend a weekend or longer. With our hot tub, and this easy access to the waterways - you’ll never want to leave.
You’re welcome to bring your own boat or personal watercraft to launch at one of many nearby boat ramps (and beaches!), with two only one block down the road. Pack your swimsuits and enjoy the 4-person hot tub in the back yard to unwind after a long day of activity.
**Special Offer** Book with us and inquire about FREE canoe/kayak usage to explore the rivers and lakes on your own! Booking in the winter? We’d love to offer usage of snow shoes, cross country ski access, or an ice fishing auger instead! What an amazing opportunity provided for our guests!

Dine at the dinner table with place settings for six or more people. There’s plenty of space in the living room to spread out in front of the large Smart TV, and then crash in one of two bedrooms at the end of the night – each featuring a high-quality foam queen sized mattress. A pack and play travel crib is also available for your little one; a sleeper sofa/air mattress is also available for additional guests. The home has one bathroom, with a full size tub and adjustable showerhead. Make use of many board games and puzzles are available inside the home, as well as ample backyard space along with a gas grill and patio dining set in the backyard.

This place was quietly situated right next to the Mississippi River. Beautiful backyard with fire chimney , fire pit and shaded area above the table for alfresco dining. Though near an airport we didn't hear a sound. The short walk to the river was pleasant and views were serene. Charming houses with Halloween decorations throughout the neighborhood. The kitchen allowed great family dinners and beds were extremely comfortable which was a great bonus. Grocery and downtown LaCrosse were a short drive. If you haven't been to a Woodman's, do yourself a favor and go. We explored The nearby Ferguson's Apple Orchard, LaCrosse Children's Museum, Kinestone and Winona. Loved the games and children's books, crayons and coloring books which made it kid friendly. Enough space for small family with an air mattress if more space needed. The water consumption information was a surprise, PFAs in the water but plenty of bottled water available for cooking and drinking.

Logan's place was perfect for our little girls' weekend! The hot tub was in great condition, the fire pit made for a fun evening, & we enjoyed the outdoor table as well. Logan also offered a rebate for kayak rentals through the outfitter he recommended. It basically can cover 2 people for 2 hours, but since we brought our own kayaks too, we rented only one for 4 hours for just $42. The outfitter is only about a 7-minute drive away! I also really appreciated the large refrigerator. We brought lots of snacks & food and had plenty of room without having to play Tetris. We each wanted our own bed, so we used the air mattress, which fit comfortably in the spacious living room. We found the futon a bit uncomfortable because of the support bar, so if you plan to use it, I'd recommend bringing a mattress topper. But both fit easily in the living room! We'd absolutely book with Logan again if we're back in the area! Definitely recommend!
