About this property

Newly remodeled! Cozy, family (and pet) friendly cabin with breathtaking views!

Enjoy breathtaking views of the Mississippi River while you relax, get cozy, and recharge in this newly decorated modern-rustic cabin situated high on the bluffs above the Mississippi River. Whether it is a family vacation, a girls/guys weekend, or a couples getaway you will enjoy the "Riverview Retreat " inside and out. Take in the views with coffee on the deck in the mornings or sitting around a campfire on the large paved patio with a cold beverage of choice in the afternoon/evenings. There is never a shortage of things to see, whether it is boats and barges going by on the river or birds soaring past the windows!

Plenty of beds to accommodate a group or large family. (3 queens)

Inside we have an indoor kid's play space, featuring a teepee that the kids will love, and toys to accommodate families with younger children. We also have a pack and play crib for babies.

Our patio has a large fire pit, (wood provided) fire starter, and plenty of chairs.

A kitchen table, brand new quartz kitchen countertops, a brand new electric oven/stove, and an outdoor gas grill will give you all the space you need to stay in, cook, and enjoy meals together. Propane is provided for the grill with an extra tank in the event you run out.

A new couch with an open concept floor plan extends the kitchen space to the living room and also includes a smart TV. Watch your favorite team, sitcom, movie, or whatever you are in the mood for!

Our high-speed internet can accommodate zoom meetings, TVs, multiple phones, or whatever you may need to “plugin.”

We are not for from LaCrosse (WI), Lansing (IA), Viroqua (WI).

Bring your UTV and explore Vernon and Crawford counties, or your boat, kayaks, jet skis and explore the mighty Mississippi!

If trout fishing is your aim you should also check out some of the finest coldwater trout streams anywhere: Lansing Clear Creek at Clear Creek Park (1972 South Road on the west edge of town); Wexford Creek (1416 Great River Road) and the French Creek Wildlife Area to name a few. Check with the DNR to find which area streams are stocked on a regular basis.

There is a gas station just down the hill for misc odds and ends, there are local bars for food and drinks. Hit up the Great River Roadhouse for drinks and the best pizza around! If you need groceries or other dining just cruise across the river to Lansing, Iowa and you are certain to find everything you need and some you don’t.

If you have multiple families looking to stay close together we have another rental within walking distance. VRBO# 2045955

Great cabin with an amazing view

This was my second time staying at this cabin. Both times the cabin was clean upon arrival. Plenty of amenities, breathtaking views, and a nice quiet neighborhood. If sitting on the deck sipping coffee and watching eagles sore over the Mississippi and her broad backwaters, this place is for you.

Beautiful view of Mississippi River

The view is amazing, beds comfortable. But we had no connection to internet, which meant we could not use our computer or watch tv. Also found 2 dead mice and droppings inside the house. Otherwise it is a nice place to stay at.

Fall getaway

This cabin was perfect for a fall break getaway! The cabin itself is pretty perfect. Looks small from the outside, but has plenty of room inside. Great decorating job, comfy beds, and lots of kitchen gadgets. The wrap around deck is awesome too. But the views are the icing on the cake! Superb.

Spectacular view

As nearly everyone comments who has stayed here, the view is amazing! The house is very comfortable. With just the two of us, we did not need to use the lower level, but we found the beds in the loft were exceptionally comfortable. Beautiful neighborhood for walks with our dog.

GORGEOUS VEIW

WE MET MY SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW THERE JUST FOR A NICE GET AWAY. THE PLACE WAS BEAUTIFUL. DECORATED NICELY, AND HAD ALL THE SUPPLIES YOU NEED FOR A NICE STAY. WE BRING OUR OWN BEDDING AND TOWELS. BUT DON’T HAVE TO. THE OUTSIDE AREA WAS GORGEOUS. VERY PEACEFUL WITH LOTS OF GREENERY, TREES AND SINGING BIRDS. WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE A COYOTE AND A FAWN TOO. THE BACK DECK OVER LOOKS OUT OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER, AND THE VIEW IS GORGEOUS. THIS VRBO IS A MUST STAY. COMMUNICATIONS WITH OWNER WAS GREAT. AND I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT.

Anniversary Weekend

My wife and I were looking for a tucked out-of-the-way place. We could spend a few days alone and completely kid free. This was perfect and as advertised. Kitchen was well stocked. We brought all of our own food and spent a lot of time on the deck just looking at the view. The view…Amazing!

Relaxing Riverview

Riverview retreat was the perfect get away. Views were amazing. Cabin had everything you could need and more. Beds and common areas were super comfortable. Blankets in living room were perfect for cool mornings on the patio. We didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit as it was too windy but perfect setup and views!! Definitely recommend this property!

Relax and unwind!

My husband and I spent a few days here for our 35th wedding anniversary. This VRBO is clean, well-equipped, and very welcoming! The views are incredible and we enjoyed watching many Eagles flying past. The back decks and landscaping were amazing and very appreciated! We will definitely return for another visit and spend more time here. Thank you to the hosts for maintaining a beautiful place!

Great mid-winter get-away

This was the second time that some friends and I stayed at Joe and Ashley's cabin for a weekend in mid-winter. It was a great little retreat from city life for a couple of days. The cabin was exactly as described, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The view is obviously incredible, and the neighborhood is peaceful. There are great hiking opportunities within a short drive, which made for a perfect day trip, with a quiet evening around the firepit later. Joe was very communicative and even sent a heads up about a sudden change to access to a nearby bridge. Looking forward to a return visit in the future!

Perfect Fall getaway.

My significant other and I wanted to get away to see the Fall colors and have sometime together since the kids are now in school. The views did not disappoint. The cabin was cozy and well decorated. There is alot of space inside and privacy to be had. The only disappointments we had were having no coffee/creamer (the machine also requires bottled water), the lower level bed is not comfortable, is loud and killed our back (I actually went to the couch in the middle of the night), the outdoor furniture is not made to be sat on long term and the firewood was not cut nor close to where the fire pit is located. Thankfully we had an ax in the back of the truck to cut some up. Just added to the excitment but people should be made aware of this prior to coming. Otherwise, beautiful place and had a great time.
