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!

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!

This was a great place to stay that was close to UWL and downtown. Loved having the room to move around in the house vs a hotel room. Also, loved the outdoor area.

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.
