Weekend in Hokah
At first I was skeptical of the building, but when I went upstairs and saw the inside of the apartment I was relieved to know that the listing was very honest to what it was actually like. Everything was very nice and I enjoyed my stay. There were just a few bugs I had to kill but it wasn’t a bad g deal to me.

We really enjoyed the stay at the house. No problems at all with the apartment, It’s very charming and themed decorated without being too much. We didn’t use the kitchen, but It looked like it was well equipped with everything needed for cooking.

Perfect weekend getaway
This is the best stocked place we've ever stayed in. I wanted to cook for my UWL student who was sick of dining hall food and it had everything I needed! That made the stay so much more enjoyable. Plenty of room for a comfortable stay. Erin was very responsive and a great host. We checked out the coffee shop across the street and the food was delicious. Como falls was a short walk and a nice quite place to sit. We'll definitely be back!

Relaxing
My wife, friends and I were looking for a relaxing environment to unwind. This location was exactly that and more! We went to Como Falls which was a 1 minute drive away and it was a very serene and calm environment. The apartment is well kept and clean. Both bedrooms were comfortable. There was a lot of space. A nice kitchen, dining and living room. The bathroom was very clean. Thank you so much!

Charming two bedroom apartment on the second floor of a historical building. A very cozy space to cook, share meals, play games, read, and watch movies. Large bathroom with a great shower. Hokah is a no frills small town just fifteen minutes from LaCrosse.

Perfect spot and incredibly clean
Our primary objectives for VRBO: Clean, honest about place, easy to communicate with host, good beds, basic needs provided for. We got this and more. Soft bedding, extra blankets, fans due to street noise to drown it out, location on hwy 16 perfect. Didn’t use the kitchen, but it had anything needed.

Cute, clean apartment
My husband and I stayed here while attending our son's track meet. Cute little town not too far from La Crosse which was nice. As stated by owners, the street is a little noisy but I brought ear plugs and they had a sound machine which was a nice touch. This apartment was super clean and very cute. Everything you needed, and more, was provided. Definitely recommend!!

We loved all the woodwork and bright and Airy feel to the place. Loved all the fine touches and detail. Beds were very comfortable. Loved being near the Mississippi River and the Beautiful Bluffs. We were attending a family funeral in La Crosse and this was perfect and enjoyable ride to drive across the river every day. Very Scenic area.

Exactly what we needed!
We booked for daughter's graduation at UWL. My mom loved the Hokah library. Enough room for 5 comfortably And was still able to get back and forth to LaCrosse no problem. Appreciated how owner checked in throughout visit. Well stocked with all kitchen spices and cookware if people would like to make an extended stay. Quaint town. Will stay again if chance arises.
