Best Family Get Away
Wow, what an absolutely amazing place. The pictures do not do justice. Not because they are bad pictures.... just this place is so cool!!! We came for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary to spend some quality family time together and blue did not disappoint. So many places just to chill and the kitchen was great to make family dinners. Our young adult kids loved the game room. The electronic pinball machine was actually quite addicting. Everything was clean; the tv room is set up very nice for watching a movie and they have the best bean bag (love sac brand). We took day trips to La Cross and hit a winery. Tip for any people who work out. The anytime fitness down the road sells day passes and we used that. Great place, great host. So charming!!!

Wisconsin Dart Team Stay - WAMO
We really enjoyed the stay at Big Blue. Interior of the place was exactly per the pics. Sleeping 12+ people there may be tough with only two bathrooms. Bunk beds are on the small side (normal), but they worked for our needs. Kitchen was very nice, no issues whatsoever. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Seating in the general area upstairs was adequate. Couple recliners would be a nice add. We enjoyed the outside sitting area. Would be nice to have a deck out back. Access to HWY 90 was super simple. Our host Jaimie answered all of our questions. We loved our stay and will most certainly check this out again in the future.

Great get-away
Place looked like the pictures. We enjoyed our time together. Fantastic table to gather around. Major stores for thing you may need are only 10 minutes away. Quick replies from owner on all requests or questions. We had the same water pressure issues as others listed, but a quick rinse of the faucet filters cleaned it right up. And as others noted, there is no bathroom on the floor with the kitchen/gathering space. Overall it was a great find for our family.

Very cute place!
Clean, cute and comfortable! Wouldn’t recommend for elderly only because of all the steps, could have more knives in kitchen (only 3 and we had 8 adults) and water pressure in bathrooms were low but not that we had to have someone come out to fix. It was an easy drive from La Crosse, owners were quick to respond and friendly!

All the amenities and then some!
This property was perfect for our extended family getaway. The game room was a huge hit and everyone was able to play pin pong, great family bonding. There was plenty of room for food prep and dining and we spent time playing games and chatting at the big family table. The bedrooms were roomy and the beds were comfortable. We would highly recommend in the Winona/LaCrosse area, very convenient and quiet.

Very fun stay with friends!
We went here for a girls weekend (7 of us), and it was so much fun! Close enough to LaCrosse that we were able to go into town for brunch on Saturday (highly recommend Pato Azul). We had a lot of fun playing ping pong (shuffleboard no longer there as in pictures) and video games. Also enjoyed the massive couch and love sac for some tv watching. Great table for dining and board games. Love how open the kitchen was to the rest of the space. Everything was clean, beds were pretty good (though nothing can compare to your own bed), and communication with the owner was excellent. We would definitely consider it again in the future as an option to stay.
