Perfect for a quick weekend.
My partner and I stayed here for a weekend while I was running a trail race. It was perfect for what we needed, beds seemed like memory foam and overall comfortable. Kitchen was functional in order to make some meals. There were a number of lady bugs/beetles inside but nothing that bothered us. It was easy to navigate to via GPS, Wi-Fi was fast and reliable and many channels to watch for those chill nights. We didn't spend much time there but there was a fire pit and plenty of seating outside for enjoyment by the river! If we are ever in the area, would definitely stay again.

Cute river cottage!
We enjoyed our stay. It was a cute place with everything we needed. We did not have time to explore the outside amenities, but the inside was fine. The only issue was the bathroom shower. The hot/cold were opposite the labels and it was hard to keep the water in the tiny shower. Otherwise, we used the kitchen and the oven, microwave and fridge were good. There was plenty of seating and it was a comfortable place. I would stay here again for sure! Thanks!

Peaceful retreat in the woods
I had a relaxing, pleasant stay at this cabin on Black River Falls. It was clean, comfortable and secluded, but not isolated, as there is a house next door and others down the lane. Wonderful hiking at Lake Wazee and Black River Forest.

Quick weekend.
We really enjoyed our stay. When walking we met several people on the street everyone was super nice. The river was perfect. We were able to sit on the dock and put our toes in. We kept waiting for the rough roads mentioned in a previous post. They do not exist. All roads were paved. No potholes. Very nice for small town Midwest.

Mini vacation
I love taking my kids for a little vacation each summer and this year we stumbled across this cabin. It did not disappoint! We had such a great time! It was the perfect space for me and my kids. It was peaceful and relaxing and close to the other things we wanted to explore! We will definitely be back!

Not as Expected!
First impression was to be of the picture on VRBO, it was not. No pretty lights, no decor, no seating by river, no hammocks. Neighbor complained of wood fire every day we were there. Inside needs a lot of cleaning... mice everywhere. Droppings in every cabinet and utensil drawers. Utensils were cleaned first night & day we used but was useless. Went & bought throw away plates & utensils, napkins etc. Also have a grill w/no grilling utensils so had to buy those. We had Kleenex boxes out (1 in living room, bedroom & bathroom and the mice destroyed everyone) Our dog was barking & very protective as he could hear them all over. I have contacted the owner during the stay & no return email until weeks after the stay. Overall, the river behind the house was relaxing.

Cozy and Relaxing
My husband and I stayed 2 nights and loved it. It’s a cozy cottage but doesn’t feel cramped. The house was very clean and had all the kitchen utensils you could need. We enjoyed burgers and brats on the grill and even were successful catching a few fish from the river. 15 minutes from a Walmart so it was easy to get groceries. Mosquitos are no joke outside, so don’t forget to pack your bug spray. Highly recommend this cottage!

Memorial Day canoe and fishing trip
Beautiful location right on the Black river with fairly easy canoe access (steep but short hill to maneuver the canoe up and down but steps right down to the water). The listing says one bedroom, but it is large and with two queen beds. Owner is really responsive and helpful as well!

So cute!
This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. It is quiet, peaceful, and has great views of the river. The home is small but the space is used efficiently and it had everything we needed. It's far enough out of town to feel "away from it all" but not far to get to the Dairy Way, we went twice! Great value, I'd definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay here. It was so nice to just be out in nature. The big windows gave us an amazing view of the river. So many birds chirping and bunnies! It was very relaxing. The wifi worked great for us! We would definitely come here again.

Cottage on the River
It was ok as hotels in Black River Falls not highly rated. Remote if that is a feature you want. Driving on rural rough roads. View of river was very nice. 2 Adjacent houses were close so this might be a consideration in warm months. Instructions for using gas fireplace & floor heat would be useful. It was cool & rainy during my stay. Layout of cottage good. Beds very comfortable. some matching glassware & more than one wine glass should be stocked. Kitchen utensils mostly odds & ends. Functional pans, tableware etc. owls at night were great!

We had a great stay! Enjoyed the wildlife, but would have preferred they stayed outside. We had a little visitor in the house who popped his tiny head out once in a while (mouse). Other than that, it was perfect.

The cottage was great with 2 exceptions. It was peaceful and being right off the river was beautiful. The shower was the smallest in the world and we're not large people. And the wifi is terrible. Do not expect to kick back on a cold night and watch a movie. The overall experience was pleasant.

Cozy
This was a very cozy little cottage with plenty of room for four adults. The bathroom is very small with a tiny shower space but we made it work and don’t have any complaints about it because the rest of the place is so nice. Wifi was very in and mostly out but this was not a big deal for my family. If you absolutely NEED wifi then not a great choice. There were plenty of dishes, towels, blankets, and overall it was super cute and cozy. We will go back again!
