3 Bedroom House in Alma

The Great River Retreat (main house to the currently rented guest House VRBO Listing #480979) nestled between the small riverside towns of Alma and Nelson, Wisconsin, this home sits on the backwaters of the Mississippi. It is fully furnished and every detail of the house has been redone in the past few years. Whether you enjoy your evenings sitting by the fireplace, watching a movie on the big screen, socializing by the bar, listening to the trains roll through on the beautifully screened porch (overlooking the river), or spend it by the campfire - you will find a way to cozy in! You'll notice our modern decor with an inviting outdoor touch throughout the home keeping it very comfortable along with the beautiful landscaping you'll enjoy as you make your way around the property. Spring of 2016, we took the 3 car garage and workout room and turned it into a HUGE rec room for a great place for our groups to gather and entertain without ever having to leave the property! Included in the rec room is a custom made bar, dart board, pool table and a social nook with 3 comfy couches to hang out and enjoy. The room above the rec room is a bonus room with additional sleeping (3 fulls and 3 twin beds) to accommodate larger groups.
If you're looking for an escape for larger groups check out our adjacent property (which is set up to sleep 6 comfortably) for availability and book them both!!

Summary: The train traffic was understated. The trains rolled through almost every hour, night and day the entire time we were there; Friday and Saturday and Sunday. On Friday night, one train parked on the tracks immediately behind the property, blocking our access to the river and the dock for the entire weekend. if you do not care about getting down to the river, this is a great property. it was clean and very large to accommodate our family gathering. The screened porch was very nice. The rec room area was awesome for our teenagers and adults and we enjoyed the pool table and the darts. We also really enjoyed use of the kayaks that were provided!

Summary: The house was as described and had plenty of room for our group to spread out and visit during a family reunion. The screened in porch was great at night for meals and board games together after a day of boating on the water. All in all our family enjoyed the space & it was perfect for our group’s needs.

Summary: The property was accurately described online. The driveways were a little tricky at night (and probably would be in the winter!) but we planned for that. We had everything we needed for our stay. We didn’t l anticipate a parked train behind the house for the whole weekend and had to climb between rail cars to get to the river, but the property owners can’t control that. The house has plenty of gathering space. We really enjoyed the screened porch, but with the rec room and basement - this property could easily accommodate families or groups with several ages to have their own areas to hang out separately. The “downtown” area of Alma was just a few miles away, and there were multiple bars and restaurants to choose from, along with at least one nearby winery. Overall, I would recommend this property to someone if they were ok being fairly remote and not bothered by having to drive to get to restaurants, bars, etc. The scenery is beautiful!

Summary: My favorite room was the 3 season porch. Loved relaxing in there listening to birds, leaves rustling, and boats going by in channel. My teenage son and his friends kept busy in the rec room when not out on the river. And when rain/storm came through they chilled watching movies in the downstairs area. Kitchen was full of everything needed to cook. Plenty of room for everyone.

Summary: Property was in good condition and everything went very smoothly. There was no issues with anything and everyone had a good time. Main game area was a big hit.

Summary: This was a pretty nice home to stay at, but is very divided. The hallway that divides the house from the rec room is COLD! So anybody that stays on that side has to walk through the dark cold hallway. There is only a kitchen table to use on the main part of the home so it was a little small. No bathroom or running water in the rec room so it was tough to have food on that side. Getting in the driveway is tricky and there isn't very much parking space. Also be careful when renting the property if you are looking for privacy because the guest house on the property is a separate rental unit. The basement on the main part of the home is super COLD and had some damage in the one area! Overall it went ok and the home owner was very easy to get a hold of. Beds are comfortable, kitchen has pretty much everything you need, but the towels throughout are not the greatest.

Summary: It was a nice stay with a beautiful view. Very spacious, lots of places to sleep. The house was clean and ready for to enjoy our stay upon arrival. Enjoyed the rec room except the dart board didn’t work and darts were slim pickens. We had no problems with the pool table. Outside of rental could us a little cleaning by deck area, but very minor. Lastly make sure you read the email before you arrive about turning into the driveway.
