Alma House | Upscale and modern. A hidden paradise on the backwaters of the Mississippi River

1 Bedroom House in Alma

Open year-round! Nestled between the small riverside towns of Alma and Nelson, Wisconsin, The Great River Retreat Guest House sits on the backwaters of the Mississippi. What once was a day cabin with no running water or electricity to speak of, was completely remodeled in 2013. Every detail was considered, from the hand-scraped wood floors, the Amish rough sawn pine ceiling, the natural stone marble counter tops, the real stone slate surrounding the free-standing wood stove (there to keep you cozy on a cool night), to the screened-in deck with stunning views of the calm Mississippi backwaters and the trains passing by. You’ll feel like you just escaped into paradise.
The cabin sleeps six people comfortably in it’s one bedroom and large loft area. Enjoy incredible views as the sun rises and sets and watch as the fisherman and water skiers go back and forth during the day. You’ll also have access to the water and use of our dock so that you can fish, swim, or just relax. Experience what it’s like to stay at a truly unique place.

Summary: This property is a little gem. Absolutely loved the view of the Mississippi backwaters and enjoyed the trains too. Mornings with a cuppa coffee, listening to the birds, watching the breeze ripple the water's surface and counting the train cars (had to at least once 😉). We'll def be back!

Summary: Our group came up for a fishing trip, of course the first thing you notice is the great views. The property was clean, and we had great communication with the hosts. It is short driving distance from all the good local restaurants. We use these types of services often and we have come across very few that feel this comfortable like your staying at a friend’s place. We look forward to coming back!!

Summary: We had sn amazing weekend between the great view of the river and the Eagle Center and shops in wabasha. Though it is set up for being able to make anything at the house, we hit some of the local restaurants. The sandwiches at Nelson Cheese Shop were the highlight. There were about 30 bald eagles in Alma when we were there. There is also a Kwik Trip there which came in very handy.
