We were the very first to rent this beach retreat and it DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Amenities were very thought out and "vibe" of the house is cool and beachy. VERY much the ambience of a "getaway"! It is spacious and comfortable, anything anyone could ever need on a vacation is utilized here. Highlights include the third story "rec" and game room with large sofa, card table, pool, darts and a projector screen! Also a jacuzzi in the master bedroom on the 2nd floor overlooking the beach. Candles are included and you can dim the lights and close the lights for a truly relaxing experience. We spent one day and night here for my birthday and wish we could've spent the entire week! What an awesome time and unforgettable memories were made. We cannot wait to return again but next time for a longer trip! If you're thinking of taking the family on a summer getaway, this is the place!

10/5 stars! Spent last weekend here and it was incredible! The view of the river with a cup of coffee in the morning was just perfect. The kitchen was fully loaded with everything we needed to host guest, there was plenty of room for everyone and more! The shower was incredible with a side heads, an overhead spray and a regular shower head, with incredible water pressure. The beds were so comfortable and the top floor had everything we needed for a great game night of pool, darts, poker and more. Will absolutely be staying here again!!

Stayed here last weekend and it was amazing! So much to do, whether it be the beach within walking distance, game room on the upper level or the back yard with the view! The shower on the second level is wondrous and the water was hot on demand! Definitely would recommend visiting and will be going again!

We stayed here the first weekend in August. its an absolutely beautiful house! with plenty of room to entertain people, with lots of indoor or outdoor activities to be taken advantage of. By far the one of the best things about this place is the shower on the second!!! Just wow!!! Had a great time! we will be returning!

This place is beautiful with so many things to do inside and out. From a fire pit and deck in the back yard to a pool table, poker table, and large projector on the 3rd level. Although we spent most of our time in the back yard my favorite thing of all was the magnificent shower on the second floor. I can not wait to visit again soon!

7 of us just stayed at Wandering Warriors for my sister’s Bachelorette Party and it was absolutely perfect!!!! The house is beautiful and impeccably cared for. Everything about the process was easy and you can tell they want their guests to feel welcome and taken care of. We had trouble starting a fire, due to the wet weather we’ve had…after coming back from a day on the river, not only had they brought us kindling but also had the fire going for us!! VERY highly recommend for any occasion or just a weekend away!!!

Amazing beach home!!  Joyce is an incredible host with very fast responses. She made us feel very welcome, but that wasn’t even the best part! The home is absolutely gorgeous and breath taking. Located right next to the beach was an incredible plus. The amenities are the best and this was a top notch place to have stayed, there was a total of 7 of us and the house was so big with plenty of space for all. She even had a binder with info on local places like restaurants and activities to choose from, thank you Joyce you are the most incredible host I have ever had by far! Would definitely stay here again!

We had a relaxing, fun filled weekend with family. The property was very clean and well stocked with needed items. We especially enjoyed the backyard, firepit and third floor game room. We had plenty of room for 8 adults to gather around to eat and play games with seating for 8 at the dining room table and game room table.

 Jennifer M. - Sept 2022

Perfect fit for our family.  Well stocked with everything you could need. Great views. Our kids had so much fun with the 3rd floor!

 Tricia S. - Oct 2022

This place is AMAZING!!  The whole family had a wonderful time at this property. It was exactly as described and pictured online and everyone enjoyed what the house had to offer. We had a great time in the game room and cooking in the gourmet kitchen. We will definitely be back!

Perfect on every level!  Just had a fun and relaxing weekend with friends at this beautiful home. Would recommend to anyone looking for a spacious, fun rental with amenities galore. Our favorite space was the third floor entertainment room with so much room and a phenomenal, comfortable sectional where no one felt crowded. The owners have thought of everything, not one thing was missing: blankets, toiletries, pots, pans, etc. - all were available and appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful weekend, the Fall colors were the perfect finishing touch to an amazing space. Tip: we drove into Bagely for a few provisions and the owner at The Bagley Store was so helpful. Such a cute little place!

August - Jan 2023

We chose this property for a 3 night stay over the NYE weekend. 8 of us all together for a fun, chill, time. Plenty of room. The 3rd floor had plenty of games and things to keep us busy. The closest town was about 15 minutes away and had any supplies we were looking for. Joyce and David were easy to speak with and actually helped out quickly on one item we couldn't figure out. I would certainly stay here again!

Rill - Jan 2023

The home was beautiful and had everything we needed and more! No expense was spared in making our stay enjoyable. Lots to do, plenty of room, cozy, clean. We had a very memorable time! We will definitely stay again and tell others all about it!

Andrew - Feb 2023

An amazing property. Beautiful scenery, and n excellent place to spend quality time with family. The owners were amazing. So many little details that they thought of. Everything we forgot to pack, they had. We will definitely be back

Heather - Mar 2023

This house was everything we hoped for and more! The house has everything you could possibly need, and we were able to enjoy some amazing quality time with our 5 kids. There was something for everyone and we never ran out of things to do in the house! We loved our stay and hope to come back someday!

Noel - Mar 2023

This place had it all.  Nothing I needed to get.  I loved the huge space we had throughout the whole house.

Emily - Apr 2023

This house was amazing! So many details and all the things you could think of to do! Joyce responded rapidly to any text and was helpful! Everyone was blown away with the space and all the activities to do on the third floor! I will definitely come stay again! The flooding didn't stop my friends and I from having the best weekend!

Melissa - Apr 2023

Great place to relax and hang out with family. Plenty of space; entertainment room is amazing, and all was very clean. Owners really thought of everything! Great communication, too!

Connie - May 2023

We had plenty of space in the kitchen/dining area and the upstairs game room with large sectional was awesome! The host and manager were very responsive and nice. All we had to pack was our food because the kitchen was well stocked. Also enjoyed the fire pit with the s'more gift basket they included. We had a wonderful time!!!!

Beth - Jun 2023

Our family of 6 adults and 2 children stayed and the home was amazing and very clean!!! The game room and 2nd floor shower were awesome!!They had everything you could possibly need. The beach was within walking distance. The only downfall was the nearby train and its horn. But the area is beautiful and we couldn't have asked for anything more with the house. Absolutely beautiful home!!!

Lee - July 2023

A group of out of town friends rented this awesome place for two nights. We were all in town for a mutual friends wedding and thought it would be cool to all stay in the same house. This place did not disappoint. The house is huge, plenty of space, bedrooms, bathrooms and the backyard is amazing. There is also a public beach area on the river within walking distance. The upstairs rec area was a huge hit and where we spent the majority of our time. We have all said that we would like to come back and rent this property again!

Darlene - Aug 2023

We had our annual sibling week and loved the house. There were eight of us and our favorite spot was sitting around the large kitchen table every morning for coffee and later for games and meals. The beautiful kitchen and large island was great for cooking and happy hours!! The beds were very comfortable and the third floor was our favorite spot every night for movies and popcorn! The very large sectional sat at all of us with room to spare. The house did not lack for anything. Loved our stay.!!

Our Son was getting married this past weekend at nearby Wyalusing State Park. Wandering Warriors Retreat served as home base for our family visiting from California and Tennessee. This is a great place! The pictures are spot on, everything from the top quality kitchen with the HUGE breakfast/dining table to the top floor entertainment lounge area featuring a home theater, pool table, bar, and poker room with an awesome view of the river! The 'James Bond' style power shades were a great touch, (and yes we did watch Diamonds are Forever, ;) Thank you for a great and memorable stay!! The wedding went off perfectly, Wandering Warrior played a nice role in that... :)

This property was amazing and without a doubt the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. Our host provided an easy way to access the property without having to make any special arrangements to get into the house. We didn't need a single thing for our stay, as this was equipped with about anything we could ever need. Everything from kitchen utensils to furniture was in great working order. The property manager, David, was a great help and was great at recommending things to do in the area. Appreciated the helpful hints throughout the house, and some of the humor scattered throughout! I would rate this VRBO with 10 stars if possible. Beautiful property, and beautiful people running this!

Michaelyn - Dec 2023

Our family stayed at Wandering Warriors for a long weekend. So perfect! The house was beautifully decorated for Xmas. Everything we needed and then some! The 3rd floor game/theater was our favorite hangout. Pool, darts, card games, football, basketball on the big screen during the day. Movie, and popcorn at night. Our host was amazing, also. So many memories made. Thank you for the perfect stay.

Katie - Dec 2023

We had a group of 8 adults for a long weekend. The house is amazing, with every amenity you could think of. The third floor is a party room with pool table, dart board, theater screen, and numerous games. We had a blast. Check in/out was simple! We can’t wait to return in the summer months!

Andrew - Feb 2024

Our favorite place!  This is the 2nd time we have stayed for a weekend, and the house is absolutely perfect for a family getaway!

Christy - May 2024
Stunning Home     Lots of pleasant surprises!
Coral - Jun 2024
The house was wonderful! We had three little kids with us and the third floor was perfect for the adults to play cards while the kids went to bed early. The house was very clean and spacious. We absolutely loved our stay!
Kelly - Jun 2024
The owner of the property was easy to work with and the property was a described. The game room on the 3rd floor came in handy as it rained and stormed while we were there. The was a book with places to eat and things to do for those not from the area. We were very appreciative as the owner called to warn us about severe weather heading our way and to be on the look out for tornadoes. We would stay there again
Crystal - Aug 2024
Beautiful area and views, beach within walking distance, and the property impressed us all. The property is roomy and plenty of games, movies, and entertainment to keep us all busy. The owner is quick to respond to any questions. Our trip was relaxing and memorable!
Jeanine - Aug 2024
We had a wonderful stay! Would definitely stay again if planning to stay in the area. Beautiful home, plenty to do and owner was easy to work with.
Carrie - Aug 2024
This home was very clean! The owner was great to work with! We very much enjoyed all of the games, puzzles and relaxing time spent together.
Megan - Sept 2024
We had a small group stay here for a few days. The house was very comfortable and has everything you would need to keep you entertained during your stay. We had a campfire each night, played pool, watch movies on the projector and relaxed in the hot tub. It is also spacious enough to have your own space if needed! The location was great! Although there are houses around us, it still felt very private. A short walk to the beach, a quick drive to the state park where we hiked one afternoon, and not too far from Prairie Du Chien where we got groceries and ate at Eddie's Irish Pub! I would definitely recommend this stay!
Jim - Sept 2024
Three couples in their early 50s had a great weekend at the house. Enjoyed a fun Friday night playing games in the amazing third floor. After a morning hike overlooking the rivers and PDC, we came back and watched the Badgers upstairs. Awesome viewing experience on the world's largest pit couch (that claim cannot be verified, lol)! The trains are a definite nuisance for light sleepers and be careful on the steps but as our rating suggests, we were very, very happy with everything. Great location. Great hosts. And a great house!

My family of 8 (6 adults and 2 teenagers) met and stayed at Joyce's property for a weekend to celebrate my granddaughter's 13th birthday. It is a beautiful home with plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen is the best stocked one I have ever seen. I can't imagine there is anything missing. Beds were comfortable. The best part was the game room on the top floor. That is an amazing space. I wish we had had another day or two to stay as we did not get a chance to use the fireplace or outside games. Communication with Joyce was great. She let us know that there was an event that might impact our time in Prairie du Chien over the weekend so we could decide if we wanted to alter plans a bit to avoid the extra traffic. That was greatly appreciated. We would definitely return to Joyce's home if ever in the area again. Thanks for a great place!
Deb - Oct 2024
Beautiful and fun house. Grandkids had a great time in the game room. Well suppied kitchen. No bunk beds as expected but it all worked out. Only downfall were the frequent trains at night.
