Wilson Schoolhouse Inn----- Ideal For Family Gatherings Or 2-3 Couples

Return to Class in La Crosse, Wisconsin
The Wilson Schoolhouse is located in a rural setting on 12 acres of woods, fields, and gardens only 8 minutes from historic downtown La Crosse. Rental includes the entire schoolhouse and will comfortably accommodate 2 to 8 adults during their stay. The old schoolhouse desks are replaced by modern, comfortable furniture. Where students once studied, you can now relax in comfort surrounded by Wisconsin hills, just a mile from the beautiful upper Mississippi River.​ The Wilson school was built in 1917 and functioned as a one-room school until 1965. It was recently restored and elegantly furnished to retain the "open" atmosphere of the original schoolhouse. It still maintains much of its original character and charm with the original slate blackboard and school desks. The schoolhouse is listed on the City of La Crosse, the State of Wisconsin, and National Register of Historic Buildings.

There is no charge for 1 child under the age of 12; please exclude this child when you request to book, but let us know that they will accompany you and what arrangements for beds that you will need.

There may be additional charges for larger gatherings or parties; please contact us regarding this.

Perfect Family Gathering

The numerous amenities, open layout, comfortable living spaces and cleanliness made this trip so enjoyable for the whole family. Our hosts really went above and beyond to make the stay stress-free. The kitchen was very functional and made for great, family dinners without the need to go out. We recommend this location and would return again!

Beautiful place full of history and nestled in the forest. Quiet place with awesome ambiance, open concept floor plan and close to town, the river, hiking trails and downhill skiing. Dick and Lisbeth were wonderful and very accommodating, will definitely stay with them again.

Unique Stay in a Cute School House

This is a very cool place to stay. How often do you get to stay in a 100+ year old school house? Our kids loved it because it was so different. Everything is updated nicely. They kept some of the original effects and the school house has a lot of charm. We found the age and condition of the building endearing. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed to feel at home. It is all wood and tile floors so our only recommendation is to pack some slippers in colder months.

Great stay!

Listing was accurate, the schoolhouse was spotless, beds were comfortable, and the owners were fantastic to work with. We loved the history of the schoolhouse. Area was safe and quiet. The hosts made extra effort in assisting us with finding a lost package that was delivered and 'lost' - a neighbor picked it up to keep it safe and hand delivered to us to be sure we received it. The owners were out of town but were still available to assist us with the package and any questions we had. They definitely went above and beyond for us. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Great Place to stay. Location close enough to LaCross for all the events we were in town for. A little hard to find due to the trees in front of the building, especially in the dark.

Charming Historical Property

Owners have carefully preserved LaCrosse and American school house history by thoughtfully providing an opportunity to experience history up close. Our kids enjoyed the desks and chalkboard and imagining how school used to be in one room. I enjoyed the preserved history of the school house throughout the inn. Warm and inviting owners who were easy to communicate with. All amenities our family could want (kids ages 2-16). Very clean considering it’s a historic building. Comfortable accommodations and looking forward to staying again. So many hiking trails and beautiful views not far from the inn!

Excellent and relaxing property

We came to La Crosse for a car event and were looking for a relaxing private space. This home was ideal. Checking in and out could not have been easier, and the property was as clean as an operating room. The historical touches made it a cut above places we normally stay at. The owners have provided many historical references that really put this one room schoolhouse in perspective. It was truly one of the best stays we have had. Cannot reccomend it enough.

Best School Ever

The school house was immaculate. All of our needs were met and there were even a few extras - such as granola bars, juice, coffee and tea. The beds were comfortable and private. The rooms were spacious and there were 2 bathrooms which was very nice. TV was available as well as reading materials and brochures for the area. It was so nice that when they remodeled they kept the school house feel. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly but not at all interfering. If we are lucky enough to go back and stay there again, we will make it for a much longer stay.

Great Little Getaway!

We stayed at the Wilson Schoolhouse Inn during our stay in La Crosse for the State Dart tournament. Location was about 12 minutes from the La Crosse Center and was very convenient location. The schoolhouse itself was really cool and interesting. Well stocked with everything we needed and the owners were great about communication. I would stay here again without hesitation, really enjoyed it.
