About this apartment rental
This grand 2800 sq. ft. apartment was home to the original Gundersen clinic (now Emplify Health), now a nationally recognized healthcare system in the La Crosse community. The building was constructed in 1870 and is on the list of national historic buildings in downtown La Crosse.
Located just steps from the La Crosse Convention Center, shops, and restaurants.
Some highlights include:
- A spacious and fully equipped kitchen including everything you need for a casual evening or a formal sit down dinner.
- Three large bedrooms including a King room with a new ensuite bath, a River room with one queen bed, and the Gundersen room with two queen beds. (The Gundersen room shares a wall with a bar so this room receives loud noise at night.)
- A moody Parlour that’s perfect for celebrating or relaxing contains a 60" smart TV, a chess and checkers pub table, and a vintage bar with barware.
- A wedding room that’s perfect for getting ready for the big event in your life. It’s versatile arrangement allows it to be used as a private office, a place for your morning coffee, or a meditation room.
- A large living room with an original brick fireplace with gas insert.
- Central air conditioning
- Licensed by the city of La Crosse
The apartment is located on the 2nd floor. Guests should be comfortable climbing a flight of stairs to access the apartment.
The apartment is located in the heart of downtown nightlife near many bars and restaurants. On busy nights, the bars are loud and you will hear noise until bar time. If you're looking for a quiet stay, this (unfortunately) is not the best place to stay.
Parking is within one block at the La Crosse Center Ramp at 201 Jay Street. Parking is paid from 6am-10pm Monday - Saturday. The cost is $1/hour with a daily maximum of $10. Nights and Sundays are free.

This was a great experience and would do it again

This was our second time staying at The Original -- and it truly is original. I love the history, the decor and the special attention to detail. And you can't beat the location in downtown La Crosse!Our family made nightly visits to the Pearl for delectable treats, strolled Riverside Park, found treasures at the Antique Center, and enjoyed meals at several yummy downtown eateries -- all without ever entering our car. The taco pizza at Big Al's is second to none! And I highly recommend the Breakfast Club to start your day. The Florentine Benedict is so good.

This place was absolutely amazing! Beautiful, historic, right downtown and so close to everything. Very unique! It did get loud at night being downtown, but the host provides earplugs and sound machines. We would definitely come back!
