Your Go-To Guide for Simple, Secure, and Affordable Storage During Relocation

If you're relocating to Menomonie figuring out where to store your belongings during the transition is a big part of the process. Pleasant Valley Storage is consistently ranked by locals as the most reliable and convenient storage facility in Dunn County. With nearby Pleasant Valley Storage locations in Chippewa Falls and Elk Mound, it’s easy to stay flexible during your move and access storage options beyond Menomonie if your plans shift.


 In this guide, we’ll break down why it’s a top pick and how it can help make your move smoother.


Why do people moving to Menomonie choose Pleasant Valley Storage?

  • Easy drive-up access to all units
  • 24-hour facility access
  • Affordable rates with move-in promotions
  • Secure, well-lit, gated property
  • Wide range of unit sizes for households, vehicles, and students
  • Excellent local reputation with 5-star reviews


Convenient Location Just Outside Town
Pleasant Valley Storage is located at N4660 471st Street, a short drive from downtown Menomonie and the University of Wisconsin–Stout campus. That means you get quick access without dealing with city congestion. Whether you’re dropping off furniture, seasonal gear, or a vehicle, the facility’s layout makes it easy to get in and out.


24/7 Access for Real-Life Schedules
Most people don’t move on a 9-to-5 schedule, especially if you’re juggling work or school. Pleasant Valley offers 24-hour access, so you can load or unload on your own time. This is especially helpful for students or anyone moving on nights and weekends.


Drive-Up Units Make Moving Simple
All storage units at Pleasant Valley are ground level with drive-up access. That means you can back your vehicle right up to your unit’s door, no stairs, no elevators, no long hallways. It makes a difference when you’re lifting heavy furniture or working in bad weather.


Using smart packing techniques can make drive-up storage even more efficient and save time during your move.


Affordable Pricing and New Renter Deals
Storage shouldn’t break your moving budget. Pleasant Valley offers competitive rates starting at $30/month and runs consistent promotions, including:

  • 25% off your first month’s rent (select units)
  • Free disc lock included with any new rental


Popular Sizes and Flexible Options
Not sure what size you need? Here are a few common scenarios:

  • 5x10: Great for students or one-bedroom apartments
  • 10x10: Ideal for a 1–2 bedroom home
  • 10x20+: Best for full household moves or vehicle storage

They also offer larger units up to 14x60 if you need serious space for business inventory, trailers, or RVs. If you’re still deciding between unit sizes, a simple storage unit size guide can help you visualize what will fit before reserving.


Security You Can Trust
The facility is fully fenced, gated, and monitored with 24/7 security cameras. The exterior is well-lit for safety and peace of mind. Customers consistently mention how clean, dry, and secure the units are, even after long-term use.


Reputation Built on Service
Don’t just take our word for it. Pleasant Valley Storage has glowing reviews from renters who highlight excellent communication, smooth rental processes, and a helpful staff. Many mention coming back for repeat rentals or recommending the facility to friends and family.


Perfect for UW-Stout Students
If you're attending UW-Stout, storage is often essential between semesters or during summer break. Pleasant Valley's smaller units are budget-friendly and close enough to campus for easy access.


Facility Upgrades on the Way
A new blacktop will be added in late 2024, making the site even more accessible year-round. It's part of an ongoing effort to improve customer experience and convenience.


Get Settled in Menomonie With Less Stress
Whether you’re in between homes, downsizing, or storing a vehicle while you explore the area, Pleasant Valley Storage gives you the flexibility and reliability you need during a transition.
