This is a nice country property with lots of room. The pool and hot tub were excellent amenities for the young people I was traveling with. This is a rental where people are able to leave items in the fridge - ketchup, syrup, etc. which I appreciate. Be advised - cookie sheets and storage products (plastic dishes, saran wrap) are in short supply, so be sure to add those to your packing list. The home is down a significant number of gravel roads, and due to a bridge out near the property, there is only one road in. We had a great stay and would stay again.
We stayed for a family reunion of 8 adults. Having enough bedrooms and bath were perfect for the group. There was a little confusion getting the a/c units working but Gabby was great in helping get the task done. And to be honest there were some issues regarding cleanlinessâŠâŠnot devastating at allâŠjust little things which I communicated to Gabby privately. The location was beautiful. Wonderful countrysideâŠâŠtwo decks to enjoy the amazing number of different birds. One drawback was not having screens on the patio doors to be able to open them and enjoy the beautiful weather. The living area was open with high ceilings and let us sit together, or use the smaller area off the living room for different activities. We gathered around the large table every day for meals, games and camaraderie. The location is about a 12 minute drive to town. Overall we had a nice time. The house has a unique floor plan which adds to its charm. Glad we had the opportunity to experience it.
The property is very beautiful and would highly recommend for a summer stay. We saw deer and a pair of bald eagles! We were there for a work retreat so no cell service was not a concern as we did have Wi-Fi. The rustic cabin served our purpose.
The scenery and proximity to the creek was excellent. Beautiful location. Cabin had some wear and tear, as expected. Hot tub was clean and functional, kitchen was well stocked, the whole place was comfortable and inviting.
This property had a very homestyle feel, as if you were going to Grandmaâs for a stay! It had a relaxing & inviting feel đ
The property was just beautiful & we loved the view from the deck & walking down to the creek just down the lane.
The owner had very quick responses & I did like that there wasnât an exhausting list of to-doâs before leaving the home, in fact, there was only 1- take the trash down to the central can!
Would definitely stay here again & for sure would recommend!
My family has opted for family adventures over individua Christmas gifts.
This was the perfect size lodge for our family, with plenty of bedrooms, a large living area, and a nice kitchen and large dining table. And my grandkids loved the upstairs loft area! Having the hot tub and pool was a big plus. We made sâmores over the fire pit and saw many deer walk thru the yard.
Only downfall was the online pictures of the pond were deceiving. My grandkids were extremely disappointed they could not fish in the pond.
Overall, it was a great weekend and if youâre looking for a quiet getaway, I would highly recommend this venue.
We used it for 5 nights, had a great time. Plenty of room for our group of 14 to hang out. Mt pie supper, deer in the front lawn! Attractions close by in Decorah, Cunnings Park with waterfalls, the fish hatchery and a bit farther Pike's Peak along the Mississippi River [ 1 hr drive but worth it], also Island Park in the same area.
The house/cabin had just what we needed! Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and peaceful surroundings. Kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub, making smores in the firepit, and fishing the creek. Pond was heavier on the algae side to effectively fish, but our own pond at home gets that way sometimes and its just part of nature. :)
Loved our stay. Property was clean and comfortable. Large home with several bedrooms.
Sheets and towels were provided.
Hot tub was a great bonus for the evenings.
