The property was more private than we were anticipating. Very quiet neighborhood on a dead end gravel road. The house has it's own dock and boat launch, which was not expected. We brought our fishing boat, so it was perfect! There were a lot of backup supplies that came in handy, also. The house is a bit dated, but we did not mind; it did not affect our experience at all. A couple critiques: consider putting curtains on the windows (especially the bedrooms.) There is central AC, but the bedrooms get pretty warm and then stay warm overnight. They would help the AC not struggle as much to cool the house during the day, in general. They would also help for those that aren't early risers. We were up with the sun by 5:30am each day and would have liked to have been able to sleep longer, as we work evenings. Also, the power went out our last night there. Being on a well system, we ended up with no water also. We noticed almost all of the neighbors have backup generators, which makes me think that it happens regularly. Should maybe consider doing this also. Note: it did storm our last day there. Overall it was a great place and a great time. We would definitely stay here again!

What you see in the pictures is what you get. It's obviously not super modern or up to date but it is a beautiful area and it has everything you need for a quiet getaway. We would definitely stay again and throughly enjoyed the wildlife and beautiful views of the river. It reminded me of going to the deer lease with my dad growing up.

The house was very comfortable and completely met our needs. It was well stocked and had terrific views of the Mississippi River. The fact that we could have or dogs with us was without a doubt a plus. We would definitely be interested in staying there again. One drawback was the early checkout time.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2022
The location on the river was amazing. The house was well equipped for guests and had a great layout for hanging out. We had a daily woodpecker visitor that really wanted to join us knocking on the windows. The house could use some work, a couple outlets we went to use did not work on main floor and upper master room, and one lamp had no light bulb. The upper sliding doors were difficult to open and close. But overall a nice stay.
