A little bit about our area:
The Loess Hills are a unique geographical formation that are composed of fine ground wind blown silt from glacier deposits. As the glaciers melted, the Missouri Valley flooded with enormous amounts of water. Each winter, the waters froze, and large areas of sediments were left exposed to the wind and blew to the East and deposited in the dune like hills, you will see.
Preparation Canyon offers a lake for kayaking and public fishing. The Overlook on the north edge provides an amazing view as well as hike. This is also a great picnic spot.
The Loess Hills Scenic Byways are 200 miles of paved highway where you can see wildlife, prairie plants and hills.
Lewis and Clark State Park is located at Blue Lake, west on Onawa. A great place for boating or learning a little bit of history.
Towels and bedding and plates/ glasses/ silverware is provided. Please bring food and supplies for your stay. Grocery store in Onawa 12 miles away or a small gas station is located in town.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
House was wonderful! Furniture was comfortable and accommodating for all 8 of us. Lots of towels, great large washer and dryer, all the toilet supplies we needed. Our hiking group enjoyed the location so close to Preparation Canyon. Having The huge garage available for our the cars was so nice! The view from the front of the house was lovely and peaceful. The price was quite reasonable for the size of our group. The host Stephanie, was delightful and responsive. We had a minor issue with a blown fuse and the host was there within 15 minutes and had it fixed in seconds. The minor issues included: 1. A glitch in VRBO app that was not the host's fault. It promised two futons that did not exist. 2. Cookware was was worn out flaky Teflon and not cleaned well so felt greasy to the touch. 3. On our two 90 degree days, the air conditioner could not keep up until we turnout the thermostat down to 50 degrees. We were able to turn it up 10 degrees each day after as it cooled down outside. Stephanie was kind to tell us it was ok to turn it down as needed.
