Very rustic
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.

Great spot
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.

A more scenic home away from home
This property had a very homestyle feel, as if you were going to Grandma’s for a stay! It had a relaxing & inviting feel 😌
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 wasn’t an exhausting list of to-do’s 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!

Family Christmas Vacation
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 s’mores 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 you’re looking for a quiet getaway, I would highly recommend this venue.

Friend Gathering
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.

Relaxing Getaway
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. :)
