The Lazy River cabin was excellent! Clean, quiet, and charming, with an cozy wood stove and a great hot tub. Plenty of space to sleep, heated floors in the basement, well stocked with towels and linnens, the dishwasher worked very well as did any kitchen equipment we used. The only issues we had were extremely minor. As usual with "rentals," the knives were quite dull. There was a loud heat pump on the upper level (it faded into the background quickly, but it was much louder than the identical unit on the first floor), and the hot tub couldn't maintain its temperature when the air was below about 20F. There were also only two working lamps in the cabin (plenty of ceiling lighting, though!). Again, all minor issues.We had an amazing stay.

Cabin was cozy, especially with a fire going.We had a great view of the stars and a meteor shower at night. Local recommendations for sights, food, gas, firewood, etc were spot on. Some of the cutlery/ utensils weren't completely clean (maybe from the previous guest) but we clean before using regardless.

2.5* property in 4* location

Pro’s:Nice location and check-in was easy. Hot tub. New appliances. Investments/renovations evident - work in progress?Cons:Cleanliness (sausage link in sleeper sofa, dust bunnies. Mechanicals: AC leaked water on floor, open hole in bathroom/laundry room ceiling, 1st floor bedroom window not securely attached to house. Tears in vinyl flooring. Comfort - sleeper sofa was unusable due to extremely thin mattress. Ok stay if you limit your expectations to a 2.5* property in a 4* setting.

Excellent choice!

The cabin is large and comfortable. Excellent setup for two couples and children. Inside was clean. The outside needs some picking up, which is to be expected in early springtime in Iowa.Some of the utensils, such as the can opener and vegetable peeler, need replacing.

Surprised

Surprised to see a tiny house just 500 feet from the cabin and the garage by the cabin being renovated as another cabin to rent; No one else stayed the days we did so we had the place to ourselves. It also appears that there will be more rentals going up soon, so the information and picture of the place should be updated. Otherwise, Gabby answered all questions promptly and check-in was a breeze! Enjoyed our stay!!

Family Christmas

My family met with the rest of my family at this cabin for a Christmas get together. We had a relaxing time being together in the cabin. Only thing that seemed odd was the amount of lights flickering and also electricity had shut off two times while we were there. Otherwise we loved it and wonder about visiting in the summertime too.
