Check in/out instructions were clear and easy. Property was great, very secluded. The unit as a whole was comfortable and clean, with everything we could need provided for us. Only downside was the ladybugs swarming everywhere. Took us an hour after checking in to get rid of them all.

Excellent property. Everything was very nice & comfy. The firepit was great - wood already stacked for us. Hot tub was extremely clean & very relaxing. The deck was very nice in the mornings to listen to the birds - squirrels were very chatty. Inside the caboose was wonderful. Was able to use the wood stove - it warmed the room nicely. Loved the train deco. My husband was very jealous... and now wants a caboose in the backyard! Local restaurants were very good. The backroads were fun to explore. The host was wonderful - communication was very easy. Would definitely recommend a stay here... we will definitely be back!

This is a great getaway!!! John is a great host. The caboose is just the way it is described. It rained most of the time we were there, so we were unable to take advantage of the grill and firepit, but we still enjoyed the birds singing and the quietness. There are many things to see/do in the area and we had a fun time.

My hubby & I had a fabulous, fun & unique 25th Anniversary here! Beautiful area, lots of wild life, relaxing hot tub & scenic drives to the nearby towns. “Coffee on the River” is a cute place for breakfast & the Great River Road is a must! Thank you John for the gift card & wine! Den & Amy
