The cabin was the perfect size for my husband and I and our 3 kids. The one bedroom was geared more towards kids, so they loved sleeping on the bunk beds with the pull out mattress. The kitchen was spacious for us to cook meals while we were there. It was nice and clean upon arrival. We had a great stay!

We had a wonderful stay the the Cabin in the Bluff. The property was clean and as pictured. The check in and check out process was easy. The host, Ryan, responded quickly to our few minor inquiries during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!The property is on a main road, but it is still a quiet location surrounded by the beautiful bluffs. It is ideally located for very short trips to Prairie du Chien, Effigy Mounds, Pikes Peak, St Feriole Island, boating on the Mississippi, and Maiden Voyage tours. It was even less than an hour to get to the Upper Wisconsin River for a day of canoeing on a smaller river without boats and barges.

Weekend getaway

This property was exactly what we needed. It was close to a nice park and splash pad for the kids. We were a little nervous with the river so high so we chose to stay close to the house. The house was cozy with plenty of room for everyone. Bunk beds were a hit with the little ones. We took a little drive to Spook Cave and it did not disappoint. We were all able to see something new.😃

All in all a great place

Nice place and location for what we were doing "fishing river". Only thing that was an issue was the thermostat being remotely controlled. We arrived & it was set at 74. Me & my friend are heat sensitive so we set it to 72 which was perfect. Arrived back to it at 73 after a days fishing & couldn't change it. Made for an uncomfortable nights sleep.

Great place!

This was a wonderful place to stay for a getaway. It was quiet and located in a beautiful area. The first morning we were there I was outside having a cup of coffee and a doe and her fawn walked into the front yard from the woods across the street. Overall it was fantastic and I'd definitely stay here again.
