Spring Fishing Trip

My husband I stayed for a quick weekend fishing trip on Lake Sugema. We prefer to stay downtown for the quick access to the restaurant, bars, and Misty’s. We liked having another option to the local hotel. We were able to check-in early with no issues, and were also offered a late check-out. My only suggestion would be a mattress topper, as the bed was stiffer than we like, but for two nights it was ok.

One of the best!

This property was incredibly clean and inviting and homey! Communicating with Bev was incredibly easy and she was immediately responsive if I texted anything. She helped us navigate the area in the middle of winter.! Little touches made this a great stay. From the muffins, flannel sheets, Kleenex boxes next to the bed and even the right kind of toilet paper! The kitchen was completely stocked with everything we could ever imagine, including Ziploc bags, which a lot of places don’t have and can be incredibly useful! There’s a great view of the river and you’re easily able to walk into downtown or the river. Not that we could take advantage of either of those things due to the temperature but nice to know for our next visit. We were able to enjoy some of the local events like a soup, sandwich and pie dinner at a historic hotel and a community play, thanks to Bev’s recommendations. While we understand not everyone likes ladybugs, there were even 2 two ladybugs inside which matched the really cute decor! We saw them as a good sign because we know they are lucky! Highly recommend this location if you’re ever in the area!

The Shop

My sister and I stay in lots of VRBOs, and we agree that this may be the best one we have ever stayed in. Everything was excellent. Great kitchen, great bathroom with washer and dryer, two bedrooms with very comfortable beds, great deck with a view of the river, great selection of movies to watch. We slept with the windows open. It was nice and cool. There was really no outside noise (who has ever been in a town with no traffic noise). We were close to the river, close to a hotel with wine and happily, close to an ice cream shop. Wish it was closer to us so we could stay again.

Great location and the nicest facility.

It's got a great location, quiet overlooking the Des Moines River. Sitting on the attached deck was very relaxing. Interior, the decor was well executed, very complete place to stay. Four could easily stay here a month comfortably. Another thing that impressed me was the completeness of the kitchen, some places say they've got a complete kitchen when they've got four knives spoons forks, four plates, four glasses. This location has plenty of not only plates but a reasonable selection of condiments and spices. Overall, Band-Aids and disposable razors. Maybe the best way of saying it is our hosts wanted us to feel like family visiting. And I felt welcome because of it. It's mentioned in the description but remember you do have steps to go up, the unit is on the second floor. There are hand railings on both sides, stairs are stable and it's well lit. Parking is easy and very accessible. If this was a chain I'd stay there all the time.

Can I give more than 5 stars?

I booked my trip and immediately received a message from the property owner, Bev. She was kind, sweet and provided me with the check in process and, location. Once I arrived, the rental was exactly as described and pictured only...better if thats possible. The pictures do not adequately provide how spacious and immaculately clean the apartment is. I was able to check in with ease and received a charming hand written note with a little introduction, tips, her phone number in case I needed anything and freshly baked treats, which were welcomed and appreciated after a long trip with several hiccups in my journeys. I looked around the apartment and the place was spotless. The decor was charming, and very tastefully done. It was warm, welcoming and comfortable. It felt like home away from home! The snacks and stocked K cups were a wonderful touch as well. Because of the cold weather, I didn't get out on the deck as much as I wanted but the view of the river was beautiful, tranquil and peaceful. The beds were amazingly comfortable and I slept like a dream! The stocked toiletries were also a welcomed touch. I wish I could give 100 stars. Not only for the quality of the apartment itself but for the kindness, great communication and how welcome the hosts made me feel. I can't say enough great things about the property or hosts. I will absolutely be revisiting. Thank you Bev and Jeff for making my stay memorable for all the right reasons.

What a great place to stay! This place was not our first choice but our other place was already booked, with that said THE SHOP is now the first choice anytime we go back. We enjoyed coming in from hunting during the day, cleaning up and being a short walk to great local restaurants and taverns. Once we get drawn again to hunt I will be booking THE SHOP way in advance.
