Located directly on the Mississippi River, this vacation cabin boasts an incredible view of the river and bluffs of Iowa and Wisconsin.

This home sleeps 8 with 2 bedrooms upstairs each with private balconies and 1 ½ bathrooms. The Water Street Cabin is within walking distance to wineries, shops, restaurants, and a casino. You can enjoy nature by visiting local attractions like Effigy Mounds, Pike’s Peak, or walk next door for a guided nature boat tour with Maiden Voyage Tours. Launch your own boat next door at the public boat landing to explore Pool 10. No boat, no problem. Inquire about renting a boat with Captain Chartered Boat Rentals that includes a driver and conveniently picks up and drops off right on site. Please note train tracks run along the river and you will see and hear train activity so please plan accordingly. To be clear you will see and hear boats and barges from the front of the home and trains from the back. Your safety matters so please also note there is not a fence between house and river or house and train tracks.

Wonderful Stay
Water Street Cabin had everything we needed to make ourselves comfortable, cook our meals, and relax. We stayed with our 3 adult children and had plenty of space. We enjoyed the location, and getting to hot tub was a true bonus.

Amazing place, amazing location
We arrived to a clean and tidy house right on the river! The views are amazing. The location is in walking distance to some fun places as well as outdoor activities. A two minute drive will bring you to McGregor, a town with charming shops and dining options. Cross the bridge over to PDC for even more dining and shopping options. A five minute drive in any direction will bring you to excellent hiking and overlook areas!

Very disappointing!
The location of the rental property was very appealing to us, along the Mississippi, close to downtown, it was what we were looking for. What we were not looking for were trains that would run almost on the hour all through the night, both nights that we were there. We should have known when we walked into the cabin and saw the large jars of earplugs. It was a miserable experience, it felt like the train was running through the cabin as the cabin literally shook with each passing train. There were also issues with the hot tub and other amenities within the cabin. I gave the owner the benefit of the doubt, and I contacted them prior to writing this review, their response was very disappointing. There are many other beautiful places to rent in that area, find one other than this one.
Great location for exploring the area or just relaxing and watching the river and trains go by. Cabin is very comfortable and has all the amenities you could need.

Beautiful home
The house was lovely but the constant trains during the night kept us awake each night.

Loved the vibe and view
The property was such a nice space. Quaint, clean, cozy. Great for conversations, cooking meals (well equipped), enjoying the scenery and convenience to places we explored. Loved it. Our only negative had to do with the very loud trains at night starting at about 10:00 and continuing every hour until about 4:00. It definitely disrupted sleep on night one. I actually slept through some of it on night two.

Good place overall
The cabin was super pretty, great decor, very comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were slightly awkward set up, especially for taller adults, and there were no basic toiletries offered like bath soap, shampoo or conditioner. For anyone who might be concerned with the train, I'll say it does run often all day and night long. It also stops often right in front of the house, which means you hear it come, and then go about 5 minutes later. This was no problem for us except at night. Anyone sleeping in the bedroom at the front of the house should be aware the noise is very loud. The people in the back bedroom were fine tho. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view, hot tub was great, location was perfect. Thank you Laura!

Riverfront views but very loud
The property is a nice little setup, clean, and well stocked. We however were very disappointed and were not able to sleep at night due to trains going past every hour all night long. And I mean all night. We only stayed for one night of our two-night visit. We emailed the host to say we were leaving and basically got a short "safe travels" reply. Lesson learned here I guess.
