27 Acre Northeast Iowa Wooded Property with Cabin on a Trout Stream
Note: Please include a short description of what brings you to the area when submitting your reservation request so that we may quickly review and approve your request.
Enjoy spectacular views of timber and wildlife from a large wrap-around deck, walk across the road and experience year-round amazing trout fishing, or take a walk on the miles of mowed trails leading to spectacular views from the lookouts and rock bluffs. This property has it all! This is a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom cabin with a full kitchen and 2 car garage. The property is secluded yet close to many of the great attractions that Decorah, Iowa area has to offer. Located on South Bear Creek, Iowa's premier trout fishing stream, a short drive to some of the most scenic canoeing in North America on the Upper Iowa River, a short drive to Decorah to enjoy some world renowned craft beer from Toppling Goliath or Pulpit Rock Breweries, or shopping at some of the many shops and restaurants.
This secluded cabin located in scenic Northeast Iowa allows you to experience nature all with the comfort of modern living. The full kitchen includes full size refrigerator, range with oven, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, cookware, dinnerware, washer and dryer, charcoal grill and large reclaimed barn board dining table. Bed linens and towels are provided.
On-property features: Enjoy making s'mores around the fire ring and gazing at the stars. Go for a hike on the 27 acres of wooded and prairie trails. Rest your feet relaxing on the private wrap-around deck. Move to the living room to enjoy You Tube TV and LG internet channels, DVD player and free Wi-Fi.
Area attractions: South Bear Creek, just across the road from the cabin, and North Bear Creek, a short jaunt to the east, offer world class trout fishing in the stocked stream. There are also hundreds of acres of public land adjoining the property. Don't miss canoeing on the Upper Iowa River, named one of America's 100 greatest adventures by National Geographic magazine. Several outfitters are available, just minutes away.
The Highland General Store is located just to the west at the corner of Quandahl Rd and Highlandville Rd. This quaint store is worth a visit! They carry a large variety of groceries as well as unique gifts and pictures. You can purchase your hunting and fishing license there and stock up on fishing tackle.
The cabin is just 14 miles north of Decorah, home to Luther College and many attractions, shops and restaurants. You can view the famous Decorah Eagles in person instead of YouTube, see the beautiful waterfall at Dunning Springs, hike or mountain bike the many miles of trails in Dunning Springs and Palisades Park, visit Decorah's Norwegian museum, then taste the award winning beers at any of the three breweries - two in Decorah and another just a few miles south at Calmar.
Take a scenic drive on one of many winding tree-lined roads. Visit one of the caves in the area - most offer guided tours. Seed Savers Exchange, boasting a bank of heirloom seeds is just 12 miles to the east. The cabin is just 12 miles south of Spring Grove, MN where you can tour a distillery and the famous Spring Grove soda pop factory.
There is no end to the activities and attractions. Wisconsin Dells, Effigy Mounds and the Mississippi River are all close enough for a day-trip.
Note: There are outside security cameras covering the outside perimeter of the house, outbuildings and driveway.
