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.

Great place to stay

This is a wonderful place to stay and we highly recommend it. Nice touches like a personal note and muffins, plenty of coffee pods, detergent to run a load of laundry, all added to the very pleasant experience. The deck has a lovely view of the river. Very nice!

Loved everything about "The Shop"!!!

Exactly what we were looking for! The proximity to downtown was perfect, the private 2nd-story deck overlooking the river was amazing, and the facilities were clean & comfortable. I grew up in Keosauqua and visit every few years, and The Shop will definitely be my go-to place to stay from now on!

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.

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.

The apartment was so clean and the decor is amazing with such attention to detail. The hosts provided many extras including coffee, creamer and sugar. Soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner were stocked. We loved the balcony with the view of the river. It was a lovely stay. Thanks Bev!

Very cute home away from home.

We enjoyed our stay, the property had everything we needed for our long weekend. The home was clean and matched the description in the listing. The entrance to the home requires you to climb a full set of stairs and may not be suitable for someone who has trouble walking. I would also advise to sleep with bedroom doors open as heating/cooling is only in the main part of the home. Overall we would rent again! Thank you!

Perfect River Getaway!

Loved staying at The Shop! The owners really thought of everything! Coffee, creamer, granola bars, popcorn, movies, books, etc! Immediately we felt relaxed and comfortable in this spacious Camaro themed space. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck every chance we got! Great amenities, close to the river, Misty's Maltshop, restaurants and walking paths. The Villages of Van Buren County are within a few miles and Lacey Keosauqua State Park is right over the bridge. We were lucky enough to meet the owners, who are amazing people! We have already booked our next getaway at The Shop!

My husband and I love to use the VRBO when we travel also, we enjoy riding bicycles and living along the river in a small quaint Village down

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique as it is above our workshop for our rental property and it houses a 1969 Camaro which The Shop was thought of and created from.. being along the Des Moines River makes it very inviting
