Off the beaten path

If you are looking for a clean, cozy property in the country, this place is for you. The owner was excellent with communication The location was close to area state parks. We loved the views. Fromthe front of the house we saw cows grazing in the pasture. In the back we were able to see the river and one morning a couple of deer. Our trip was very relaxing.

Cozy Cabin

Flat Shoals cabin is very cute and cozy. The fridge and pantry were well stocked with the essentials (condiments, etc.). So when packing no need to worry about those to bring or shop for. Tina is very responsive and timely. Very close to all things in Rock Island and we also went to Fall Creek Falls which is about 40 mins away but worth it as well.

Great Pet Friendly Cabin on the Water

This was a great cabin in a great location for our long weekend vacation. This cabin was pet friendly and we were able to bring our 3 puppies with us. The front and side yard were big so the kids and puppies could run around and play. The water makes for a pretty view and is down a steep slope which was great because our kids and puppies couldn’t get to it unassisted. The cabin was spacious and stocked with everything needed to cook a meal. There were extra linens and a washer and dryer. The grill was nice as my husband grilled 2 of the meals. It was a really quiet place. The only noise we heard from the neighbors were the cows mooing across the street. This is a great place to stay for a family getaway.
