Perfect Cute Cabin

The cabine was in the perfect location as it was close to all of the places I needed to go while I stayed for the weekend. It was a little confusing finding the correct door to get into but that was a very minor issue and did not cause any problems once we figured it out. Still deserves 5 stars. It was clean, organized, labels on everything, information clearly available to know everything we needed for our stay. I wish I would have had more time to enjoy the cabin as there was plenty to enjoy with games, TV, Internet, and it was so comfortable. Well worth the reservation.

Stay! You won’t be disappointed!

These cabins on the outskirts of town are so nice! We always enjoy our trips to NE Iowa, and this beautifully kept cabin made our stay even better! So clean, so homey! We’ll stay again and again! The host was great about communicating and the check in and check out was so nice and easy.

Perfect Getaway

We had a mid-week stay at the Country Cottage due to some work being done at our house. Shira was great to work with and was very accommodating, which we really appreciated. The cottage was lovely - it was comfortable and relaxing. It was surprisingly quiet even though it is located next to a busy highway. We would definitely stay here again and give it a high recommendation for family visiting the area.

Pleasant Experience

Country Cottage is nicely decorated, well stocked, and super clean. It made our visit to West Union a pleasant experience in October. We recommend visiting Northeast Iowa in late October to see beautiful fall foliage and staying at Country Cottage to make it an even better experience.

Accommodating

The hosts were lovely and accommodating. I cannot say enough good things about them or the property. The piece is the are close to the road, but it is a plus too; because it is convenient. This way you can get on the road and to your adventures in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
