Absolutely Exceptional Stay – One of the Best Places I’ve Ever StayedI’m fortunate enough to travel extensively around the world for work, so I’ve experienced everything from luxury hotels to unique accommodations in many destinations. I stayed here while attending a family graduation, and I can honestly say this property exceeded every expectation.I stayed in Suite A for three nights, and from the moment I arrived, I was impressed. This was quite possibly the cleanest place I could have hoped for—immaculately maintained and incredibly welcoming.The décor was beautifully done and perfectly matched the character and charm of the location. The views were absolutely stunning, and every detail seemed thoughtfully planned.What impressed me most was how well-equipped everything was. The suite had more amenities and thoughtful touches than many high-end hotel chains I’ve stayed in, making it feel both luxurious and comfortable.I truly cannot recommend this place enough. If you are visiting Elkader, this property is an absolute must. This was actually my first VRBO experience, and it completely changed my perspective—it has convinced me that this is a style of travel I’ll be choosing much more often.I will absolutely stay here again, and I give it my highest recommendation without hesitation.

Beautiful view in the morning looking over the river. Beautiful room set up. Walking distance to coffees shops, bakery, stores, a walking path. The perfect evening set up in rocking chairs to enjoy drinks, conversation and the beauty of down town. Will definitely stay again.

April in Elkader

Relaxing stay on the Turkey River. Great Algerian food and drinks at Shera’s, lively bands at Deb’s Brewtopia, and vigorous hiking around the wetlands and hills. Accommodations were private and quiet. We’ll be back.

Great Location in a Great Town

We stayed four nights with a 6 year old and 4 year old. Great location with excellent views of the river, falls and stone bridge. Algerian restaurant and Irish Pub nearby are both above average. A bakery and two other nearby breakfast spots as well. Nice walks throughout town and many places for day trips. Great place to stay in a great town.
