If you want peace and quiet, love to fish, hike and just enjoy your surroundings then this is your place. 5 minutes from Yellow River Forest, on property trout stream, Effigy Mounds a short drive away, great river road and local sights all nearby. The place is small and homey. We love it there.

My husband and I had amazing weekend getaway at the Creekside Cabin. We were so happy to unplug from the rest of the world and enjoy coffee on the porch, listening to the birds, drinks by the babbling creek and the hot tub was the highlight of it all. The cabin was beautifully appointed and the kitchen was stocked for the ease of cooking our meals. The weather was perfect for cracking the windows and feeling the cool breeze at night. We also explored a hiking trail nearby. We will definitely be back to share it with family next time.

The shower leaks, also doesnt shut off. This has caused black mold in the bathroom floor. The A/C didnt work the last day we were there. The hot tubcover hinge was broken and the hot tub was open when we arrived. It seemed dirty and has not been maintained. Beautiful property, Beautiful location. Lot of small things that could be easily fixed and we would go again if they were.

Long weekend trip

We loved the location of the cabin. It was close to a park, good fishing spots and other hiking spots. The couch and beds were pretty uncomfortable and we could have used more kitchen towels and wash cloths, but we enjoyed our stay.

Quiet Retreat by the Creek

We enjoyed our week at this cozy cabin. The sounds of the creek were relaxing and there was plenty of space for our kids to run and play. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed, and the accommodations were comfortable.

Amazing Location

This place as absolutely amazing. We had a great getaway weekend. It was everything and more. Only downside is the bed could be a little more comfortable, but everything else more than makes up for that.

Favorite cozy getaway

We’ve visited “the Iowa Cabin” many times over the past six years. It’s a cozy, well-equipped property with everything we need for a family getaway. The location is peaceful and we’ve taught our kids to trout fish in the stream on the property. Many great memories here - we’ll be back!
