We had a great stay at the Mississippi River Retreat. The house was a perfect home base for spending our days fishing the Mississippi River and a comfortable place to relax and hang out after a long day on the water.The outdoor space was a highlight, especially the fire pit and easy access to the Mississippi River. It’s a great setup if you’re coming to the area to fish or just want to spend time along the river.The house had everything we needed and made for a very enjoyable stay. A couple of small suggestions would be an updated grill and adding a toaster to the kitchen.Overall, a great river retreat and a place we’d definitely recommend.

My spouse and I wanted to get-away after Christmas, but before the CPA tax season starts. This was a great house. Quiet and homey. We had a small maintenance issue with the house and owner came by right away to fix. Would recommend.
