My husband and I stayed in Oct 2026, just needed a place for a night during our travels. The cabin was clean and comfortable and the area was quiet and peaceful. We cooked a quick meal and found everything we needed in the kitchen. There was ample grassy area on the property to walk the dog which is always a plus. We required an ADA cabin and the shower was one of the nicest I’ve seen. Communication with the host was quick and helpful! Highly recommend!!

Cute cabins!

The cabin was clean and well suited for our needs. This worked great for our group with each couple still having privacy. The only shortcoming was that due to the bedroom being very warm, we slept on the hideaway bed in the main area which was less comfortable. Communication with the host prior to our stay was quick and easy!

All the cabins on the property appear be getting exterior renovations. Cabin #4 looked like it had recieved minor exterior repair with other places needing minor attention. Overall the cabins look solid and sturdy with great integrity. Very accommodating amenities to comfortably sleep and house the 4 of us plus our pup.The cabin essentials were in good operating condition with a back-up window AC that did a wonderful job keeping the unit cool and comfortable. The coffee pot needed a deeper clean before we used it and under the couch could use a clean sweep.Overall our stay was very enjoyable and we loved the property layout and cabin setting. We used the fire pit and solid charcoal grill both nights.Thank you so much for letting us stay and enjoy this scenic and serene, gravel get-away in Southern Iowa!
