We really enjoyed our weekend stay! It is a great location to home base for exploring NE Iowa. We enjoyed watching the barges and boats from the large deck. This was our second stay here, and the upstairs bedroom overlooking the river was nicely updated since our first stay. This is a spacious and clean home. Would definitely stay again!

Was pleasantly surprised by the house. We spent most of our time on the deck that has an amazing view of the river and bridge. Parts of the house are a little dated but it was clean and comfortable. It’s also walking distance to town. Jean was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely stay here again!

Jean checked on us several times to make sure everything was fine. She has done a great job with the property. The house was clean, organized, and just great for us. Kitchen had everything we needed and plenty of room to house our family to eat together. Beds were very comfortable and it was easy to sleep. The overlook of the river is a great view. We definitely would recommend this house and will stay again.

Very Comfortable Stay & Great River View

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, cozy and warm and the view incredible. We enjoyed seeing the sunrise over the river and watching all the bald eagles from the comfort of the living room. This was our second stay. Our first was over the Christmas Holiday when we were able to enjoy family time. We had all we needed to cook and serve meals and lots of room to play games and enjoy our time together.

Wow! One of the best views on the Mississippi River! This spacious, beautiful home had everything we needed and then some! Stunning views from nearly every room; well-stocked roomy kitchen; spacious bedrooms with wonderful mattresses; a huge deck with plenty of chairs and a table; cozy living room with comfy furniture. Wonderful hosts and prompt communication. We stayed for our annual sister’s retreat.

Unbelievable Views

Views were even more stunning than the listing. Perfectly situated for walks around town. Only drawback was the AC flow to the 2nd story. We stayed during the hottest weekend yet and were unable to make use of the extra rooms due to the temps upstairs. Other than that, lovely place to stay!

Recharge Weekend

We spent Friday through Tuesday relaxing at your Lansing vacation home. The weather was just right for hanging out on the deck and driving along the river. The house was spacious, uncluttered, and perfect for watching our favorite teams play football, volleyball, and basketball. We will most definitely consider returning!

The view was amazing of the river, the bluffs, and the eagles. The deck was perfect in the morning and shaded in the hot sun. It was walking distance to everything in town. The living room, kitchen and dining was spacious and had 2 tables. The downstairs shower had a rain shower head and a fold down bench if needed. The upstairs had a bath/shower combo perfect for littles. The photo book was fun to see how the house looked before she started renovations. Jean was very easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our time there and already are planning another stay!

Could’ve been better

Didn’t know anyone lived in the house. We didn’t come in contact with them but that would’ve been nice to know prior to booking. House smells musty. Hair from someone else in the bathroom and on towels. Place to sleep.

It's unfortunate that your stay at the house didn't meet your expectations, especially on a weekend when the view from there with the fall colors is so beautiful. I haven't noticed a musty smell but thanks for letting me know that you did. The heat has been running so that may have taken care of it but I will also open up the windows for while.
