Liked: Cleanliness
Cabins are very close to each other with little privacy. We were also surprised to find bed linens but no towels.
Nice to have a screen porch but the view was of the neighbors garbage and discarded appliances.
Good dock access to River.
Clean and comfortable for the price.
Great pizza at the River Ratz bar.

The location next to the water was wonderful. We were able to see the sunset and take some great photos. The temperature had dropped but the cabin was warm and toasty.

I was not aware that the property did not provide towels and wash cloths. (I didn’t read the whole description. Lesson learned). When I called about it they directed me to a stash of towels in another building. He didn’t have to do that! Great customer service!

We enjoyed our stay. The property manager was very helpful and explained the check in process thoroughly. The cabin was only a short walk away to the Mississippi River where we took in some beautiful sunsets. A short drive down the road took us to Alma WI and a truly breathtaking view at Buena Vista Park. The only drawback for me was the close proximity to the other cabins. I would’ve liked a little more space to call my own.

Uniquely different property. Appears to be a Nice set up for hunters/fishermen. A little deceiving listing as it is not on the water. You can see the River and a short walk across the road to the dock but not on the River. It is in a residential area.

A small warning
Everything about this place was beautiful. Friendly staff, accommodating, gorgeous cabins and location. Only problem: after being there for a few hours, my partner had found a couple bed bugs in the bed in the main bedroom. Not a big deal since we both lived nearby and just ended up coming home but definitely put a damper on our weekend trip.
