Had an amazing experience. Right by the Des Moines river. Owners are terrific. Nice quiet area to go and stay to get away from the busy and loud everyday life. Beds were very comfortable to sleep in. My kids loved every minute of our stay and want to go back. 10/10 for my family!

Wonderful cabin with a great view!

The cabin was perfect for our weekend hiking trip. The cabin was just as advertised and the host was very responsive with any questions I had. We cooked three delicious meals on the blackstone while enjoying the beautiful view of the river. We would definitely book this place again.

Wonderful pet friendly nature retreat!

My husband and I needed a pet friendly cabin for an impromptu weekend get away and this place was perfect! We were looking to escape the city and enjoy nature and this place had it all. It overlooks the river but is close to a cute little town in case you need anything and a state park. The cabin was super clean and comfortable as well! We will definitely be back!

Relaxing

Three of us girls stayed at this cabin on the river. We enjoyed it immensely. Everything was provided but food. Very clean and comfortable and relaxing staying here. It was quiet and we sat on the deck most of the time. Would stay here again and recommend it to anyone that loves nature or just wants a quiet getaway.

What a view!

Beautiful little cabin on the river with a covered porch that let's you enjoy a magnificent view. This is a very clean and comfortable property! The only quirk is that it only has one true bedroom with a door and it has two twin beds. The second is part of the living room with a curtain to separate it from the rest of the room. It does show that in the pics, but I wasn't quite sure of the setup until I saw it in person. Just a good thing to know if going with friends. It was close to town, but a feeling of being in the country. Great communication with the host.

Privacy issues

This cabin was nice, the view and fishing were excellent, but the owner was around a lot. He needed to fix the wi-fi which was understandable, but we were surprised to see him working on it while we were there. I had told him the week of that there was no need to fix the wi-fi because we were not going to use the internet during our stay. The last night, the owner of this cabin was on his side-by-side in the backyard at 1030pm which my husband and I thought was disturbing.
