Everything was clean, breakfast was wonderful. Staff was happy and so kind!

This was a perfect place to have our family gather! Meal preparation was easy in the well organized and stocked kitchen. The extra tables and chairs in the garage made a great dining hall. The weather was extremely hot, so the pool offered wonderful relief and was very fun. We would highly recommend this lovely home!

We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin! The cabin was extremely clean, had everything we needed (towels, bedding, basic kitchen supplies), and the ac unit kept up even in the heat wave we were experiencing (plus there are several fans you can move where desired). It has a beautiful view of the river, and the outdoor garden/patio space is stunning. The host even shared some tomatoes and peppers with us - yum! Yes, the floors are wonky and the ceiling is low in places, but it adds to the unique character of the place (granted, a 6ft person may be bothered more by the ceiling height in places, but we weren’t). Our kids loved this place and we’d stay here again! Great price, location, and overall stay! Thank you!

Super clean and nice lady at the desk, owner.

I first want to say the owners are very nice. I do think they wanted us to feel comfortable and welcome. The house is old and beautiful, my curiosity of growing up near this property made me want to stay here instead of Hampton Inn. The access to the living and dining room was appealing because my family still lives in keokuk and we don’t have anywhere big enough to relax and visit together. It does have such potential to be amazing if there are some changes made. There are no locks on any of the doors. The house was beautifully decorated and original which we really loved, however it was very dirty. Everywhere needs vacuumed. The kitchen was available for us to use but it was also dirty. Dishes in sink, nothing wiped down, skillet on the stove with food they had cooked on before. Refrigerator was packed full so we could hardly fit our daughters milk in it. The restrooms didn’t have handsoap, my daughters rooms toilet didn’t flush and had urine in it already. There also was a wasp nest in the upstairs room with dead wasps around it. We did take advantage of the beautiful dining area and played games with a few family members. I was thankful to have an area to be able to accommodate my family for a few hours since we were visiting. I was not told that there would be cats in the house. The kitten was very cute but I’m allergic. Overall it was a strange experience and not very professional. I do hope this helps because the owners are very kind. I wish them well.

Wonderful cabin. Well kept/clean, everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Secluded, perfect place to stay with our very vocal miniature schnauzer. There was nobody around for him to annoy with his barks of excitement! Saw lots of deer including a mama and her twins and one turkey. Enjoyed popcorn and listening to the records. Extremely comfortable bed. Porch was perfect for playing games in the rain and having morning coffee and grilling out. My only complaint was i was expecting a bottle of local wine to be waiting for us and there wasnt any wine. Maybe a small oversight on the hosts part or maybe I misread that on the listing, either way, nothing that would stop me from staying again.
