About this property
Peaceful Lakeview Cabin
Welcome to this beautiful country cabin, the perfect retreat for those looking to unplug and enjoy nature. The cabin features a convenient staircase leading down to the lower level, granting easy access to the water for fishing and free use of the rowboat, kayaks, and canoe—life jackets included for your safety and peace of mind.
Inside, the cabin comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, with a master bedroom, a spacious loft with hardwood floors, and plenty of additional space for sleeping bags on the floor or deck. The bathroom is well-appointed with a tile shower and a relaxing jetted tub. The kitchen includes newer appliances, a washer and dryer, and the cooking and dining essentials you’ll need to feel right at home.
Enjoy all the basics for a comfortable stay—kitchen utensils, linens, and towels are provided. Outside, you’ll find a fire pit, LP grill, picnic table, plenty of space to roam, and walking paths to explore. Guests have free access to kayaks, a canoe, and a rowboat (life jackets included). Fishing is catch and release only, and swimming in the lake is not allowed due to insurance restrictions.
This is a rural getaway, so expect some local wildlife, bugs, and gravel roads—it’s all part of the charm. Please note: self-check-in is optional, and guests may be prepared to enjoy their stay without host assistance.
If you're looking for a fun, unique place to unplug and unwind—this is it.
*** The cabin is located near a small campground where you might see a few campers, mostly on weekends. If you have friends with RVs or campers, feel free to invite them to join you!
Guests are welcome to enjoy the kayaks and rowboat provided, along with life jackets for safety. Please note: swimming in the lake is not allowed due to insurance restrictions. Fishing is catch-and-release only, and we ask that you use artificial bait to help protect the fish during release.
There’s a $25 pet fee per stay.
To make your stay more comfortable, don’t forget to bring any personal items you might want—like an extra blanket or your favorite pillow. I don’t provide heavy blankets by default since I can’t launder them between every guest, but I’m happy to offer them upon request.

Clean and newer cabin. Quiet area and very scenic.
We enjoyed the property and all the outdoor activities, the water was beautiful and a perfect temperature. Our twin 4 year olds loved the loft area and jetted tub in the bathroom.
Beautiful cabin and amazing porch for morning coffee in a rocking chair!
Cabin was super clean with an AMAZING jet tub for relaxing.
Close to Backbone State Park and fun shopping in Elkader.
Thanks Andy for the lovely week!
Perfect cabin for a weekend stay or week long stay! All the amenities for a quiet stay & away from every day technology. Within 15-20 minutes to small, quaint towns including grocery, restaurants and small town shopping. Communication with host was convenient and very responsive. Thank you, we’ll be sure to recommend and be back!
This cabin was a beautiful little place out in the country, away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It made for a great chance for my family and I to get away from everyday life and just relax. Having access to the water made for some great memories for my niece. And my parents also especially enjoyed having such a nice sized deck/porch to laze around on. The owner was very polite and answered all my questions. Would absolutely stay here again!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cabin and couldn’t have asked for a better getaway! The cabin was beautiful, spacious, and exceptionally clean from the moment we arrived. The wraparound porch was one of our favorite features, providing the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.The private lake made our stay even more memorable. We loved taking the kayaks out each day and spending time on the water. It was exactly the kind of quiet, relaxing escape we were looking for.One of the biggest reasons we booked this cabin was because it is pet-friendly, and we were so happy to finally find a place where our dogs could join us on vacation. It truly felt like a complete family getaway, and they enjoyed it just as much as we did.Our host was outstanding. Communication was excellent before and throughout our stay, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Their kindness and hospitality exceeded our expectations and made us feel right at home.This was the perfect holiday getaway, and we made so many wonderful memories here. We will definitely be returning in the future and highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful place to relax with family including your four-legged family members!
First the host was amazing. Constant communication, friendly and helpful with all yhe questions we had leading up to our stay and even during our stay. The property was amazing. Cute cabin with upstairs and downstairs space. The lake was beautiful. My husband and i spent rhe majority of the time on kayaks and canoes fishing. Had fires at night. The kitchen comes fully equipped with everything you need. You can walk fully around the lake of youre looking to get a good walk in. Fishing was plentiful if youre looking to fish. Came across a beaver, turtles, 6 different fish breeds, a non venomous water snake (just once) and a muskrat. It was very peaceful at night and not too buggy but recommend some bug spray anyway. Service was spotty so fully plan to disconnect and be one with nature. Games were also available in the cabin so great for any rainy days. We also brought a grill grate and cast iron and cooked on open fire but there is an inside stove and outside grill available. We had a wonderful time and fully intend on returning again.
Great cabin, very peaceful. The only thing keeping this from full 5 stars is in the listing, there is nothing noting that this is in a campground. Luckily, it wasn’t busy so the stay was peaceful.
The cabin was clean, had plenty of supplies (bedding, towels, etc.), and the property was beautiful. We really appreciated the use of the watercraft. Andy was a great host, and super easy to get ahold of. Overall we had a wonderful stay.
Had fun time staying there. Just has lots of lady bugs and box elder bugs there, but as long as your not scared to of lady bugs . Its beautiful and fun kayaks and canoes to use..i would go agsin some day.
The property was very clean and we had the entire property to ourselves. Owner was very nice and helpful and quick to respond. I would visit this property again.
Really enjoyed brining my family to this cabin for a nice get away. Wadena is a nice remote town. We felt very secure and away from everyone. The cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. Great tub, shower, stairs to the pond, fire pit...everything you need. Would gladly book again!
Amazing little hidden gem in NE Iowa! Cabin was cozy, and inviting. Located close to Volga River, West Union and Fayette. Andy is a great host and made sure we had everything we might need. Highly recommend!
We picked this property for a relaxing sisters weekend! The cabin was what we expected, clean and cute. The teenagers loved the small lake and the kayaks and canoes provided, host was super friendly and nice. A great weekend of unplugging and spending time together.
