Stay in Driftless Area

Property worked out very well for 6 night stay and exploration of bluff region. I stayed with my dog and the large yard area was perfect for throwing her ball and exercise. Otherwise I spent time bird watching up and down the River and hiking around a bit. I also stopped at the Madigan Winery and ate a couple times at the "Safe House" in town and at the "Great River Inn" across the river..

So very quiet!

My husband and I spent three nights at this beautiful cabin! It is in a lovely location with trees and bluffs behind. Has everything you need to have a quiet retreat in Nature. Up a short hill, there’s a fire pit and chairs to allow star gazing away from the yard light. We opted to use the futon bed on the first floor which was very comfortable. Took a minute to figure out the bathroom lock - quick call to the host is all it took as I was over thinking it. Lovely hosts, beautiful scenery, very clean with everything one needs to be far from the madding crowd!

Nice Small Cabin

It's a really nice property out in the country. It is well taken care of. It would be great for a husband and wife with 2 kids. A group of 4 friends, you'd have to share beds or figure something else out. The bathroom is detached but it is a very nice bathroom. It's a nice comfortable place to stay.
