About this property

Cabin Cove on the river

*Please note: While we do accept pets we ask that you have no more than 1 large dog or two small dogs without pre-approval. There is a $50 pet fee that will be added after you confirm your reservation.
Take a step back in time when you enter our little log cabin by the river. Built in 1949, this cabin is a replica of the log cabins built by the gold seekers of Alaska. Though modern in most aspects we have retained the native charm of unfinished wood, rough, hand-hewn logs and naked beams. The inspiration for the cabin was found by my great grandfather who spent time in Alaska working on the Alcan highway. You will find evidence of its Canadian heritage throughout the cabin.
The cabin sits up on a gently sloping cliff and offers excellent views of the river. Enjoy a glass of wine on the dock and relax as you watch the sun set.
We love hosting and enjoy sharing the peace and serenity of this beautiful place. If you need anything at all, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Cozy hideaway
I rented this property for my family to stay in while visiting. The house was beautiful with lovely views of the river and beautiful grounds. The host was very accommodating. My family is already looking to book it again next year for their next visit.

Good experience
The property was clean, and the bathroom had been remodeled and the mattresses changed since our last stay. Also, I'm pretty sure we left 2 Iowa Chops in the freezer. I think they fell behind the ice bin. Feel free to eat them. We just purchased them on Friday.

Wonderful, quaint cabin
Loved the wildlife, flowers, quilts, Tiffany-style lamps. Provides everything you could need. Wonderful experience! The only negative thing I can think of is there is definitely a damp smell as you walk in the door. However, it still may be my new favorite place.

It was actually even nicer than expected. Coffee and condiments in the refrigerator. All paper goods were supplied. Watched deer, birds, and other wildlife through the windows every morning. Just minutes from downtown shopping, good restaurants, historical sites, beautiful walking trails, and beautiful river road drive. I took advantage of all.

Great cabin on the Iowa river.
Loved the picture window that looked out at bird feeders and the river. Every morning we had many different types of bird to watch while we ate breakfast. Loved the glider on the front porch. Lovely decorations in the cabin. All the amenities we needed. Easy drive into town.

Good place to stay in Iowa Falls. Nice view of the river from the deck out back. We were able to watch a deer and her fawns from the front porch and other wildlife came up to the birdfeeders. Beds were comfortable.
