Thank you for the review, Karen. We hope to host you again and make it a 5-star experience for you!
This property was a very nice place to relax and just get away from everything. It is in the perfect location , about 10 minutes from town and about 20 minutes from Giant City State Park. The host was very quick to respond when we had a question about something. We have already talked about going back next year!

Great guest! Cassidy left our place neat and tidy. Welcome back any time.
Perfect cabin for two. Private, last cabin on the road. Deer every night in the surrounding fields. Peacocks roaming the fields from the private barn you pass on the way in. We had a small issue with the tv remote. We sent a text and it was resolved quickly. Very close to Giant City park which is a must see. Might have to come back. Thank you for a wonderful few days
