Perfection

Well thought out layout & accommodations for a stay literally on the river. True relaxation created by the simple yet fun decor & extreme cleanliness. We wished we could move in & leave our cluttered life behind us!

Perfect little getaway

We loved the location right on the river! The most beautiful views and sunrises in the morning. Lots of boat action to watch also. House was great, clean, simple and stocked with all the essentials. We stopped at the gas station a few times and it was very cute and the people were very friendly. Saxon Hall had the best pizza and entertaining atmosphere. We definitely recommend this place to stay if you looking for a relaxing yet entertaining stay.

Beautiful sunrises and wonderful views of the Mississippi

This property is definitely a couples romantic retreat! Both the sunrises in the morning and the moon glistening on the river at night were quit spectacular! We didn’t have a lot of time to sit in the back and enjoy the views, or fish from the dock but both were available. The property was clean, smartly decorated and the place was quiet and peaceful. Entertainment, good restaurants and marinas close by. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful Place for Couples

This place was perfect for two people with three fully-stocked living areas. (living room, kitchen, bedroom.) The view of the Mississippi River is spectacular! It feels like you're in the water as the home has a ramp right off of the patio leading down to the river. Accommodations were very nice with a comfortable sofa, nice pub table & chairs, and a comfortable mattress on the king-sized bed. Kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and cookware. Towels were thick and soft; unlike some VRBO,'s with thin, well-used linens and towels. Washer/dryer, ice maker, outdoor gas firepit, and thickly padded deck furniture were all pluses. This is a great place to stay!
