Very welcoming

We went to Sibula to visit friends for a New Year’s celebration. This little house was everything that we needed plus more. Was so welcoming opening the door and having Christmas decorations up to give you the at home feeling. The home was well stocked and had everything that we needed to help us make our meals. Would definitely go back. Spent our night ringing in the new year at Sippi Side restaurant/bar in Savana listening to the band. Was an easy drive there. Plus, seeing all the eagles over the weekend was an added bonus!

Fall Getaway

The property was great and everything that was advertised. Great unique area surrounding the Mississippi River with beautiful fall colors. The wineries, pubs, and hiking areas weren't far and worth the trip!

Relaxing stay

We wanted somewhere quiet where my husband could fish and I could walk or read. The house was the perfect size for us and everyone was very friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing & extremely CLEAN

We loved the Mint house in Sabula. I would love to stay there again in the future. Everything was thought of ahead of time. I cooked breakfast and had every kitchen item I needed. Guest bedroom bed was very comfy.

Not your typical VRBO

We really felt like we were in a higher end place, it may sound funny be they have the best towels lol. Everything was spotless and everything in the entire house worked (if you rented other places then you know this isnt common). We can tell the owners care. They were super helpful with ideas to do during our stay too. Cannot say enough good things about our stay, we will definitely be back! Best home we've rented so far in 10yrs! Thank you!

Memorial Day Weekend

My wife and I and another couple rode motorcycles up from the KCMO area and enjoyed the ride! The home is very clean and cute and met our needs perfectly. We had a great time riding in the area and visiting a few local towns, parks and establishments.

Wonderful Property! Highly Recommend!

My family and I had a wonderful time at our stay at this location. We were so incredibly impressed by how clean and welcoming this little home was. The owners did an amazing job at renovating this home. It sat on an island surrounded by the Mississippi River. We loved this property and it had everything that we needed! I highly recommend staying in this property if you are ever in the area. The views in the surrounding area were absolutely breathtaking! We will definitely be back if we are ever in the area! Thank you for letting us stay :)
