Peaceful getaway

What a wonderful property! If you love to fish, this is the place for you. We caught tons of fish during our stay. Nice bluegills, enormous bass and even a catfish. The sights and sounds of nature were amazing. The cabin was homey and large enough for my family of five. The shuffleboard table and poker table were our entertainment after the long day of fishing. Just an all around pleasant experience!

Great property in Muscatine County

The extended family has outgrown my parents farm house. We booked here to get enough beds for everyone, now that the kids are older and less interested in sleeping on the floor. The cabin was awesome - great secluded little spot amongst some ponds on a great piece of ground. We immediately booked it for another visit while we were eating breakfast that first morning. Communication was great, absolutely fit the bill for our needs.

It is what it is

The furniture is very uncomfortable. Lower level does not maintain temperature in cold weather. The grill on the patio needs a serious cleaning. The coyotes roaming the property were a nice touch. For a guy’s weekend, its was what we expected, a place to get away.
