My family and I LOVED our stay at the cabin in Waterloo! It was the best Fall Break vacation! The boys did ALOT of fishing in the boat & from the bank. We afternoon we all went and explored and found a beautiful waterfall! There was a full harvest moon while there, the weather turned cooler but enjoyable! The cabin had all the amenities we needed to prepare meals and everything we needed to sleep comfortably! Mr. Tony was the BEST host! His hospitality was amazing. He always made sure we were ok and that we had everything we needed. He gave the boys options on where to fish and what baits to use and was always willing to help if needed! We could not have asked for a better host and plan to go back asap (hopefully after the school year ends)! By the end of our trip, being there felt like home and we hated to have to leave! We will be back!!! Thank you Mr. Tony for EVERYTHING! Hope to see you again soon!

Family outing

The docks could have used a little TLC but that didn't keep us from having a great time. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning and afternoon enjoying the scenery. The owner (Tony) was great. He helped us out with airing our towable tube and let us use two of his own tubes. He also offered to run me over to Eastport to pick up and return rental boat.

Great Secluded Spring Break

This house is cozy without feeling cramped. The layout is a little odd with both bathrooms upstairs and the third room accessed via outdoor steps. This was fine for us, but may be an issue if the plan is to have small kids in that room. The views and water access made it all worth it. The stairs to the water are no joke - but you'll get your steps in! Tony is very communicative and was so kind to take us out on his boat. We enjoyed hiking around the area and also just enjoying time in the house. Overall the house is clean, however it could use a deep clean in the higher up spots (hard to do due to the layout I'm sure).

Needs a good cleaning and a exterminator.

Location was great. We knew it was the middle of no where going in. Owners were friendly. Communicated well. There were cobwebs everywhere in the house. The stairs and dock were poorly maintained. Lots of spiders in the house. Almost to the point it I would think a exterminator needed called. There were nest and eggs in ever corner. The first night we had to clean spiders out of the beds. I could have understtod a few cobwebs but this was excessive. They were in all the rooms but most disturbing in the bedrooms. Our friend's even had spiders on luggage when they got home. Over all we had a good time but the house needs a exterminator , good cleaning and some maintenance. I would not stay here again if we choose to go back.

A good place to stay

My husband and I were on a trip with our son, daughter-in-law, & grandchildren ages 7 & 11. The cabin is rustic, but nice. It does have 3 floors with steps, plus steps going down the hill to the dock. Not for anyone who has difficulty with steps. But it was a good stay for us!

Waterloo

Took pontoon and fishing boat loved our stay but we are country folks it is an older cabin with a lot of stairs. The basement bedroom has a strong smell of stain from the renovation. The stairs to the boat docks need some upkeep as I fell through one of the boards…..would I go back yes with no hesitation

Awesome cabin

2 adults, 3 preschoolers, 3 middle schoolers. Stayed over a long holiday weekend. The cabin has gorgeous views, has everything you might need, plenty of sleeping room and areas for people to spread out. Tony was AMAZING and so supportive with area information and assistance. Will 100% rent again if we are in the area.

Beautiful ghost town

Mr Tony is the best host I’ve ever had. He lives next door and is super sweet and helpful. Does not bother you unless you ask him to. It’s 126 stairs to get to the water and you can rent a boat a pull right up to the dock. We swam off of Mr Tony’s dock. My only complaint was it needed a good power wash on the deck for all the cobwebs and the inside needed some dusting. Everything else was perfect. Clean bathrooms and beds. There are no restaurants or stores near but they also are only 45 min away. I suggest renting a boat or bringing a boat bc then everything is 5 min away. Everyone we came across in the town were kind and welcoming. Def somewhere to have a quiet vaca or retire there!

Nice place on the water

We stayed here for 2 nights. It was a fun trip. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and swimming in the creek. It is a long walk down stairs to the water so not great for older people but was fine for us. House was nice and has lake house wood charm and decor. It was comfortable inside for us and had internet and cable to keep kids busy during down time. There is a gas station/diner not far away that had good food and bait for fishing. The host, Tony, was very nice and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Tony Stanford

Host profile image
I have been living here full time, for the last 4 years, but I have been coming to the Waterloo area for the last 50 years. We actually live right beside this property, and can respond quickly if you need anything at all. We try to make sure all guests are completely satisfied, and hope you will return again ! Please call me if you have any questions whatsoever, prior to booking !

Why they chose this property

This property is right beside of my full time residence, and we rent it throughout the year to familes on vacation, bass fisherman competing in National tournaments, and even hunters in the fall.
There is a 20,000 plus acres of Wildlife Management Area, across the road from the rental property as well. The cove ( Salt Hollow ) is well protected from the river and wave action, so any of the boats tied to the docks are safe.
