Very unique getaway!
Staying at the Captain's Quarters was an extremely fun and unique experience, offering a home above the ground in the tree line. While it was a slight adventure with the bathroom and shower accessible from the outdoors, but off the attached deck, the quaint little home was beautiful and easily slept five of us. A fully stocked outdoor fire pit was fantastic to enjoy a campfire, s'mores, and fun storytelling. It's easily accessible and halfway between Nauvoo and Keokuk. The property owner takes great pride and managing the home and making it available for use. Only item to consider is there isn't enough stove to cook a full meal for a family of five., but he provided great recommendations for local restaurants that we enjoyed.

Woodland paradise
Our stay was amazing! We stayed two nights and had bonfires both nights. We hiked the trails and Paris served as our guide. The outhouse and outdoor shower was a different experience but absolutely unique! We loved all the unique features of the cabin and the location! We came in October and the temperature was perfect. We will be back for sure!
