Hear from our guests…

“If you are looking for a cabin to stay in every year. This. Is. It! From setting up the booking, we received a text from the owner, Julia. She sent us her number in case we needed anything and how to access the cabin once we arrived. Your mouth drops when you first enter the cabin because of the cleanliness and beauty of the cabin. It’s fully furnished in a very comfortable and home-y way. The launch is 30 seconds from the cabin and right in front of the cabin is a private dock. The river is just full of many fish. Don’t have a boat? Fish of the dock! You can catch anything. We will definitely be back. Both owners are amazing and we definitely found our yearly cabin!”

“This is a great place to stay right across from the street from the Mississippi river. If you are looking for a nice, clean, and quiet cabin with river access this is the one. They recently replaced the dock and it is large and stable. Additionally, the owners are phenomenal to work with and very responsive. Really impressed with this and would recommend it.”

“Very beautiful part of the river. Huge backwater lakes, channels, islands, eagles everywhere, waterfowl in extreme abundance, and don’t forget about the awesome fishing. Kids caught about 40 sunnies for dinner and the freezer, in less than an hour right on the dock. Huge pike and bass were easy to find with my boat. The cabin is on a really great big property. Very solid cabin with a nice layout and really good wifi. Loved the gaming room section. Brought up gaming laptops for the kids. The rest of us had cable tv and my chromecast in the living room (also put one in the gaming room TV, yes there’s 2 TVs). The air conditioning and a cieling fan in every room kept it cool. It was approaching 90 and humid every day, the cabin was so relaxing after a full hot day on the river. The 3 season porch was great for meals and made a great virtual office for a couple of days. I would definitely recommend this property.”
