We had a great stay. The host checked in but we didn’t need anything- the cabin is just as pictured with great views of the Des Moines River. The area has nice parks and lakes- can’t wait to come back!

Cozy little cabin that was great for a little couples weekend. The screened in porch overlooking the river was lovely for relaxing and reading. Keep in mind that the driveway has a pretty steep decline so you may not want to drive a low riding vehicle. Also the railing for the loft is pretty open so you'd have to keep an eye on small children.
