Bone's Backwater Retreat - "Where Rest and Relax are on Repeat!" 1 bd Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay!"

Secluded 1860 Stone House recently remodeled on the Upper Iowa River by Bluffton

8/10 Good

"it was very interesting staying here. our first thought was that we should hold a se'ance, and by no means was it scarey to stay in, just sort of the vibe when first arriving and entering the home, would live to dig into the history .. i would have preferred some type of window covering ( no curtains/shades, except for the bathrm window) on the windows. There was also the discovery of no inside door handle on one of the bdrm doors, which i thought to be a hazard as the door opened in and could not be opened from inside if shut completely. and also a air conditioning unit, that stated not to be plugged in, as it would blow a fuse, my thought would be to just remove it. The house was very clean, beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked. unfortunately, we didn't have alot of time to check out the surrounding property, but lots of pretty flowers and natural Prairie grasses around the home. very buggy outside , dont forget bug spray. very close to canoe/kayak launching. I would definitely stay again."

Cedar Lake Retreat with Private Beach + 8-Person Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Our annual girl trip was a blast in Nashua. The house was spacious with a great view. We used the garage spaces to inflate our paddle boards and store things not needed in the house. The large back deck went to a small beach area where we walked our boards into the water. Otherwise, we tied to the dock and enjoyed floating. There were multiple times sitting in the roomy hot tub. We walked the trails and even walked to Rooster’s coffee shop and Big Willie’s. We had such fun with the local dart players. We did go through the Little Brown Church and souvenir shop also. In general, the people we met were so nice and welcoming. We were even invited to return for the town festival held the end of June.Thank you Andy for a great place to stay."

Wild Rose Road Cabin <br>2595 Wild Rose Road Fort Atkinson Ia

10/10 Excellent

"We were looking for a place to host a family gathering that could comfortably accommodate a larger group, and Wild Rose Cabin in Fort Atkinson, Iowa, was a wonderful surprise. Our trip had two main priorities, and the property matched the VRBO description and photos perfectly. It was quiet, relaxing, and gave our family and friends a great place to spend time together. We gathered in the kitchen for coffee and conversation, the bedrooms were spacious, and the half bath in the upstairs loft worked well for our nephews. When an air-conditioning issue came up, the hosts resolved it right away. They also allowed us to host a family dinner with cousins we had not seen in more than 20 years, and everyone was impressed by how beautiful the property was. A big thank-you to the hosts from the Byram/Abbott family."
