Cabin

Wasn’t able to make it to the cabin due to weather conditions on my end, but I was able to get in contact with the owner very easy! She responded very quickly and was very understanding! The pictures looked wonderful and the property looked beautiful from the pictures!

My kids loved how quaint this cabin was. Much of the beach was underwater, but that was okay. It was very clean and had a nice feel about it. I appreciated having the kitchen as there are not a lot of places to eat in Nauvoo. We knew this and got groceries ahead of time. The deposit is collected from the company up front, and we booked many months in advance, so I was paying interest on the deposit, so I would just be aware of that.

Cabin on the Farm

We had a wonderful time. We did a lot of exploring in Shannon County. The cabin couldn't have been nicer. The bed was comfy. I loved listening to the frogs at night. It's peaceful and very private. The internet worked ok, but it sometimes took awhile to load. We had no cell signal. We have US Cellular. Andrew and Anisha we're very responsive to our needs. The property is a bit out of the way. I would suggest once you're there to limit your travels.

Perfect

This was a geode hunting/ fishing/ bday trip for my 15 year old and his best friend. The cabin, the location, the inside, the outside... it was exactly what I had hoped for. If you are an outdoorsy person and enjoy unplugging this is the perfect place for you. My main fear was critters - 4 and 8 legged, (but again, ready to deal with because that goes with getting away) but to my very pleasant surprise the host had a space heater running when we got there - which means any creepy crawlers had obviously been shooed away by the frequency of the host going to the property. And the cleanliness!!! Again, my expectations were realistic for a cabin in the woods... But this was better than some hotels in my hometown! The sink was actually cleaner than the one in my home! The location. Oh my gosh it was everything. RIGHT on the Mississippi meant the teen boys could do some serious night fishing. The fire ring on the beach was a great bonus. Being able to sit in a chair and listen to the waves, or walk the shoreline looking for rocks, or reading a book on the patio... It was the ultimate get away weekend. If you are an outdoorsy person and understand what it means to unplug, this is the place for you. I already want to go back. 10/10 recommend and will hopefully be back soon.

"Cottage" on the Mississippi

Suggest finding the place during daylight. This place is literally right next to the Mississippi River on an embankment and very dark at night, which is not a bad thing, but one really doesn't want to drive into the river! It was a bit difficult to find. Based on the price, which was great, I wasn't expecting too much, but with a little more care and some serious cleaning, it could be a really neat place. Given that and having experience and a cabin of my own in Colorado, these are my suggestions: CLEAN SHEETS! (In the Master space, they appeared blood-stained and dirty.) CLEAN MATTRESS COVERS! (There were none.) NEW OR CLEAN PILLOWS! (There were no pillow covers under the pillow case and they were pretty dirty and stained. Always a turn off!) EXTRA BLANKETS! (Fortunately, we had brought a few of our own. It was cold that weekend in October. If we had had another person with us, there would not have been enough to go around. As it was, we took a summer cotton blanket off of the bunk bed and happened to find a quilt in a cabinet.) SCRUB THE BATHROOM THOUROUGHLY AND WASH THE RUGS. PROVIDE AN EXTRA TOWEL FOR EACH PERSON IF THEY ARE STAYING OVER 2 DAYS. (Went into town to purchase some extra towels.) PROVIDE HOOKS TO HANG THE TOWELS ON. PROVIDE MORE THAN ONE ROLL OF CHEAP TOLIET PAPER. (We also had to purchase more toliet paper.) Otherwise, we had fun in the area, but mostly we were at the cottage at night. BE AWARE that there are NO groceries stores in the area. The closest one, I believe, was 15 miles away in Carthage, IL. We ate out a few times in Nauvoo and did what we could with food from Dollar General. CHECK-IN WAS EASY, once we found the place! PROVIDE AT LEAST 1 ROLL OF PAPER TOWELS or clean kitchen towels. (We also had to go purchase.)

Cute fishing cabin

Wish it had not been too windy to fish during our stay. Cute, modest cabin, accurately described. Not fancy but lovely view of the river and a nice little beach.

Location is the big draw

When I stayed here the rental was around $50 on a weekday, plus the cleaning fee. This I think is priced correctly for what it is. You are paying for the location right on the Mississippi with a private beach. The cabin is modest, and will meet basic needs but is by no means going to be a luxury rental. If you set your expectations to the description, you will not be disappointed. Had this cabin been priced over $100 a night I might have given a different star rating. What the cabin is like: Small, but liveable. We were going to have 4 people stay but ended up we only had 2. Cabin was PLENTY big for two people. 4 might have been a little bit crowded but there is PLENTY of outdoor space... so perhaps not. The cabin has a full (but small) kitchen. Sink, microwave, fridge and stove. I didn't ever find an oven mitt - so I used a towel when I reheated some food in the oven. Had basic silverware and plates, pots and pans. I wish there would have been tin foil on hand, but no big deal! No laundry at this cabin. There is a shower tub combo in the bathroom, there is a set of bunkbeds on one end of the cabin and a full size bed on the other. A couch could also serve as a bed, and there is an empty loft area, that could be slept in if you had an air mattress handy. The window air conditioner will keep the cabin cool unless it's sweltering out. Didn't make too much noise - was pleasantly surprised. Door locks and unlocks with a code, felt very secure here. no issues! There are no curtains on the front windows of the cabin that face the river. This was no big deal since no houses are in the way and no one drove down the road, very remote location after all. There were curtains on the sides of the cabin to block the view of any neighbors. We did find some random bugs in the cabin, but this was not unexpected. You are in the middle of nowhere and it's bound to happen. I was surprised there were not more actually. There is a fire pit and I wished I would have had chairs along I would have enjoyed that - perhaps next time. For those less squeamish, there were some deck chairs on the porch and plastic chairs in the yard but, they were covered in spiders and cobwebs, so I didn't want to clear them off. Took a nice walk in the evening and at sunrise down the road, absolutely great! There was even a small waterfall just up the road that was really nice.

Thrifty Perfection

We are a thrifty couple with three young kids and this was perfect. The view, the cabin, the easy drive to Fort Madison for a bit of shopping, good food/coffee, and history. Mostly we enjoyed splashing in the river though! The high was 85 and the air unit kept up well enough for what one should expect in a cabin. Would definitely come again!

Awesome Location but very musty

Location is beautiful and right off the river. The front doorknob was pretty loose when we checked in. Cobwebs in all windows. Would feel more safe if door was nice and tight and secure. It was very very musty. Couches smelled like cats or dogs terribly. Bedding and towels were nice and clean smelling though. My sons allergies were horrible to the mildew and we were unable to stay another night as planned. If you're sensitive to that kind of stuff then use caution. She was amazing to work with and refunded the next night. She was quick to respond and understanding and we appreciate her working with us and truly wish we could have stayed because location/view wise it was a 10/10.

It was pretty hot when we stayed there and the AC had problems cooling the place down, other than that it was a wonderful place by the river.

Enjoyable and relaxing

Loved the location and privacy. Beautiful view from the front window over looking the Mississippi River. Loved being able to walk down the beach looking for rocks and viewing wild life. Only complaint was the bathroom and kitchen. Food items had been left in the refrigerator and left over soap items and unclean trash can in bathroom.

Great location, needs a few things.

It was the prefect size for our stay. The location was great! It needs some help though, the windows need curtains, the heater did not keep the place warm enough, it could use a TV, and the flooring needs to be replaced.

Nice but needs updating

Cabin was OK but really needs updating. Furnishings were outdated and there were no blinds or curtains in front of cabin. The only pair of curtains were in the bedroom and needed to be replaced. It was on the Mississsippi River which was great but a 3 mile drive down an unpaved rock road was stressful. I hope some updates are made which would not be difficult and would definitely have made it more enjoyable for us.Good communication with owner we appreciated and the quiet peaceful setting we enjoyed also.
