Family Getaway
The property was exactly what we were looking for---private and peaceful with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for our family of 3. The host Brendon was very responsive and provided detailed instructions for the check-in and check-out process. The cabin is fully equipped with everything you need and the carport was nice to protect our vehicle from the elements.

We had a great time at this cabin. We walked down to the trout stream and caught a couple trout! We drove to close by streams and caught trout. Sitting on the porch was so relaxing even though it was hot during our stay, the breeze kept it comfortable. The cabin is well stocked and very comfortable. We will definitively be back.

The BEST kept secret location!
If you are looking for privacy, seclusion, and relaxation this is the place for you! We LOVE this property and hope to return for a third (and more) time. The fishing is great and right in your back yard. The property is beautiful; we saw deer every day and had some amazing bird watching with our binocs. It is only a short drive to some good restaurants and cute shops (Decorah). The house is stocked with everything you need. This is the only property we’ve ever made a point to visit for a second time, and we can’t wait to come again!

Nothing fancy about it, which is exactly what we wanted. A simple place that had running water, electricity and a bed at night. Streams that are on the property were well maintained. Lots of wildlife around. We will definitely be staying here again!

Cabin with Trout Stream
We enjoyed our stay immensely.. The inside of the house was very nice, though somewhat dated. A lot of the outside was a little bit unkept and needed some work. It is a very nice location and convenient to many local attractions. Plus fishing in the creek was pretty good.

A comfortable stay
I wanted to spend my 70th birthday pretending that we lived in a little farmhouse surrounded by trees and a trout stream, close to town, but out in the countryside, and voila! There we were! A perfect getaway for us! Cabin instructions were easy to understand, and everything we needed was there. Hope to return.

Labor Day Weekend Stay
It has a nice cabin feel and has all the necessities for cooking etc. The outdoor porch is great! The stairs up to the cabin can be a little tricky for older people and the loft stairs are a lot tricky. Nicely remodeled bathroom and back bedroom. The property outside is beautiful. We gave 4 stars on cleanliness because the outdoor grill needed a good cleaning and repairs. Keep in mind this is a cabin so it is mix and match as far as decore etc. But it is clean and will have everything you need and more for a long weekend. Great location. The owners left us a couple of local favorite beverages which was a nice touch.

Fishing weekend
We spent a beautiful spring weekend with 4 adults and 4 kids fishing and catching butterflies. the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and everyone slept well. Words cannot describe how awesome it was to have our own access to the water for fishing. It was perfect.

Cabin by a Stream
Brendan's cabin has a beautiful setting with mowed trails through the edge of the woods and along a trout stream. The deck is spacious, and the picnic table under the shelter on the trail is also a great place to spend time. The house has a newly-remodeled bathroom and bedroom, and a somewhat rustic sun room/entry that has a second dining table and with great views. Another plus of the cabin is how close it is to Seed Savers with all of its hiking trails. Brendan communicates clearly and answers questions promptly.

My husband’s favorite vrbo rental
I oooh and aaaah at places decked out in chintz with marble topped counters and high end appliances. My husband could care less. I have to admit that I was not expecting to like this rental as much as I did. Everything was where it belonged. It was a comfortable stay. The path to the creek was mowed. It was a glorious evening walk. One thing would be to carefully copy the instructions sent about how to find the cabin. Our GPS was off by a quarter of a mile. When all else fails, read the directions…duh. Loved it!

Great cabin in a quiet area next to a river. Enjoyed fishing, even though we didn't catch anything. Loved the sound of the river which could be heard when we were having a fire. Quaint cabin, reminded me of our family cabin we used to have. Communication from Brendon was great. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.

I liked the abundance of wildlife including deer, eagles, barred owls, flycatchers, dragonflies and butterflies. I did not like the bright light on the property that we could not turn off as I was there to watch the meteor shower. However, the light was close enough to a tree I was able to wander into the trees shadow to enjoy.

This place is amazing! It is even better in person with tons of space and the creek was significant. We usually travel to various waters but stayed close by because we caught such an abundance of fish. The cabin was cute, comfortable, and fully stocked with all of the necessities. We will definitely be back, and loved the complementary refreshments in the fridge :)
