River Tranquilty
What a peaceful, tranquil setting on the Shell Rock River. We had a family gathering - 3 brothers and their wives - near where we fished with our Dad and Grandfather 60 to 65 years ago and spent the week sharing positive memories! Thank you for sharing the River House with us.

It was great midway point to meet up with Family. Weather did not cooperate us, but we had a beautiful time anyways. Between the hot tub and playing family games into the late night we had great time. Very spacious comfortable furniture ! (trust me I have rented some Vrbo with cheap furniture) But not here. Owner very easy to work with.

Great get away
Our extended family wanted to try something new this summer after always driving north from Minneapolis to vacation. This cabin was a great alternative and more than met our expectations. The house was large enough to comfortably fit our whole family and the outside area overlooking the river was ideal. Kitchen was well supplied to cook. Plenty of places to be in or out of the sun, play some games and enjoy each other’s company. There is a small town nearby where we picked up some groceries, visited a pottery shop, played pickle ball, and golfed on a small but nicely kept 9 hole course. The river is shallow but there was a variety of fish caught and we swam at the sand bar just a little bit away from the house. The river is shallow, so swimming right in front of the cabin was not a choice but the sand bar picture in the listing was fun. Great communication with owner and obviously a lot of care put into this beautiful cabin. Great vacation. Still can’t get the picture of the sunset over the river out of my mind.

Great retreat
We had three couples and two children under 6. We enjoyed fishing (caught 5 different kinds of fish, and some big ones!!), cooking, chilling in the house, and relaxing in the hot tub. You can log into subscription services on the TVs, and the kitchen had all we needed. The river is beautiful!! Fair warning: the beach is rocks and mud and the water smells a little fishy. It worked for us, and the boys had so much fun, but if you're expecting white sand, you might be disappointed. There's a nearby park where you can dig for fossils, and I recommend the funnel cake fries at TJs Bar. Very beautiful home, great views of nature. Overall it's a great place to get away and relax!!

Imperfect Retreat
The setting is beautiful, is in a quiet setting, has a gorgeous view and the house is nice and very spacious. However, be aware that the property was not cleaned prior to our arrival. There was no air conditioning, but we were not informed. There’s someone living in an apartment above the garage with no lock off.

Great for relaxation along with peace and quiet
This is a wonderful property and location! We enjoyed the peace and quiet as we drank our coffee every morning while looking at the river. Plenty of room for the 6 adults that we had for our trip. Home is beautiful! Spent the week and enjoyed using the grill and relaxing. Appreciate that bed linens and towels are provided. The West Forty Market in Greene is perfect to grab the groceries and supplies you need and the Coffee Baa is an excellent choice for drinks, pastries, and lunch. It would be helpful if there was a checklist of things that should be done before leaving. We weren't sure where to put trash or if we needed to remove bedding. Family room is large and a bigger tv would be helpful in there. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back!!

The view was amazing from every direction!… super easy to find and get to! So much to do for all ages and all right outside the patio door!! It was a perfect family mini vacay!! Thanks so much John and family, we’ll be back!!

Our First VRBO and very pleased.
We were so excited to stay at this property. The scenery was gorgeous either outside on the sand beach, or on the large patio with grill and fire pit or from inside looking through the gigantic windows! Everything was large and unique. More kitchen appliances than expected, master bed was terrific, two dining rooms with tables and chairs for staging area or guests and gorgeous living room views. TVs in all the rooms. Our adult kids loved it. Attention to detail to make our stay easy and enjoyable. Thank you.

Beautiful house and has beautiful views!
We stayed at Aqua Log Cabin for a family of 7 get together. It’s a Beautiful house and has beautiful views! We stayed in the main part of the house, with access to four bedrooms. 2 of the bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom, but with only a tub, not a shower. The master does have a shower as well as the other king bedroom. The beds were VERY comfortable and the towels fluffy soft. Had a couple issues with amenities, but the owner was very prompt in addressing them. We had a few suggestions for improvement. And we did learn what ‘catered’ amenities are … Loved the fireplace and also the firepit, as the weather was not the best. There is an additional section which will open soon. [ The other side of the house leads you down to the ground floor again, where you can access another beautifully furnished en-suite room that is fully tiled and has a large steam shower.] Definitely would go back again!!
