With my job, I usually end up in places that I would never usually seek out...like Iowa. Even still, there is beauty to be found. #takeahike

9.8/10 Exceptional! (177 reviews)
Perfect little spot for our annual 4 person “bro” ski trip. The only negative thing is the water filter and pitcher had mold in it. Lucky I noticed it before anyone drank out of it! I attempted to clean it out but I don’t trust it for use anymore and it prob just needs thrown away.

We have stayed at several similar places in Eagle Ridge and this was the cleanest one we have ever seen. Wonderfully quiet, a perfect place to recharge the batteries and get away from it all.

Nice community. Very close to Maquoketa Caves state park which is great!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Seems like a town that has potential but nobody really strives to fulfill the needs. Kind of just a laid-back town the outside of the hotel with cigarette butts all over campers parked in the parking lot that you could tell were there more than just
