The deck that extends along the length of the home is a perfect perch for watching the prolific bird and waterfowl life and the barge traffic that regularly passes by. The gas grill is ideal for cooking out as you enjoy the view. The beds are comfy and the kitchen well stocked. Our host, Mitch, was a great communicator and always a step ahead of us.

- "Main floor of cabin had a weird tilt towards the kitchen, but we adapted. There were spoons and knives, but no forks. And no soap for the shower. But sitting on the porch at sunset overlooking the river was beautiful. And the cabin was roomy and beds were comfortable. Gas grill needs serious cleaning. "

Other things to note

Between the Mississippi River and the Bluffs of the Driftless Region, Savanna was named #1 “Best Small Town for Adventure” by USA Today in 2021, 2022 AND 2023!

Down a private lane, nestled amidst 5 acres of woods, you'll find 3 Cabins available to rent. The Property & Cabins have undergone New Ownership and extensive remodeling, with brand new furnishings, appliances, & decorations.

While located in a country setting, you are still close to Downtown Savanna, Mississippi River, & Palisades State Park. This is a perfect retreat for a blend of tranquility and rustic charm.
