- "Saw this place on hotel.com and thought I’d give it a whirl. It sits in a beautiful small town called Belleview.IA with lots of parks and access to the river and tons of shops and diners just a short walk away. Although the staff is off site they are super friendly, honest and pretty knowledgeable about the area which is great for first time visitors. The property was super clean and offers an amazing view of the Mississippi River and the lock and damn. My only bummer was the property is not in partnership with the property down the hill so you can not walk down the hill and fish off the dock which really sucked when bass where jumping to the surface for food. But all in all 10/10 best place to take a vacation. There are other fishing spots just a short walk or drive away."

WELCOME to THE EMPTY NEST
At emptynestcabin on Instagr for recent guest experiences, tags, pics & videos.

Step back in time to the 1800's and unwind in our unique hand-hewn, square log, historic cabin lovely resurrected on our property for another generation to enjoy. We welcome you to share in the preservation of this unique structure and to experience a little glimpse of a bygone era.

Decompress & refocus your thoughts in our peaceful country setting. Slow down, take a breathe, enjoy a leisurely stroll around the ponds, try your hand at fishing in our stocked ponds, or take the row boat out for a spin or bring your water float and sunbathe.

Be there when your young son, daughter, or grandchild catches their first largemouth bass, bluegill, or catfish. Feed the rainbow trout! You won't be sitting there hoping for a bite while your child grows impatient. The stocked ponds have enough fish that it is unlikely you will be waiting too long for a fish to bite.

Want a little more of an exercise challenge? Take a hike through the restored prairie grass trails filled with wildflowers and native grasses. Take note of the various wildlife you'll likely discover along the way: white-tailed deer, rabbits, possums, raccoons, coyotes, field mice, squirrels, owls, hawks, and eagles. You will also view several varieties of butterflies and colorful song birds that will be dropping into the prairie grasses and flowers that surround the cabin to feed.

Relax and grab a book, enjoy reading outside under the shade tree on the adirondack chairs overlooking the ponds. (It's also our favorite place for morning coffee.)

Take a nap in the shade on our large cotton sleeping hammocks under the cabin deck
Pick some wildflowers to fill the vase in the cabin. Photograph or request we drop off the portable easel to create a watercolor painting of the various wildflowers and butterflies (including Swallowtails and Monarchs) feeding on the wildflowers.

Play Hide' N Seek with the kids. Go for a swim (at your own risk).

Unwind at Sunset. Sit out by the fire pit. maybe make a little something to eat over the coals. S'mores are fun! Let the kids watch or capture the fireflies as they light up through the prairie grass at night.

Nothing like sitting and talking with family and friends around the fire. Pour a glass of wine, a hot cocoa, herbal tea, a bourbon and a cigar and reminisce around the fire.

The nighttime sky, those stars!!!! The moon seems more prominent here! Lay your head back and gaze at the constellations and the moon in the unobstructed view of the sky. Can you find the big and little dippers?

Sweet Dreams!
Leave the windows open and let the little crickets, tree frogs and bullfrogs serenade you to sleep. They are perfectly loud and present during the warm summer months.

Rise and Shine!
Awake to the sounds of songbirds outside your window. Enjoy a sample of some of our fresh roasted upon advanced request Our favorites come from Africa and Central America and we love to share a sample with you as we usually roast a batch weekly for ourselves.

Hungry? Pick and eat our seasonal vegetables and fruits on the property such as black raspberries, blackberries, peaches, apples, plums, & apricots.

Do you like chasing a little white ball across green hills? The very scenic Bellevue Golf Club is just 1 mile down the road!

For boaters/Fisherman, Spruce Creek Harbor and the mighty Mississippi River is less than a 5 minute drive away. Bring your boat to launch for a relaxing river ride.

Like to jog or run? Many like to go for a quick run down the road before breakfast in the morning.

We're excited to share our special little paradise with you and your family! Come stay awhile.
-Sandy & Todd

- "There are many great things we could say about this property, but I don't belive we can fit it all in. Everything from the amenities, the property natural use, the cabin cleanliness (for it being a cabin) to the check in and check out and communication with the host - Everyting was amazing! Our children fished 6-7 hours straight on both of our days we stayed, they had everything we needed to cook for a great outdoor experience. The natural beauty of the property was breath taking and the fire pit at night was clutch for roasting marshmellows and gazing at the stars. It was one of our best cabin trips we have had with our children near to home. We will definitely be back in the future!"

If you love Frank Lloyd Wright you will love this cottage. Taking over 2.5 years to build in a secluded cedar woods, surrounded by bluffs and perched on top of the landscape. The original Frank Lloyd Wright cottage (Seth Petersen) is the inspiration to build this cottage.

When you walk in, you still feel like you're outside. The flying roof with only the glass to hold it up. The original structure was built in 1959, we tried to create the 50's feel with retro appliances and a space age feel (in the bathroom).

Once you're all set we'll provide instructions how to access the key pad with your door code. Or, in other words no need to find us or where the key is hidden, rather punch in your code and wa-la the door unlocks.

We both work, but, we are around in the evenings and weekends. Only five minutes away if you have questions or concerns.

Hello, this is a remote cabin, or cottage in the woods perched on the bluff side overlooking a valley. When you stay, you will start at the bottom of the valley and drive all the way up to the top. This is where the cabin (or cottage) is located. Wildlife, trees, very peaceful as you are quite alone. No neighborhood for many miles.

You must have a automobile. This is a country cottage experience. The closest township is St. Donatus and good 1.5 mile hike.

You'll be over a mile away from the nearest township. Plan on being quite alone. I will recommend to go HyVee in Dubuque on Locust street. Quite a large selection (the flagship store in Dubuque) of food and spirits. Only 12 minutes away.
If winter booking, automobile must have front wheel or all wheel drive.
No climbing on bluffs
No outdoor shoes, bring inside shoes.

- "Absolutely the perfect get-a-way. The property is clean, gorgeous views, and out of the way of everyday life. Close enough to Galena and Dubuque attractions, but we found that we just wanted to jest get back to the property to sit on the patio and and enjoy all it has to offer. We really enjoyed making a fire every night and listening to cows and wild life while watching the night sky. If I could give this property 10 stars I would. Joe and Kelly are amazing hosts with great communication and left us a great bottle of wine and turtles (my wife's favorite) to enjoy. We can't wait to book again in the near future."

Beautiful area. ❤️" - "My family and I had a great stay at Spruce Haven and would gladly stay again!!" - "Wonderful " - "Excellent A+" - "This was a cute little place to stay.

- "The place was clean and our family enjoyed the convenience of walking out our front door and jumping on the riding trails. A variety of good trails to ride. We also enjoyed fishing at the pond. A nice quiet getaway. The owner was great to work with, super nice. Will definitely stay again and recommend!" - "Maquoketa caves state park was on pur bucket list to stay and I wanted a cabin with firepit and bonus if it had a whirlpool tub to soothe our muscles after hiking. This checked all the boxes for us. We especially liked that there were 2 beds...one felt more firm and the other more soft like ours at home. We were entirely comfortable. Would definitely recommend!"

- "This place was exactly what we needed. I loved that I could do laundry as soon as my kids got out of the shower. The pass through window made making dinner a breeze. There’s a cute little grocery store and a family dollar 5-10 minutes away which made getting groceries a breeze. My kids thought the beds were the coolest thing and asked me to do it to their beds when we got home. The yard was huge so we played kickball as a family and had a blast. It was quiet and peaceful. The drive to the caves and the trails wasn’t too bad. Definitely recommend if you’re wanting to see the parks in the area!"

- "This is a very clean, comfortable, and pleasant place to stay. The kitchen is well stocked, and there was soap and shampoo in the showers. The location is wonderful. We loved being able to walk to the grocery store, restaurants, and shops. The deck was great. It was fun to watch the river. The walking/biking path along the river is great. There is a nice state park nearby. Loved it here. Host was friendly and was quick to answer questions. Thank you for sharing your property!"
