- "My siblings and i rented this place for annual gathering. My brother and his wife as well as one of my sisters arrived early at the property and Christal happened to be there staying in the other side of the house and she let them in early. She is extremely nice and helpful. They do not expect you to fo a lot of things before checking out. We did do the usual garbage and start dishwasher. A couple closet doors came off the track or something and they told us not to worry about it and they would have them fixed. Beautiful house with everything you need, I mean everything. All the rooms in the house are very large and spacious. Nice park down the street and boating ramps and fishing area. They have a lot of turtle crossing signs which was cool. Near a lot state parks and beautiful countryside. Town is very small with minimal for groceries but there is a walmart 20 miles away in another town but that is the only downside. Townspeople were very friendly too. The cost is at our top price, but we will rent here again!"

- "We had a blast. Verizon worked if you're connected to the wifi. But this property sits in the bluffs and is perfect for a get away. Trout stream runs right through the property and the added space for sleeping next to the main cabin was great. The town of Waterville is close and they had good food and cold drinks. We were looking forward to the hot tub but it wasn't quite as warm as we had hoped but it worked properly. The only downfall I would say is the amount of wasps on the property but being that it's in the middle of nowhere can't really hold anyone at fault so bring wasp spray. I would give this 10 out of 10 and look forward to staying here again."

Unwind and relax at the cabin with family and friends. Great view, nature watching, close to hiking trails, Yellow River Forest, Effigy Mounds, antiques, fishing, day trips to Decorah or Prairie du Chien. Great deck for relaxing at the end of the day!
- "Had a great time with family and friends" - "We had a wonderful experience staying in this well-stocked cabin. The rear deck was enormous and the view was beautiful overlooking a small pond at the bottom of a valley. At night we enjoyed sitting around the fire with the endless supply of firewood. Kindling pieces were a little tough to find, so we used lighter fluid to start the fire instead of kindling. The location was perfect. Set outside of town, but just 20 minutes to Prairie du Chien, WI, where there's plenty of stores and restaurants. Also very close to excellent recreational areas such as Effigy Mounds National Monument and Pikes Peak State Park. The cabin has 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, and 1 powder room on the main floor with 4 bedrooms and 1 full bath on the second floor. The rooms were perfectly setup for a large, extended family or multiple families to share. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would highly recommend staying at this luxurious and relaxing cabin."
