A Happy Little Cottage
We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay here. Janae is so kind and made our stay comfortable and easy. Location was stellar and the cottage was clean and homey. We’ll definitely return!

So Relaxing
Wonderful location with a spectacular screened in porch. Both mornings sat out there with my coffee and watched the sun rise over the Mississippi River while listening to a chorus of bird songs. Perfection!

Location is everything
Yes! You can see the Mississippi River from this property. And YES this property is adorable. It truly is like stepping back in time to the mid-twentieth century & it is neat as a pin. However, the way that this property was situated-- overlooking a busy parking lot next to the boat launch & public restrooms -- was not what we expected. Still, we enjoyed our stay.

This was a cute little place to stay. Was really nice to have all the necessities there. The screen room was my favorite. We also enjoyed the location since the river is right there. The train is very loud sometimes and runs often. Needs a few updates such as toilet guts/handle and some extra curtains throughout the home but overall was a great stop. Very beautiful location.

This was a super clean and cozy cottage and we enjoyed our stay very much! The host made sure the home was equipped with anything we could have needed. She happened to be at the cottage upon our arrival so it was great to meet her and get a quick run down of the property. The screen porch and fire pit where we spent a great deal of time! A perfect place to relax, catch up and connect!!
