Must Stay- Gorgeous Secluded Log Cabin! (15 min from downtown)

ARTSY. GRAND. SECLUDED. And only 15 to downtown Iowa City. Nature inspired touches adorn this bright and airy log cabin. It is a place to slow down and indulge in nature, drink a glass of wine (or two), and let yourself disconnect and wander. With soaring ceilings, in-home surround sound and hand carved craftsmanship, we have designed the space for family and friends, creative retreats or BIG10 game weekends. There are 2 large living spaces and 2 kitchens for group gatherings or tiny nooks with cozy seating for quiet alone time. Enjoy our gardens and koi pond in the spring, grilling on the porch and Coralville Lake in the summer (only 1 mile away), wooded hiking trails only steps away from the cabin in the fall, and watch the snow fall while snuggled up on our luxurious velvet couch in the winter!

LOCATION:
Conveniently nestled between Iowa City and North Liberty. Our whimsical lodge sits 3 miles off of I-80, only 7 miles (15 minutes) to downtown Iowa City and Kinnick Stadium, 1 mile to Coralville Lake and hiking trails, 4 miles to North Liberty all while enjoying the privacy and tranquility of being tucked amongst the trees.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:
Guests have full access to the cabin and all its amenities and surrounding 1.8 acres. The door has a digital lock to make your stay easy and keyless. There is a camera on the Doorbell that faces away from the house. Light breakfast is included in your stay, please specify if you have any food allergies or preferences when booking. We enjoy hosting and if you wish for us to pop by and say hi we would be more than happy, just say the word!
