Relax on the River and Enjoy Southeast Iowa's Beauty

This cabin is nestled by the bridge across the river from Pittsburgh, Iowa, just a few miles west of Keosauqua on a paved road. Accommodations not only include the cabin, but also 1.5 acres of flat, riverfront land to play, relax and enjoy nature. A screened porch with seating overlooks the Des Moines river. The river view from this cabin is amazing.

The main/master bedroom has a full-sized bed, while the remaining loft area is furnished with two full-sized beds, comfortable for sleeping six people. The cozy living room is furnished with a reclining love seat and TV/DVD player and DISH Network! The kitchen is equipped with a full refrigerator and stove and a full table/benches for plenty of seating. Guests can enjoy an afternoon of fishing, sitting by the fire pit, or just relaxing while the sun goes down over the river.

The amazing wildlife along the river is absolutely beautiful. If you enjoy the outdoors, hunting, fishing and nature, this is the cabin for you!

Note: cell phone reception is spotting at the cabin, but better in town. There IS WiFi and DISH Network. You can unwind and relax with some amenities. Also the driveway is steeper. During winter months all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive is best!

Loved it

Awesome little cabin for long weekend away, but still big enough for our family of 6. Kids loved being able to walk out the door and fish the river. We really enjoyed the screened in porch. Hostess was great to work with and super responsive, everything we needed was provided. Would definitely stay again!

Great location and views

We loved our stay here! We had 2 couples and 3 larger dogs - we had just the right amount of room! A large area for the dogs to run and a good amount of fishing spots right on the bank. Beds were comfy - good size fire pit with plenty of wood!

Our family of 4 plus dog enjoyed our stay. The cabin was cozy and clean. Beds were comfortable with plenty of linens provided. The view of the river was beautiful to wake up to and proximity to all the villages of Van Buren was great as we were there for Fall festival. A great getaway for us. Thanks!

Chill-cation

We love this property and have been 3 years in a row. We mostly just hang out outside by the river and fire and relax. We have also dined in town, shopped at the local stores and hiked at Lacey-Keosaqua park. We'll be back next year!

Several things wrong

We were unable to flush toilet paper; therefore we all tried to not have bm's. The showerhead was totally loose. Bedbugs were found in the downstairs area. For the cost, it was disappointing. However we did love the outside area and the screened in porch

It was a delightful getaway retreat. The host was very responsive and friendly. The rainy weather didn’t really allow for use of the fire pit, but the screened porch was a great place to watch the river and relax.

Wonderful place!

My group of 3 stay during the second season of the gun season. Kellie has been wonderful. Very accommodating and communicative. Great place for us to relax after a long day in the woods. We are pretty easy going guys, but we know if we need assistance, Kellie will be there. Highly recommend!
