Our kids loved the game room, hot tub was great, minus the bugs that were horrible. Citronella candles or bug deterrent of some sort would be a good addition for the back yard. The property was immaculate and functional. We had everything we needed and will definitely be back.

Everything was exactly like the pictures. Its very well stocked in the kitchen. We loved the game room and since it was in the 90's every day we played a lot of games. The air conditioning was wonderful as well. We enjoyed the hot tub, Even had a frog join us one evening. Its an easy run into Guttenberg where they have a very nice swimming pool. Its close to several nice parks. We enjoyed some good hikes. Also saw several towboats on the Mississippi. All in all a great week for our annual 3 generation trip. Thanks!

Hidden Gem

This ‘shouse’ is a hidden gem in the Guttenberg, Iowa area. It feels and smells like new construction, is beautifully decorated, well stocked, exceptionally clean, and has an amazing view. Our group of 10 adults stayed two nights and wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all the amenities! The only downside for our large group is it has only two bathrooms for as many people as it sleeps. However, we made it work for two nights. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space!

The home is spacious and secluded. The hosts thought of everything: soft sheets, extra blankets and pillows, and lots of plush towels. Lots of indoor games and outdoor equipment. Even small toys for the little kids.
