This was our first stay with a Vrbo. We really liked the unit’s location on the Mississippi River. The deck and patio facing the river were in great condition. The kitchen was spacious and had up to date appliances including dish washer. The beds were very comfortable. Overall condition of unit was excellent. The host( Dave) was most helpful with questions we had about surrounding areas of interest.

Very nice place for a peaceful break from the hustle & bustle of the world. There are lots of places outside to take in the view of the river while lounging comfortably. Would stay again.

This was one of the best VRBO stays we have every experienced. The location was close to everything on both sides of the river but far enough away to feel like a vacation from city life. The house was very comfortable and extremely clean. It had a very well stocked kitchen. The gas grill cooked our Meatheads brats to perfection. The wildlife was so much fun to watch. We were never sure who would be flying, swimming, or walking by the house. The neighbors made us feel like we had known each other for ages. Dave was so engaging with sending info on interesting places to eat and the "just in case" little security items. We will definitely look to book here again on future family visits. Dave, thank you so much for sharing your little slice of heaven with us and our family!!

Great stay on the Mississippi

We were visiting family for a graduation this weekend and decided to rent a VRBO instead of staying in a hotel and it was a great decision. The property is beautiful and Dave was extremely accommodating. We really appreciate the personal touches- caramels, slippers, toilteries. There was enough room for us all to have our own spaces when relaxing without being on top of one another (like in a hotel) and we enjoyed being able to have some meals at the home instead always eating out. Highly recommended!

Marvelous on the Mississippi

We enjoyed our stay at Dave’s place so much! The property was beautiful and immaculate! And the view!!! Who could ask for better than a view of the Mississippi with an eagle’s nest and eagles in the trees every day. Dave was a fantastic host. He was available immediately for any questions that we had. And he also provided us with excellent recommendations for food and activities. We plan to make this an annual trip to the Mississippi for eagle photography and will ONLY stay at this amazing property! Thank you for the wonderful weekend stay.

Bald Eagles, the Mississippi River at sunrise, and all the small town charm of middle America!

10 yr old’s property review… 100 out of 10! Cannot wait to come back and stay again!! This cottage will offer up as much rest and relaxation as desired, along with plenty of activities to enjoy! The host is on the fast-track toward “Super Host” status because they clearly work so hard to welcome guests into their property and assure you have everything you need for a comfortable stay! The property has such great spaces indoors and outdoors. It’s worth mentioning that for non-bird enthusiasts, we were totally enamored and fascinated with the Bald Eagles nesting directly across from the property! So iconic and special!!! Don’t forget to check out all the lovely neighboring communities in the Quad City area for shopping and eating. Cooked mostly on the property but Front Street Pub in Davenport had some excellent bites and such great service. We like to explore new properties and areas in the Midwest but we already looking to rebook this exact property, which will be a first for our family!!! And oh, don’t forget the binoculars at home! Thank you again, David, for all the hospitality and care
