There are 5 acres of native grassland boarded by a 40 foot cliff overlooking the mighty Mississippi, giving you a 10 mile unobstructed view of the Iowa shore line. A long quiet country road to stroll that parallels the Mississippi and runs adjacent to the Great River Road. Have a restful quiet vacation in the country as it was!

My second time there, only had a few hours last time and enjoyed it so much I had to go back. Can't wait for the third beautiful historic property with great views
I found this place to go to after losing my mom recently. I have never felt so close to her and to heaven as this. The place was immaculate and very well stocked. It reminds me of home. It was peaceful and the kind of place i want to go back to next year. I absolutely loved my whole time there.
This Farmhouse is my favorite Vrbo stay to date. It was way more than I expected my only regret is we only stayed 3 days. We definitely will come back a stay longer. I caught over 10 catfish in a few hours.
We arrived during a storm and the house was easy to find. The house itself is beautiful and cozy. For a family with toddlers there are a lot of little trinkets we had to move to ensure nothing got broke. The house is very spacious especially with the front room. The fully stocked kitchen was a dream so we didn’t have to pack as much. The view from the backyard is absolutely beautiful. The only thing I wish it had was curtains on the front room windows.
My friends and I stayed at the house for working at the Quad City Nuclear Power Plant. The house was a great farm house with plenty of room and close to the plant for us. We would definitely return next year.
Such a beautiful home on the river! I love watching birds and this home did not disappoint with a perfect grain gazebo set up for my tripod overlooking the river which gave me the best view of a pair of bald eagles nesting there. So many other beautiful birds, woodpeckers, friendly squirrels and cute raccoons that loved the peanuts I had to offer. A peaceful and tranquil stay. I can’t wait to come back!
Came in for a soccer tournament. Perfect place to explore the river front, watch for eagles and enjoy a hit cup of coffee.

The river access via the new stairs was our favorite element! Location is easy to get to and the grounds are amazing. They call it a farmhouse, and it has charm in every room. There's more space than we needed and lots of areas with great natural light to just sit and read or relax. Will stay here every time we're in the area.
This warm, clean and comfortable farmhouse was perfect. I went there for some quiet time and to get some studying and work done. I could not have picked a better place.
It’s right on the Mississippi River and I even saw a bald eagle on my second day there.
Thank you, Steve and Sharon. It was a pleasure staying at your home.
This house is adorable. We had everything we needed. My daughter said her bed wasn't comfortable but other than that we we enjoyed our stay and would recommend and stay again.
Property is exactly as listed. Wife and i wanted a quiet anniversary weekend away from kids and the city. This place is a Country home with modern touches. From the moment we arrived it felt cozy and welcoming. We loved the farm house feel and sitting out on the back patio. My wife loved cooking in well equipped kitchen. The neighborhood was very quiet and we could hear all the birds and squirrels around the house. We spent a lot of time down by the river fishing. Caught a dozen catfish and other kinds as well. Watching the pelicans and birds fly around was neat. Even seen a beaver! The steps leading down to the river are a little tricky and steep and there were some weeds in the way. But it didnt deter us at all. We would not change a thing. We will be looking to bring our kiddos here to enjoy the simple life. Thank you for a lovely 3 day kiddo free quiet retreat.
Wonderful farmstyle house right on the river. House was clean and well furnished/supplied. Property is on bluff with view river and has new set stairs leading down to the water.
This property is an amazing spot for our relaxing weekend. The house is extremely comfortable and clean. The kitchen was great for cooking our meals and stocked with plenty of pans and utensils. The main bedroom is very spacious. I found the bed to be extremely comfortable. We really enjoyed the stairs down to the river. I really hope to come back and stay again very soon.
My wife and I spent last weekend at this charming farmhouse on a small cliff overlooking the Mississippi River. The house was warm and welcoming! The view of the Mississippi River was perfect. In the evening we sipped wine while watching the sunset over the river and in the morning had our coffee while watching bald eagles glide past. We will definitely be returning!
Me and a fellow colleague rented this wonderful Riverview house for 21 days. We were there for work, one of us on nights one of us on days. The host worked with me to get in there for an early check-in and available for any questions I had they had everything there that I needed very very quiet place.
I enjoyed our short stay. It reminded me of my grandparents farm house. It was clean and quiet. Perfect for younger families. There were different levels…just one small step up our down. I would not advise it for elderly.

Farmhouse
Very clean and tidy home. The river was a lot further and really not in view from the home. We were only there for a very short period of time, the $125.00 cleaning fee is pretty high for sleeping in a bed and really not utilizing anything else (we did the dishes).
