we enjoyed the peace and quite. We only saw a few boaters go by. We walked in and everything was clean and friendly. The home is close to the caves park and close to the quad cities. Bring plenty of bug spray so you can enjoy the campfire roasting marshmellows.

Beautiful

This was our second stay at this cabin. It is a beautiful setting. The accommodations are comfortable, and all eight people had a bed to sleep in—no couch or hide-a-bed necessary!

We’ll be back

This was our third time to the property and it did not disappoint. The cabin itself is fantastic and fully stoked, and the land is wonderful to explore! Definite recommendation if you’re looking for a quiet, secluded area on the river!

Great 4th of July

Stayed a week for July 4th with family. We had a great time. The cabin was clean & the yard was huge. So close to town, but felt a million miles from civilization. The river was high, but still caught some nice channel cats!!

Girls trip

Wonderful place to meet friends. Private spot on the river! Quick drive to hiking, caves, and wineries. Decor in line with “hunting cabin.” Bring extra drinking water if you’re not used to high mineral well water.

Beautiful relaxing cabin on the Wapsi River

We came to Iowa for a celebration of life for my husband’s father. Pulled up to the location and we were both struck by the beauty of this spot where the river bends. We had to stay a couple of extra days to finish up some remodeling and wait out a snowstorm in Iowa and extending our stay was seamless! We highly recommend the Ritz on the River!

Secluded and Quiet

The cabin is in a very remote area, just as we had hoped. We loved the peace and quiet of the area. So cool to drive between corn fields to the property. The cabin was neat, clean and was stocked very well. We purchased river rafts and took advantage of an hour and 20 minute float from the cabin to Allen’s Grove.

Exactly what we hoped for!

Very private place to unplug and unwind. We stayed at the cabin the first week of August 2022 it was very clean and felt like home. Our kids were happy to have internet access and Dish Network. We loved all the trails, the pond out back and we also had fun fishing the river. It was nice to be able to bring our dogs, they had a great time too! We definitely will stay again

Fishing trip

We enjoyed the tranquility of the area. We did accomplish what we went for. Fishing. The water could have been a little lower and slower flow for better fishing conditions. But we still caught some nice fish.

Perfect getaway

So glad we found this property to stay at for our family vacation. The scenery was beautiful - it was so lovely being right on the river and the cabin is very secluded and private so it was very peaceful and quiet. The cabin itself is very comfortable with great amenities, plenty of space for all of us, and the cable/satellite was a bonus so we could still watch football games over the weekend! The fire pit was really nice and big and we were able to enjoy sitting around it every day. We are so happy we discovered this property, my family had the BEST time and we plan to make this a yearly family trip!
