About this property
The House of the River !!!!!
You will love this amazing home right on the great Mississippi River and in beautiful Harpers Ferry, Iowa.
The mighty Mississippi , beautiful Effigy Mounds, and Yellow River State Forest all in your backyard. A pool table greets you in the living room, a large kitchen, and the prettiest views around. Ducks, geese, birds are some of the wildlife you will see with a view from every window in the cabin. Drop in your fishing line, pick up that good book, and just relax........
Winter is just as beautiful. See lots of ducks, geese, and deer right here along the river. We have a great telescope for watching Eagles coming and so much more.
If you are unsure of your plans or dates you can choose the very affordable "Trip Protection" when you are booking your nights in order to receive a full refund for any reason that may come up.
