About this property

Peaceful Cabin located in beautiful Des Moines River valley

Cabin sits on almost 2 acres right across from the Des Moines river , boat ramp just 1/4 mile away . Home has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing get away in the woods . Cabin is log and knotty pine inside . This cabin was built by my father in 2003 as his retirement home . We welcome well trained dogs , there is no fenced yard and lots of timber all around so we recommend keeping on leash as there are lots of deer crossing thru property daily . Boone is just a 10 min drive , Ogden 15 min . Don Williams recreation is also just 5 min drive . Come relax , rewind and just enjoy the peace and quiet of the country .

This is our third stay here, and it’s quickly become one of our favorite places to get away! We absolutely love the peace and quiet out in the country - you really feel like you’ve escaped the “real world” for a while. We love the location as a springboard to small-town Iowa and some of the best bike riding trails we’ve found.Heather is an awesome host, and we really appreciated the personal touches she added for our visit. We will definitely be back again!

Perfect getaway for a work retreat! Really, really comfy and clean. More than I expected! Only downfall was I didn't have cell service (Verizon) and that made me a little wary, being in the middle of nowhere. Internet was perfect. Overall, it was great!

4th of July Get away

This was our 2nd stay at the cabin. It was wonderful once again. Our only complaint, which is not anything against the cabin, but we had gone here hoping to escape the fireworks with our English Goldens who have a hard time with the noise. Unfortunately there were a lot of fireworks, close by all three nights we stayed.

Always a fun getaway

We LOVE this cabin! It is always so clean and stocked with coffee. :) And treats for your dog. Never could tell there’s been an animal in there it doesn’t smell like it. The property itself is so beautiful and right by the lake for fishing. We look forward to this every year! Thank you!
