Bayside Hideaway on the River

Wake up to tranquility and wildlife at this bayside location on the Mississippi River. Uniquely perched at the water’s edge, the fresh bright interior design provides modern comfort and stunning views of the private bay and river through expansive windows. If you are looking for a quiet respite and a change of scene, this cozy gem shuts out the noisy world and allows nature to remind you of the sights and sounds of serenity.

Special Note: A few neighboring homes have friendly dogs that occasionally wander through the area, including our property. While they are not aggressive, they may bark or stop by to say hello.

We provide their names so guests can greet them or kindly direct them home. If needed, we’re happy to contact the neighbors to have the dogs called back.

Please note: while we’ll do our best to minimize their presence if requested, we cannot guarantee a completely dog-free outdoor environment, as this is part of the local culture.

There will be no dogs indoors, except for registered service animals accompanying guests.
