We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin in the woods!The kitchen was well stocked and communication was great. We didnt spend time outside but can only imagine how nice it would be in the summer! There are quite a few steps in the cabin but that was not a big problem for our group.

2 weeks vacation, close, but far enough away.

Nice property nestled in a semi secluded setting with local conveniences close by. We saw lots of nature and enjoyed relaxing. If you like the water, this area is the place to be.

What a unique property. The different floor levels told its own story and feel to it. Never made it down to the water, but the open yard in the back was perfect for the dogs to play. Great for a larger family. Thanks for the memories.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Martin

Host profile image
I grew up in Iowa near here and enjoyed the family picnics at the state park. My extended family is still in the area! We now live in downtown Chicago, and this retreat is a great escape from our hectic lives.

Why they chose this property

My family has been enjoying Lake MacBride since it first opened. My grandmother told me about her experiences growing up and enjoying the lake so she made sure to bring her children. My mother has great stories of Lake MacBride and the Coralville Reservoir and she made sure to bring me and my brothers! Now a fourth generation, my own daughters, are growing up with peace and tranquility because of this fabulous property.

What makes this property unique

We are next to cross-country ski and snowmobile trails!
