This property is located along the bank of the Mississippi River. The river poses safety issues and should be respected. Life jackets are required on the dock for children under the age of 12. The bank of the river consists of loose rocks that will slide and should not be climbed on.

There are active railroad tracks 25’ from the home. Please stay off the tracks. If you hear a train horn, be sure to check that no kids, people, vehicles, or other items are near the tracks.

Parking is limited to 3 vehicles. Please park on the gravel road as close to the building as possible to allow other vehicles to pass.

The neighboring property is currently under construction. Construction noise has not been an issue and is typically not active during the weekends or evenings. The crews will certainly respect the guest of this property.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was VERY clean and had everything you’d need and more! Who doesn’t leave for a getaway and forget something small and this place had all the little things. It was peaceful and while there are train tracks they didn’t bother us. The screened porch was so wonderful and our favorite feature!

Nice river views
It was a lovely stay overall. The house is comfortable and well stocked. Lovely view of the moon and the sunrise over the river. I was a little unprepared for the number of trains coming through, but they were interesting to watch.

Our second time staying at this property. Enjoyed our stay. Good way the enjoy the Mississippi River. The kids love fishing off the dock! For a small cabin, the space is very well utilized. We especially like the screened-in porch.
