Cabin in the woods

Sturdy cabin on the lake. All the modern conveniences. Very clean and comfortable. Wonderful for the kids and our German Shepherd was permitted. The cabin was very thoughtfully decorated and was very quaint. Nice deck for relaxing. The beds could use an upgrade of mattresses. Overall excellent place.

A Wonderful Place for a Getaway

This cabin was a fun weekend getaway, close to McBride hiking trails and has its own water front access for kayaking. It was really quiet and secluded. We will stay there again!

Over all great except the hot water quit working on day two.

Peaceful Stay

Beautiful property and wonderful accommodations! The property owner was easy to communicate with and very accommodating for our change in number of guests staying. A stone’s throw from Lake MacBride state park, there are hiking trails, beaches and fishing areas close by. Kayaks available on the property to drop into the lake, a deck to enjoy early morning coffee and chatting, and a fire ring out back for the quiet evenings. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out, and we had a great time! The private trail to the beach was unusable due to the rain, but trail heads nearby led to a beach, so we didn’t miss out! A lovely week outdoors at a beautiful cabin!

Peaceful Getaway

My family had a different reason for seeking peace on our trip to the area. We were in town for a family funeral, and this little piece of heaven was exactly what we needed. The cabin was very welcoming, had what we needed, and had the peace that was very welcomed during this difficult time. We were close to events and family in Solon, but had a quiet, peaceful place to let down. The lake was a short walk from the property, with a convenient trail for walking, running, and enjoying nature.

Our stay

We loved the accommodations! The only issue was we thought the walking path would take us to Lake McBride, not the Coralville Reservoir. Not a biggie, as we had a trailer for our kayaks & we just drove to McBride.

Great location

Had a great weekend with family enjoying the natural surroundings. Only complaint would be the beds, they were not comfortable and no one really got a good night sleep because of it. Other than that it was well stocked with everything we could possibly need.

Great stay at the cabin.

We had a great time in Iowa. Staying at this cabin was a joy. We are thankful the owners took our last minute reservation. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else. This is a beautiful property filled with wildlife and scenic views. This cabin was very comfortable for sleeping and hanging out. It had everything that we needed. Even thought it was just my husband and I visiting this time, this cabin is the perfect spot for a larger family or group. There is tons of space. We highly recommend staying here. We hope to get back here again soon!

Great cabin

My friends and I rented this cabin over MLK weekend. We had planned to do this last year but had to cancel due to covid. The owner was super helpful in getting us rescheduled and finally this year we got together! The cabin is great with plenty of room for even a bunch of adults. I’ve rented this place several times and will continue to do so.
