It is located just 4 miles from the Mississippi River. This property features 3 separate buildings that can be rented for everyone to enjoy together while allowing for ample spacing.

An excellent property and very friendly/helpful hosts who went out of their way to make our stay the best it could be. The fire pit area was wonderful and relaxing. Would not hesitate to stay there again.
This was a perfect place for our family Fall trip! It was peaceful and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. So many things to do in Lansing and surrounding towns. I highly recommend.
We stayed at Jane and John’s place for my parents 50th. We really enjoyed the house! Plenty of room for our group of 11. Owners were very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. Would highly recommend to bigger groups wanting to explore the Mississippi River and surrounding area!!
Beautiful relaxing property. Clean and plenty of space. Owner was quick to respond and was really friendly. Had great suggestions for fishing spots. Definitely would stay here again.
I want to thank Jane & John for hosting my friends and family. This place is spacious, clean, and warming. The scenery is awesome as well. The check in to the check out process was smooth. Everything was accommodated well and Jane is responsive! I recommend this place to anyone who is staying in the area with a bigger party.
If you are looking for a family get away or a place to meet up with friends for the weekend, this is the place! The owners were so accommodating to everyone and they were so easy to get ahold of! The house had everything you'd possibly need and the fire pit was AMAZING! We couldn't recommend this place enough. Such an amazing experience!!!
This was a great place for us to have our cousins weekend! The cottage was a great size for our group, we had plenty of room. Definitely could host a large family or friends weekend. We enjoyed the dry creek bed and the surrounding paths. Only thing I wpuld suggest is a step stool for us short people. Highly recommend a stay!
Everything was exactly as described. Beautiful house and beautiful views. If there were 100 stars for communication with the owner, Jane would get 100 everytime. We would definitely stay again. Alreadplann
Had a great Christmas away from home. A place to drag all the kids and their spouses away from everything else going on around the holidays. The place is large, lots of room to spread out, large kitchen for bigger groups. The bed I slept in was pretty comfortable and overall a comfortable place. Kitchen was very well appointed, probably more than most places we've stayed. Only 7 minutes from downtown Lansing so easy to pop over and grab dinner, drinks or groceries. We took the ferry across to Wisconsin to see the activities happening on the river.
Really liked this place and property. Plenty of beds for everyone and well equipped kitchen. Clean and lots of bedding and blankets. Only small challenge was a slow dishwasher and the request to have all dishes clean dry and put away before checkout. Would prefer to start a dishwasher load just before checking out.
We had a group of 10 adults and 1 teenager and it was the perfect house for our gathering. The house is 3 floors with plenty of beds and rooms for all of us. There was an area on the third floor for the young adults to play games. The house was spotless and had everything we could need. I would highly recommend this house for large family gatherings.
We had a little backyard family get-together/small wedding and the cabin was perfect! Large enough to hold our family plus some more family who rented out the small cabin on the property and a camper! We had enough room to put a tent up for our reception and plenty of room for parking! We will definitely being coming back, we couldn't of asked for a better place or better owners, Jane and her husband are lovely people and so easy to get along with and who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could of possibly needed. Honestly, I still can't get over how perfect this weekend was!
My group of friends began camping together 30 years ago and this was our first rental property Labor Day weekend. The house is beautiful and very well laid out, with kitchen and gather spaces down stairs. The two teens loved the game room. Fire pit area was well stocked with wood and is large enough for group gathering. Short trails on the property lead from the house and cabin to the fire pit and are well maintained. It was a HOT weekend and we didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful deck but hope to on another stay.
