May 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### River house stay The house was very comfortable and completely met our needs. It was well stocked and had terrific views of the Mississippi River. The fact that we could have or dogs with us was without a doubt a plus. We would definitely be interested in staying there again. One drawback was the early checkout time. ##### Jennifer M. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie V.

The property was well stocked and met all of our needs. It was a great location and we look forward to staying again. ##### Jamie V. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mackenzie Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication What you see in the pictures is what you get. It's obviously not super modern or up to date but it is a beautiful area and it has everything you need for a quiet getaway. We would definitely stay again and throughly enjoyed the wildlife and beautiful views of the river. It reminded me of going to the deer lease with my dad growing up. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9cc51712-bb90-4848-a80a-276a4762eded-1748839640974.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mackenzie Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi S. Oct 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot for family time! We were here for a weekend stay and my boyfriend is from Clinton. This was the perfect place to have his family stop in and out for coffee, lunch and dinner! We even had a slumber party on Saturday night with his son, daughter in law and grandkids! Such an amazing time at a great location! The river was so peaceful to wake up to. ##### Heidi S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan S. Jul 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Ignore previous bad reviews Pleasantly pleased with everything. So very cute with lots room! Booked this place before reading the reviews. The reviews were negative. So glad the reviews were wrong. Only thing that would make this place more pleasing would be air conditioning upstairs. Difficult to sleep in heat. I should have noticed while reading the advertisement for this place was that it didn’t have air conditioning. Otherwise, very happy. ##### Susan S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jessie A. Mar 17, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cancelled on us at the last minute We were coming in to town for a funeral. Less than 3 hours before check in the booking was cancelled. Just not ideal. I understand if there were issues but please let us know farther ahead. We drove 4 hours in for the funeral and were already in town. Also, communication was incredibly difficult as it was not routed to the host but through some third party intermediary called Evolve. I tried both calling and texting the host the evening before to confirm details. No response until Evolve called to cancel the entire listing a few hours before check in.I cannot verify the property details, location, or cleanliness as the booking was cancelled at the last minute. Please disregard those ratings. The communication, check in, and overall rating stand. ##### Jessie A. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily B.

Apr 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quad Cities outage stay Check in process was easy, great location right on the river! Near Clinton, IA for ease of shopping, dining...etc. I recommend this house! ##### James W. Stayed 20 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Victoria K. Oct 20, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### False advertising, deplorable conditions, horrible. It took me a while to do this because it was traumatic. There was no first floor bedroom as advertised. The house was damp and musty. The bedding wasn't clean. We had to carry my 92 year old mother up and down the flight of 16 stairs. It was a fire hazard because there was only one exit on the main floor and the sliding doors on the second floor along with the balcony were not safe. There was a plastic tablecloth or something covering one of the beds with sheets that had no elastic. There were no curtains or blinds for privacy or to provide shade. I reached out to the number provided on the fridge and never got a reply. I would expect some type of compensation or refund. It was awful and your company should be ashamed to have them in your listing. ##### Victoria K. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen L. Oct 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Amazing location tucked in your own world. The location on the river was amazing. The house was well equipped for guests and had a great layout for hanging out. We had a daily woodpecker visitor that really wanted to join us knocking on the windows. The house could use some work, a couple outlets we went to use did not work on main floor and upper master room, and one lamp had no light bulb. The upper sliding doors were difficult to open and close. But overall a nice stay. ##### Karen L. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michelle J. Sep 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Maintenance needs to be done before renting This could be an awesome place to stay, the location is amazing, the space is huge, so much effort put in to cleaning, however for safety reasons repairs do me to be made. The upper deck from the bedrooms is completely unsafe and should NOT have people on. While we stayed, one afternoon into evening there was some major rain and the ceiling inside the enclosed porch area leaked to the point of some of the ceiling tiles collapsing onto the the floor. Making the entire space unusable. Clearly there is and has been water damage in the past and the presence of black mold is strong. All of us had sinus issues and my husband is allergic to it and ended up sick for a few days after. He is also a carpenter so our assessment comes from knowledge. ##### Michelle J.
