Relax Amidst Nature On Clear Creek

Clear Creek Cabin is located in the scenic Driftless Area of Northeast Iowa.

As you walk out the doors of the secluded cabin you will find a spring-fed, one acre pond. Complete with bluegill, bass and catfish. There is also 70 feet of white sand beach. Hike 100 yards and you will find 3.2 miles of the Clear Creek trout stream. If you enjoy hiking or hunting, the cabin is adjacent to 800 acres of public hunting land.

For cyclists, The Mississippi River Trail is nearby. More fishing is also located in the Upper Iowa and Mississippi Rivers. And there are many area golf courses and snowmobile trails. Scenic beauty abounds!

And that is just the outdoors.

Clear Creek Cabin boasts 2,700 sq ft of cozy hardwood excellence. The rustic good looks of the original cabin that was built in 1873 (with another log frame addition in 1885 and a modern addition in 2000) is combined with all the modern amenities you would want.

Start your relaxing stay with a full, restful night of sleep in one of the 5 bedrooms. Choose from a king pillow top, queen, full or one of four twin XL beds or twin bunk bed. There is a plush-top futon in the balcony/den and another in an upstairs bedroom. There is even a crib for your infant.

A modern heat and air conditioning system will keep you at the right temperature as you wake up. Next you may find a hot shower or a soak in the tub is in order. Choose from one of the three full baths; one with a shower, one with a shower/tub and another with a shower/tub. Don't forget to drop your bath towel in the towel warmer so it is ready when you get out!

The smell of a hot cup of coffee or tea (or maybe even a "lumberjack" breakfast) are easily in the realm of possibilities for the full kitchen. It has all of the large and small appliances you will need during your stay. There is a full set or dishes and utensils and even a charcoal grill on the flagstone patio outside the back door.

Enjoy your meals on the porch or at the picnic table overlooking the pond or in the large dining room. With seating for 10 at the reclaimed lumber (that my Great-Grandfather milled many years ago) dining room table, there is sure to be ample space for all.

Relax in the living room with reclining seating for 10 guests. This room has a 55 inch SMART TV, DVD and VHS players, and a console with connection to all your favorites on Netflix or YouTube. You may also enjoy complimentary high speed, fiber optic Wi-Fi for your mobile devices and Wi-Fi enabled phone calls. Or you could follow the kids upstairs to play with the various toys including the 3 foot tall doll house.

This property has something for everyone. Now, go explore!

A Wow Weekend
We Loved our family get together at Clear Creek Cabin. The grounds were beautiful all nestled in the hills. Oppertunities to hike and explore. Evenings by a campfire and sharing family time and playing outdoor games. Inside the home was large and beautiful with the original cabin connected to a newer build. We spent many hours at the large table eating meals and playing board games. Enough bedrooms and space along with 3 bathrooms to make us all comfortable. The kitchen was nicely stocked with all the supplies we needed. We had a mild winter to enjoy this location and would stay here again. The owners were wonderful with their comunication and to work with.

Lovely property tucked in a quiet valley. We had a beautiful fall weekend at this cabin with friends. The cabin is large and was very accommodating. It is also well supplied and equipped. Ryan is great to work with.

Gorgeous property!
We brought our extended family here as a gift to my in-laws, and it did not disappoint. There was more than enough room for 14 people, and having three nice bathrooms was great. This place is remote enough to truly get away from it all but close enough to towns to do things (like shop or tube the river).

Serenity
The log cabin and number of beds are attractive. The serene nature of the pond with a sugar sand beach is the greatest attraction. Swimming, paddle boat, fishing are all part of the great experience.

From booking through the end of the trip, we had great communication with our host. The kids enjoyed the water, whether swimming, fishing, or kayaking. The adults relaxed and took advantage of the nearby trails.
