We had a great night away in the tiny house. A couple of tight fits if you’re over 6 feet tall, but if you don’t see that coming with a tiny home, well, that’s on you. Great experience!

Quaint and Cozy
The listing was fairly accurate. The home is super cute and in an easy to find location. One thing I did not care for was the lack of curtains, and the portable fans were not charged so it was a bit warm in the lofts. The hot tub was nice and private. It was a very relaxing stay for my husband and I on our anniversary.

Great lil getaway
We had a spring break getaway and we needed to disconnect. Having no cell service was the perfect answer! A great little tiny space. Hot tub was hot. The view was gorgeous. We will definitely be booking again!

Cozy stay in the tiny house
It was great! The listing was accurate and we expected the house next door but it was still a very private stay. We didn’t have service when we got there to open the Vrbo app to get the passcode to get inside, so we had to backtrack until we got service. Otherwise everything was great! Would recommend!

Luckily we read the reviews before we arrived so we were aware of there being another place next door. That being said it still felt private and the views were gorgeous. Sitting in the hot tub looking at the night sky was a highlight for sure!

Quiet and restful. A great spot that was close enough to Decorah for dinner and shopping but far enough away that it was so peaceful. Great communication with owner!

Did a weekend away for our anniversary. Was great to Have breakfast on the deck, fire at night all in the setting of the river bank. The kitchen was great to make breakfast and a morning cup of coffee. We throughly enjoyed the screen door to enjoy the fresh air while we watched a movie in the living room area. Easy to get to and we’ll stocked with plenty of towels and pans do cook with.

Anniversary relaxed and adventure stay
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. We always wanted to try a tiny home, and loved it inside and out. Being right by the river was serene, with abundant wildlife, especially birds of prey. My only early hesitation was that in the pictures you didn’t think there was another residence next door, however after staying it was a none issue and still felt like it was private enough. There is a canoe/kayak rental nearby that was a huge plus for us! Rest and adventure all in one! Thank you 😊

Lovely getaway
Adorable tiny home right on the river. We enjoyed the hot tub and having a fire every night. Tiny home was clean and as advertised. Loved watching the wildlife. Lots of bunnies, deer, and heard owls and coyotes. Saw and heard many fish jumping in the river too. It's not the most secluded spot so to another rental nextdoor and the campground down the road but we still had plenty of privacy. So relaxing!

Lovely tiny house, there was another cabin on the same lot not shown in pictures. No curtains on River side for privacy. Hot tub jets worked on one side only. Very quit and serene. Would definitely stay again!

Great relaxation spot!
We celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary and really enjoyed this tiny home. The location was great as we were looking to be away from everything and relax. We drove to Decorah when we wanted to get out and do things. But this tiny home is the perfect relaxing spot. We were pleasantly surprised with how close it was to the river. The scenery was beautiful. There was plenty of privacy between us and the cottage next door. I know rentals vary from place to place and what they provide, so just a heads up - you will need to bring your own coffee and condiments. They have a regular coffee pot and a keurig. There’s a couple of grocery stores in Waukon just about 15 minutes away. The hot tub was an awesome addition to our weekend of relaxation. We spent a lot of time just hanging out in there and enjoying the views. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again!

Older travelers were kinda disappointed.
I'll stay by saying we're closer to 60 and when we travel we stay in unique places. We even did this before our became popular and had apps. This property was a bit of a let down when compared with other stays and expectations. 1. Based on the photos and description, we expected more isolation. 2. Narrow gravel drive that forks for the two properties to share. There was little turning room. 3. There isn't good cell phone reception. If you have a problem and wanted to TALK to the property owner, you needed to drive about 10 miles to get reception. (Bit worrying for 911 too.) 4. I know it sounds petty but we get up at 4:30 or 5:00 because we have a homestead farm. We like to have coffee first thing. The coffee pot didn't work and we weren't sure how to use the propane stove. We also had trouble with the washer/dryer. out of date and a bit misleading. I'm glad they changed the direction of the bed and put a barrier next to the ledge of the loft though. FOR THE OWNER: Every other place we have stayed has a notebook of all the appliance instructions, tips about communication if cell service is spotty, and maps of the area. This would have been helpful. (Yes, we have stayed in much more remote areas before. ) It is a pretty place and it was clean, except for the grill which was nasty. It could be a great place with more clarity and communication.

It was nice to get away from home
It was a nice getaway location but not exactly what we were expecting. Better picture or description could have told us that another cottage is directly next door. Was looking for seclusion and peace and didn’t exactly get that. Really fun to stay in a tiny house though!
