Clean and Cozy

We really enjoyed our stay in Waterloo. The cabin is well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Because it is a cabin, the windows are small so there is less natural light, but the place offers good privacy. All entrance access and directions were clear and accurate.

Comfy and Cozy

We came to Waterloo to visit family for Christmas. We always wanted to stay in a log cabin. This one didn’t disappoint. We loved everything about it! The bed was so comfortable, we slept in every single day! The owners were very easy to get ahold of. Great experience all around!

Perfect stay in a cozy cabin

The cabin felt much larger than we expected due to the large kitchen island and king size bed. Very clean including an air purifier! Very quiet and peaceful and yet just a short walk to town where there are plenty of restaurants, bars, and breweries. Highly recommend - will be back!

Perfect Cabin in a Perfect Place

This is our second time staying in this wonderful cozy cabin. For a small space it feels so large inside and that is because the owners have done an amazing job of laying it out. There is every creature comfort you need, as well as a wonderful table outside and a firepit with seating area to enjoy this picturesque small town. Everything was very clean. We will be back as soon as we can!
