Fun Weekend with Freinds
This property was a perfect middle ground for us to meet our friends and have a great weekend. Scenery and near by attractions are fantastic, our host was very friendly and communicative, and it was very convenient for us to be able to bring our dogs with us. Will definitely consider staying here again!

Serene setting
My adult son and I found this to be a great spot for our annual getaway! We especially loved the (almost completed) screened in porch and we spent a lot of time out there playing games, reading and having our meals. The location is right off Apple Orchard Drive (stunning!) and we found lots to do in the area. We also enjoyed watching the video on the Driftless region which the owner provided. My only note for others is that we were unable to connect to Wi-Fi at any time and ended up using our data. This wasn't a big issue for us, but it might be for some. Overall, a great find!

Fantastic Stay
The cottage/property was clean, quiet, relaxed and lovely, as advertised. The perfect stop for the long weekend and not too far away from near by destinations. It was perfect for our small family and pup. Laurie was super warm and kind, appreciated all of the extra details and communication. Would definitely stay here again!

Can’t wait to come back!
Absolutely stunning views of the Minnesota bluffs! The drive to the cottage is beautiful and it’s located super close to a few gorgeous outlooks! The cottage itself is just as beautiful as the view from the back yard! My dad and I fell absolutely in love with the place as soon as we got there and can’t wait to return. The property was clean and very well maintained. The communication with Laurie was great and she is an outstanding host! Thank you so much for such a lovely and relaxing stay at your beautiful cottage!

A wonderful summer weekend!
Had a recent stay at the cottage. It was wonderful. Laurie was a great host. She was very attentive and provided great communication. The cottage was so clean and cozy. Our favorite things were the new screened in porch and the amazing book collection. The beds were very comfy and the cottage had all the amenities we needed for our stay! Our only qualm was the lack of cell/internet service which is out of the property host’s control. If you need immediate access to internet or cell service this is the only issue I could see.

Beautiful location, but some concerns.
My wife and I really wanted to enjoy our stay, because the area is beautiful, but some things got in the way. The first was that we was not given a code to lock the door upon arrival and we needed to leave right away. I reached out about a code, but didn't get a reply until the next day, so we had to leave our stuff in the house unlocked that night. The wifi did not work, there is no modem in the house to increase signal strength from where the router is (house across the driveway). This would help a lot in an area tough to get good service already. The privacy was a little lacking since the owner lives on the property in a house on the other side of the driveway. There are curtains to lower in unit, just not in the kitchen window, which looks right into the window of the other house. We were not aware of the host being on property from what we read in the listing. The last thing, there was a family of racoons living in the attic. This woke us up early in the morning and made it a very uncomfortable experience overall. I reached out about it to the owner, but received no reply back. The message was shown as read, just never got a reply. Again. we wanted to enjoy our stay, but there were just too many things that added up for us.

ANNUAL MISSISSIPPI RIVER GETAWAY
This is a very cozy cabin out in the driftless area nestled in valleys and rolling hills (just beautiful) with comfortable beds in both bedrooms. Laurie went out of her way to make sure our group and especially my disabled wife had all that she needed. The ramp for getting over the entry threshold worked great! The added toilet chair was most welcome also.....as was the shower transfer chair. It is hard to find places that will accommodate persons with disabilities. This cabin is great....and the host was friendly and very easy to work with. We will be back!!!

A Great Time!
This is a great cottage! The owner is easy to communicate with and goes above and beyond to make a stay great. My husband uses a power wheelchair and it can be HARD to find an accessible rental that can accommodate his chair as well as the rest of the family. This was great! Easy for my husband to get in/out, and into the spacious rooms. Close to all nearby attractions!

Beautiful location, was a bit hard to locate, even with the advice of wait for gps to reroute from an unmaintained backroad. It rerouted us back to the same road. I would suggest adding take CR 1 to driving directions. Enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, great place to kick back and relax!

Quick weekend getaway
Quaint little place close to the Bluffs state park. It had enough space for 2 kids + 3 adults. We mainly spent our evenings there as we were out and about during the day. I wished for a few more windows in the place. I was hoping the views of the bluffs could have been seen within the cabin. You could only see them outside. I wanted the campfire pit in front of the place. It was between our place and the owners home.
