We really enjoyed our stay! The property was in great shape and the decorations added to the overall warmth! The beds were really comfortable and there was plenty of space for all of us. While the proximity of the railroad tracks might be a concern to some, the trains really did not make as much noise as you might think. Also, there is no road crossing nearby so the trains did not blow their horns at all. The views of the Mississippi were fantastic, and we were treated to a wide variety of birds including ducks, geese, swans, songbirds, white pelicans, owls, and bald eagles. While we did not meet the hosts, we had great communication with them and they were happy to help getting us our keys back that we accidentally left hanging in the cabin! We hope to visit again soon!
