Great place to stay
My husband and I stayed here, and loved it! We could've easily had our kids stay too, as there were enough beds, and a well-stocked kitchen for us to make our meals there. Very friendly and helpful interaction with Adrienne when we arrived. Highly recommend!

Great stay
Had a blast at the lake. My kids fished from the dock and caught a lot of fish. The hosts were very hospitable and even helped us with we needed help fixing our boat. Great location and wonderful drive through the woods to get into town. Keosauqua is a quiet little town where there is more to do than you think. Lots of great places to shop and eat within a 20-25 min drive also.

Cabin on the lake
Nice property for short stay, very close to the lake. One sink was very slow draining and the shower door was not working properly. Other than those two things everything was fine. Would have preferred a charcoal or gas grill rather than an electric grill. We did experience problems with a rebate for one night because we stayed one day less than originally booked.

Just what the Dr ordered. :)
After a hectic summer, my wife and I needed a quiet get away. This was the perfect quiet place in the middle of beautiful, and historic Van Buren county. It is centrally located from a lake, state park and all the wonderful things the county has to offer. Adrienne (our host) was excellent to work with. We highly recommend the place. :)

Peaceful Retreat
This is a part of Iowa we've never visited. A cancelled bus trip lead to the decision to stay in Iowa. I think we may have chosen one of the best places to stay while visiting this part of of the state. There were quite a few amenities on site that we could have taken advantage of, but we chose to eat at area restaurants. In addition to that, there were a few villages in the area worth the road trip on the day we reserved for that purpose. It's a nice place to stay if your goal is a quiet getaway.

Lakeside Luxury
We were 3 families who stayed 3 nights and had a very good safe time. The owner was extremely friendly and accommodating., the kitchen was fully usable, and there was plenty of room for all of us to sleep and enjoy each other’s company. Huge yard and patio for playing games, use of grill and 2 fire pits, and the lake is really pretty. No fish stories to tell, but apparently there’s a time and place for that. We had a pontoon with us, however it’s idle only. No problem for us though. We definitely recommend it.

Awesome place to stay. Clean, comfortable, and hosts that go the extra mile
We slept 6 adults with no issues. Jeremy and Andrienne (your hosts) are the nicest people you'll meet. Full kitchen, fireplace, wifi, comfortable beds, well cared for, big kitchen table, I could go on and on. If you enjoy peace and quiet with a great view this is perfect, yet close enough to plenty of other things to do. A stones throw from the lake with a boat ramp in walking distance. Located in the middle of an outdoors enthusiasts paradise. You will not be disappointed. Will for sure stay here again!
