Relax Amidst Nature On Clear Creek

Clear Creek Cabin is located in the scenic Driftless Area of Northeast Iowa.

As you walk out the doors of the secluded cabin you will find a spring-fed, one acre pond. Complete with bluegill, bass and catfish. There is also 70 feet of white sand beach. Hike 100 yards and you will find 3.2 miles of the Clear Creek trout stream. If you enjoy hiking or hunting, the cabin is adjacent to 800 acres of public hunting land.

For cyclists, The Mississippi River Trail is nearby. More fishing is also located in the Upper Iowa and Mississippi Rivers. And there are many area golf courses and snowmobile trails. Scenic beauty abounds!

And that is just the outdoors.

Clear Creek Cabin boasts 2,700 sq ft of cozy hardwood excellence. The rustic good looks of the original cabin that was built in 1873 (with another log frame addition in 1885 and a modern addition in 2000) is combined with all the modern amenities you would want.

Start your relaxing stay with a full, restful night of sleep in one of the 5 bedrooms. Choose from a king pillow top, queen, full or one of four twin XL beds or twin bunk bed. There is a plush-top futon in the balcony/den and another in an upstairs bedroom. There is even a crib for your infant.

A modern heat and air conditioning system will keep you at the right temperature as you wake up. Next you may find a hot shower or a soak in the tub is in order. Choose from one of the three full baths; one with a shower, one with a shower/tub and another with a shower/tub. Don't forget to drop your bath towel in the towel warmer so it is ready when you get out!

The smell of a hot cup of coffee or tea (or maybe even a "lumberjack" breakfast) are easily in the realm of possibilities for the full kitchen. It has all of the large and small appliances you will need during your stay. There is a full set or dishes and utensils and even a charcoal grill on the flagstone patio outside the back door.

Enjoy your meals on the porch or at the picnic table overlooking the pond or in the large dining room. With seating for 10 at the reclaimed lumber (that my Great-Grandfather milled many years ago) dining room table, there is sure to be ample space for all.

Relax in the living room with reclining seating for 10 guests. This room has a 55 inch SMART TV, DVD and VHS players, and a console with connection to all your favorites on Netflix or YouTube. You may also enjoy complimentary high speed, fiber optic Wi-Fi for your mobile devices and Wi-Fi enabled phone calls. Or you could follow the kids upstairs to play with the various toys including the 3 foot tall doll house.

This property has something for everyone. Now, go explore!

Perfect Christmas Cabin

I had my whole family at the cabin for a Christmas gathering. Everything was perfect and roomy. The only downfall was that there wasn't any snow yet. We will be back!

Pond Vacation!

We had great time at what we refer to as the pond cabin. It's a beautiful setting and kids and adults can find plenty to do. We fished, kayaked, had campfires, cooked and ate outside. The weather was in the 70's in August, but it didn't stop the kids from getting in the water. They spent hours building and digging in the sand. They all want to go back.

Great family vacation spot

The kids loved playing on the beach, and kids and adults alike enjoyed spending time wading, swimming, and kayaking in the pond just feet from the back porch. The house is well-maintained and clean; perfect for our extended family getaway.

Great spot, wonderful history!

We had a great time at this cabin. Everything was clean and in good order, and we loved watching the fireflies and stars near the pond and drinking coffee on the front porch in the morning.

Perfect secluded stay

This property is one of a kind! The pond is perfect for kids to play and fish. Wonderful view while drinking coffee on the porch in the mornings was a great way to start the day. A lot of wildlife to see and trout fishing close by kept everyone busy! The house is stocked with anything you might need for cooking. The owners were very easy to communicate with. If you’re looking for a very quiet, secluded vacation this is the place!

Gorgeous property!

We brought our extended family here as a gift to my in-laws, and it did not disappoint. There was more than enough room for 14 people, and having three nice bathrooms was great. This place is remote enough to truly get away from it all but close enough to towns to do things (like shop or tube the river).

The entire family, including our dogs, had a wonderful time. We spent most of our time on or by the pond, but also enjoyed hiking and exploring. We look forward to visiting again!
