About this property

Relax on the River and Enjoy Southeast Iowa's Beauty

This cabin is nestled by the bridge across the river from Pittsburgh, Iowa, just a few miles west of Keosauqua on a paved road. Accommodations not only include the cabin, but also 1.5 acres of flat, riverfront land to play, relax and enjoy nature. A screened porch with seating overlooks the Des Moines river. The river view from this cabin is amazing.

The main/master bedroom has a full-sized bed, while the remaining loft area is furnished with two full-sized beds, comfortable for sleeping six people. The cozy living room is furnished with a reclining love seat and TV/DVD player and DISH Network! The kitchen is equipped with a full refrigerator and stove and a full table/benches for plenty of seating. Guests can enjoy an afternoon of fishing, sitting by the fire pit, or just relaxing while the sun goes down over the river.

The amazing wildlife along the river is absolutely beautiful. If you enjoy the outdoors, hunting, fishing and nature, this is the cabin for you!

Note: cell phone reception is spotting at the cabin, but better in town. There IS WiFi and DISH Network. You can unwind and relax with some amenities. Also the driveway is steeper. During winter months all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive is best!

Several things wrong

We were unable to flush toilet paper; therefore we all tried to not have bm's. The showerhead was totally loose. Bedbugs were found in the downstairs area. For the cost, it was disappointing. However we did love the outside area and the screened in porch

Nice getaway by the river

A lovely cabin for a getaway by the river: clean, well-equipped, and good communication with the owners. The only thing to be aware of is that it's fairly near a large county road, so there is frequent traffic noise - don't come here for silence, but if you don't need silence, it is great.

Nice Cabin Getaway

Loved everything about this place. Beautiful view of river. Had a fire going for many hours, unlimited firewood to burn. The screened in porch was nice, had big beautiful rustic table with fairy lights. Don’t have to pack much cause it’s fully stocked with pretty much everything. It’s really private. Big yard for dogs to run. Would definitely recommend!

Family get away

We had a great time. It was myself, my husband, son and his best friend (13 yr old boys) and our 2 Dobermans. The dogs loved the open yard to run and play and just relax. The guys got to go down to the river to fish. We were also close to Lake Lacey state park and Lake Sugema, where we got to enjoy the beach at Lake Lacey and some fishing at Lake Sugema. The cabin was very nice. The boys loved the loft. They had plenty of room to play their games and have fun. It was so nice to have a full kitchen. The screened in porch was so nice to sit out on to just listen to the river and the birds. There is also a fire pit to have a bonfire and cook hotdogs hamburgers and let’s not forget about the s’mores. We will definitely do this again.

About the host

Hosted by Kellie Kirkhart

We are a family with two Junior High children who love to be outdoors, relax and spend time with friends and family. We purchased this cabin to have a place to spend time together, as well as help out travelers to Van Buren County!

Why they chose this property

This property is in the perfect location right on the river. There is 1.5 acres of land that accommodates wildlife and allows for family activities. The river, deer, is peaceful about this cabin! Enjoy the views from the amazing porch!
