Great Time, Wonderful Location

The owner was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. The house was very clean, more than enough towels/sheets/pillows, and bedding even smelled really good (bonus). The outside area was clean, well maintained, and quiet. Overall, we would certainly revisit this house and area.

A Little Slice of Heaven

This property is so relaxing. We had never booked with VRBO before but it ended up being so easy and we will definitely be going back at some point. Cabin was clean and owners were very friendly.

Great Place

The Chalet is a great cabin. It's tucked away from the other cabins there to give you more privacy. Our dogs were comfortable there as well. Home away from home for us.

Descent for peace of mind and nature

The experience was great being outdoors.. loved the porch only bad thing was the roaches they were everywhere and spiderwebs, spiders and insects all throughout the cabin. If that could get cleared up I'll definitely return. It was worth the price for peace.

Romantic remote getaway

the cabin had all the amenities we needed and the rocking chair porch was wonderful for peaceful relaxing nights, talking and cooking out. It stormed while we were there so we didn't get to enjoy the fire pit.

About the host

Hosted by Nikki Salek

Host profile image
Nikki, Lee and their teenage daughter Emilee Salek are the hosts. The owners are Jim and Freda Sojka, third wind entrepreneurs with a longtime dream of buying this camp so close to our home. It has been a church camp since the 70s, we wanted to convert it to something families could enjoy. We also love a family business to run together.
We wanted to share our good fortune, through the sale of a successful business, (Bug Soother)this is an excellent way to be able to do that.

Why they chose this property

As proud Iowans, we know how beautiful and sometimes under-appreciated the landscape of Iowa can be. With rolling hills, lush forest trails, and breathtaking views of the Cedar River, we believe that Cedar River Ranch encompasses all of the qualities we love about SE Iowa. Cedar River Ranch is the perfect spot for a country-chic wedding, a family reunion, a guys trip or a girls weekend to reconnect with old friends, or just somewhere to steal away for a weekend.

What makes this property unique

With 53 acres of timber and trails along the Cedar River, our cabins are perfect for the outdoor explorer. Plus, our brand new swimming pool plus volleyball and basketball courts, horseshoes, and 2 playgrounds, there are activities for all ages. During the summer season, roast marshmallows around the fire pit, and relax.

We have 2 big buildings that hold events, and a large commercial kitchen to cater to the events.

The Ranch is set up to make some memories.

Also on the property will be a transitional living community for women in recovery. By staying at the ranch, you are supporting a fresh start for these women.
