So relaxing, so comfortable!

With breathtaking views of the Mississippi this rental did not disappoint! The host was easily reached when I had a few questions. One of the nicest places I’ve stayed, I had a busy weekend planned and the Three Little Birds River House made me wish I had allowed more time to just relax at the rental. I found the Quad Cities to be delightful, so really, the only thing I would change when returning is planning a longer visit. Highly recommend:)

Relaxation, fun and great views

The house is super cute and welcoming. We enjoyed sitting down by the river watching the sunrise every morning. The first floor game room is perfect for a little get together, plenty of room and lots to do for entertainment. Clean and well appointed. Highly recommend!

Fun Unique Place

This place was great! Lots of unique little corks, from the retro radio and throw back Nintendo to the full game room/bar downstairs. This place saved my friends and I a lot of money, it didn’t feel like we needed to go out on the town after our round of golf at Deer Run. I was happy to see any suggestions that other guests had for the owners did not go unnoticed. The owners had taken care of all of them. Thanks for a great place to stay and the best memories made!

Family get together

We had a nice family get together for Easter. The weather didn’t cooperate to be outside, but the game room in the basement provided for some friendly competition. We were able to bring our dog and enjoy the stay. The owners were quick to respond to any questions. The river view was great and we saw eagles.

Needed lodging for wedding shower with out of town friends was a great spot. A bit out of town, but still close enough. Very spacious and clean and a nice basement to hang out and play games. The beds were not the best but not the end of the world.

Palmer Graduation

Overall a lovely experience - We were able to celebrate, take in the Midwest views, and enjoy neighborly company. The check in process was a bit “wonky”, but other than that we enjoyed our stay. The dryer doesn’t seem to completely dry what you need and could use an update. Downstairs game area is great, and the fire pit is an added bonus. The location is nice and the neighborhood is friendly. Would stay here again!

Great for Eagle Watching!

What a great view of the Mississippi! We were greated with 5 eagles in the tree just acrosse the water. The property was clean and inviting. The bag of ice was a nice surprise for our beverages.There were 4 staying there but only 2 washclothes, so 2 more would have been nice. This is listed as a 2+ bathroom, but is actually a 1 1/2 bath. Be careful on the toilet in the basment as it has a wobble to it. One improvement would be to include what the breakfast that is available is at the house and where to located it. Also, our friends wanted to use the ceiling fan, but commented about the dust on it so they decided not to. Communication with the owner is beyond excellent! Thanks so much for letting us share your home on the Mississippi!

Cozy river side getaway

Great experience overall. As we walked in the the house it was clean and decorated for the holidays. The bottom floor was warm and our kids enjoyed all the games. The upper floor was clean, comfy and cozy and a great place to spend a few days away as a family.

Nice, but needs more

Please put a dresser in both the bedrooms, even if it's a cheap one. I did not like living out of a suitcase. Also, four towels is not enough. There were four of us, and only four towels--and no towel racks or hooks. We each had to assign our towel to a place (I draped mine over the dryer). More towels and towel racks. Property was "riverfront," which was true, but no access to the river. My brother-in-law said he would have been mad if he'd hauled a boat down there. Other than those easily fixable things, it was a nice place. Sun rise over the river was beautiful. Place was clean and comfortable. Lots of games in the game cabinet.

We plan to stay again! The view of the river was amazing and can be seen from almost every window in the house. The kids loved fishing, sitting by the fire and playing with the games downstairs. The beds and bedding were very cozy. We also enjoyed watching the eagles and other wildlife.

We so enjoyed staying here. A little nook of heaven right along the river. Hosts were amazing, very clean. The fire pit was the hook for us staying there and it was an amazing time sitting around the fire with a group of eagles playing along the river bank. Stay here!

Dog friendly, nice hosts, but needs more work

The interior upper rooms are clearly modernized and updated. Very nice except cheap and uncomfortable mattresses for the beds. Very nice modern TVs up and downstairs. Dog crate and toy were in the lower level which was a nice touch. Owners very responsive and very easy to access the property with electronic locks. Water pressure for the shower is too low. Lower level is a basement/ game room. But in wet whether it’s so damp and musty you don’t want to spend time there. A de-humidifier needs to be running 24/7. Access to the actual building was impeded by massive muddy 3-5 inch deep puddles that were half the size of the sunken driveway. The owners provided rubber boots which is nice but nicer would be if they completed the gravel fill in to the driveway so you don’t have to put muck boots on to bring your luggage inside and to come and go from the property. To be fair there had been a lot of rain prior to and during our stay. But it seems reasonable that guests can access the front of the property without walking through a water logged muddy driveway and yard. Overall do not recommend until the driveway and water pressure issues are addressed.

We were in town for the Bettendorf baseball tournament. These accommodations were perfect for us to be at the field during the day and relax at night. It made our getaway like a little vacation oasis. Thank you, if ever nearby again, would definitely stay again.

Cozy 2 bedroom along the Mississippi river

We enjoyed the stay at 3 Little Birds VRBO. The upstairs has been remodeled and was very nice. We were somewhat confused by the game room as the video games were more the size for a child but we really didn’t have the time to use them. The house is very close to the river and my husband did enjoy fishing there.
