Cozy Home w/ Yard: Steps to Mississippi River

Reviews

• Great family trip!

  5/5

  The property was more private than we were anticipating. Very quiet neighborhood on a dead end gravel road. The house has it's own dock and boat launch, which was not expected. We brought our fishing boat, so it was perfect! There were a lot of backup supplies that came in handy, also. The house is a bit dated, but we did not mind; it did not affect our experience at all. A couple critiques: consider putting curtains on the windows (especially the bedrooms.) There is central AC, but the bedrooms get pretty warm and then stay warm overnight. They would help the AC not struggle as much to cool the house during the day, in general. They would also help for those that aren't early risers. We were up with the sun by 5:30am each day and would have liked to have been able to sleep longer, as we work evenings. Also, the power went out our last night there. Being on a well system, we ended up with no water also. We noticed almost all of the neighbors have backup generators, which makes me think that it happens regularly. Should maybe consider doing this also. Note: it did storm our last day there. Overall it was a great place and a great time. We would definitely stay here again!

• River house stay

  5/5

  The house was very comfortable and completely met our needs. It was well stocked and had terrific views of the Mississippi River. The fact that we could have or dogs with us was without a doubt a plus. We would definitely be interested in staying there again. One drawback was the early checkout time.

• Cancelled on us at the last minute

  1/5

  We were coming in to town for a funeral. Less than 3 hours before check in the booking was cancelled. Just not ideal. I understand if there were issues but please let us know farther ahead. We drove 4 hours in for the funeral and were already in town. Also, communication was incredibly difficult as it was not routed to the host but through some third party intermediary called Evolve. I tried both calling and texting the host the evening before to confirm details. No response until Evolve called to cancel the entire listing a few hours before check in.I cannot verify the property details, location, or cleanliness as the booking was cancelled at the last minute. Please disregard those ratings. The communication, check in, and overall rating stand.

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner:
  "Hi Jessie, we’re truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the last-minute cancellation, especially given the difficult circumstances of your visit. Unfortunately, we were alerted to a serious sewer line issue just a few hours before your scheduled check-in, and despite our efforts to resolve it in time, it couldn’t be repaired until the following day. We completely understand how upsetting the timing must have been, and we regret that this impacted your plans. 
  Thank you for taking the time to share your experience—we’re using your feedback to improve how we handle emergencies and communication going forward."

• Quad Cities outage stay

  Check in process was easy, great location right on the river! Near Clinton, IA for ease of shopping, dining...etc. I recommend this house!

• Perfect spot for family time!

  5/5

  We were here for a weekend stay and my boyfriend is from Clinton. This was the perfect place to have his family stop in and out for coffee, lunch and dinner! We even had a slumber party on Saturday night with his son, daughter in law and grandkids! Such an amazing time at a great location! The river was so peaceful to wake up to.
