About this property

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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!

Chill-cation
We love this property and have been 3 years in a row. We mostly just hang out outside by the river and fire and relax. We have also dined in town, shopped at the local stores and hiked at Lacey-Keosaqua park. We'll be back next year!

Everything was just as promised. Lovely view of the Des Moines River from the large screened in porch. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Excellent communication with the owner. A great location to relax or explore the villages of Van Buren county. We’d do it again!

Perfect little getaway!
We loved our stay at this cabin. They literally have everything there that you will need (well you might want to bring some firewood depending on their supply). The cabin is cute and cozy. Our first night it was extremely hot outside and the air conditioner did well. It is so close to the river, with a great view, and very peaceful! We will definitely be back!

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
