Peaceful Cabin located in beautiful Des Moines River valley

Cabin sits on almost 2 acres right across from the Des Moines river , boat ramp just 1/4 mile away . Home has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing get away in the woods . Cabin is log and knotty pine inside . This cabin was built by my father in 2003 as his retirement home . We welcome well trained dogs , there is no fenced yard and lots of timber all around so we recommend keeping on leash as there are lots of deer crossing thru property daily . Boone is just a 10 min drive , Ogden 15 min . Don Williams recreation is also just 5 min drive . Come relax , rewind and just enjoy the peace and quiet of the country .
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.

I adored this stay, it was warm and cozy! I will book here again! Good distance from Des Moines without being too far. Boone is close and has some great places to dine. Everything is this cabin was as neat as a pin! It was cozy and had a GREAT bath tub! The bed was so comfortable and I felt very safe here alone!

A little peace and quiet
A wonderful and peaceful cabin. It was just the place my wife and i were looking for. It was away from everything. It was so great we did not want to leave. We hoped the storm that came through would anow us in. We plan to go again. Would highly recommend for those that want to get away from it all.

Getaway
I had such a wonderful time! From the moment I opened the door and came into the cabin to the time I closed the door for the last time, it felt like I was home, that this was a place to be able to be off, to just recharge. This cabin in a little place out in the country had everything one would need. I look forward to the next time I am able to stay here. I cannot recommend this place high enough.

Quiet, Remote, Exactly What We Wanted
My son and I wanted a remote place to stay outside of Omaha because of the loud fireworks on the fourth of July. This was one of the only places I could get and it was well worth it! In the middle of the beautiful Iowa country side, near the river, was a quiet escape for us. The place was larger than expected, cozy and comfortable. It had wifi and dog friendly. So, we unpacked our laptops and sat around eating junk food and playing video games avoiding the fireworks! While you're probably not like us, if you enjoy being in nature, the woods, in a quiet place this is for you. Also, the owners communicated very well with clear instructions. Highly recommend.
