Nice place with great views to make up for other minor shortcomings
The views from this property are wonderful, and well worth the drive to get to the property! The cabin is quite roomy, with plenty of beds for large groups and nice large windows for outside viewing, along with a nice deck and firepit with great views of the Mississippi river down below. There are also lots of outdoor options in the Driftless area of SW Wisconsin and NE Iowa, so there is no shortage of outdoor activities at any time of the year. However, there were a few negatives to our experience. Note that there is only one bathroom (on the main level), so a large group of people might find waiting for the bathroom to be part of the experience, or if one needs to visit the bathroom at night, unless you're in the main floor bedroom, you'll need to navigate stairs. The kitchen had plenty of things in it, but the organization was lacking, and many of the items seemed quite used and not up to what we would have come to expect in a premium VRBO rental. Also, at first glance the place was quite clean, but there were lots of corners that hadn't been dusted, and quite a few dead bugs on windowsills and on the floor. We only saw one live bug while we were there, so we know a lot of them were already there before we arrived. Note that these negatives did not really detract from our enjoyment of the property and the view, but feel the need to mention them.
