About this property

Lake house on 5 acres. Pet Friendly! Close to State Parks, Caverns, and Marinas.

This lovely 3/2 is a quiet river retreat with gorgeous pasture and water views. Long front porch faces the huge pasture, and back deck faces the Collins River (STEEP 3-minute hike coming back up). The primary bedroom with Queen mattress is upstairs with a small deck, Jacuzzi tub, and stand-up shower. Main level includes the living room with gas fireplace, dining room, kitchen (fully stocked) and two bedrooms with a full bath down the hall (tub and shower combo).
Back deck offers seating for 4-6, gas grill, and private views of the woods and water. At the water there is a covered gazebo with seating and a small dock for swimming, sunbathing, and tying up your boat. Close to a marina, state parks, and caves!
Sept-May the water may be low, but you can enjoy the gazebo and fish or boat down river. Note: there are houseflies in the winter, usually at the doors and windows.

Fall Getaway

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was awesome. It had everything we needed. Enjoyed the quiet outside and wildlife. It was close to several state parks. Weather was nice overall. It rained off and on one day but we were able to get some hiking in and visit sights we hadn’t experienced before. We will definitely enjoy returning.

Immaculate and well appointed.

Truly a great experience. Tina was so communicative throughout the process and provided great information in advance of our visit (for example, what kind of coffee pot was on site). This made preparations easier on our part. The place was immaculately clean. Bed linens and towels were pristine and comfy. The whole house is well appointed. I didn’t want for anything. Would recommend.

Wonderful property!

We had a great stay! The house was lovely. The property was gorgeous! We were able to paddle board down the river from the dock and have a great time! It was super amazing that the property was pet friendly and our two dogs had a great stay as well.

Don’t recommend

The land lady was constantly writing to me to take the trash out and turn outside lights off. She was obviously watching what we were doing and made me feel very uncomfortable. She has a major I mean major fly issue that other houses there do not have. My son lives near there as well and no one around there has hundred of flies in the winter inside the house. I had to clean up hundreds of flies over our stay there, even in the sink, floors and windows near bath tubs and general floor. She has bug killing things which is why they were dead but it was so grossly out hygienic and considering we paid thousands of dollars for our stay it’s really gross. Then she made up reason to charge me for damages that we never did. She had things damaged like coffee table and chair ripped and even accused us of ruining sheets. Seriously don’t know I had to do an inventory of the damages in the house before we came to defend myself. I can’t believe she is a host as my ext with all my rental’s have been extremely helpful. She even accused me of my cat pooping in the bath when my cat was at the farm. She was just inventing an excuse. We rented for two weeks and no one came to clean in that time. My last place they had someone come so it was nice for us. We only slept at the house as I was at my sons farm every day all day. Anyway I would really watch it with this lady.

Nice cabin

We enjoyed the cabin, but this time of the year the water was down even at rock inland twin falls which was still great to go and see, the cabin has plenty of room to move around and sleep for a large family.

The stay was fun and relaxing, my wife and I traveled from Florida to see our son and his fiancé. We spent most of our time with them, we enjoyed the mountains and the evening temperatures. Overall it was a very positive experience and visit.

Off the beaten path

If you are looking for a clean, cozy property in the country, this place is for you. The owner was excellent with communication The location was close to area state parks. We loved the views. Fromthe front of the house we saw cows grazing in the pasture. In the back we were able to see the river and one morning a couple of deer. Our trip was very relaxing.

Cozy Cabin

Flat Shoals cabin is very cute and cozy. The fridge and pantry were well stocked with the essentials (condiments, etc.). So when packing no need to worry about those to bring or shop for. Tina is very responsive and timely. Very close to all things in Rock Island and we also went to Fall Creek Falls which is about 40 mins away but worth it as well.

Great Pet Friendly Cabin on the Water

This was a great cabin in a great location for our long weekend vacation. This cabin was pet friendly and we were able to bring our 3 puppies with us. The front and side yard were big so the kids and puppies could run around and play. The water makes for a pretty view and is down a steep slope which was great because our kids and puppies couldn’t get to it unassisted. The cabin was spacious and stocked with everything needed to cook a meal. There were extra linens and a washer and dryer. The grill was nice as my husband grilled 2 of the meals. It was a really quiet place. The only noise we heard from the neighbors were the cows mooing across the street. This is a great place to stay for a family getaway.

Relaxing summer break

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was very clean and well equipped. Bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. The location was just perfect for us. Less then 15 min from Rock Island State Park, antique shops and a Dollar General next to a gas station if you run out of essentials, yet secluded enough to enjoy the beautiful country scene that surrounds the property. The communication with the property owner was quite adequate, always answered on a timely manner and with clear instructions. Overall we had a great time and will definitely consider it again next time we are exploring around the area.

We loved our visit. Cute cabin w so many amenities! We enjoyed the dock use immensely. There is a rotten plank with decay on the “pier” that broke through. We noticed a few soft spots on the dock. We thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you!

What makes this property unique

Just a short walk down to the water with dock (steep walk back up)!
Very private, yet close to restaurants, shopping, convenient stores, etc.
Water level fluctuates in the off season.
