Our children and grandchildren joined us for a terrific weekend getaway at Fred and Becky’s beautiful home. We enjoyed the privacy and the wide assortment of activities for the kids.

Slice of Heaven in the Country.

This was my family's 2nd stay here. We loved it just as much, if not more than the 1st. Becky went above and beyond to welcome us. Her hospitality is top notch. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. They have practically anything you would need at the cabin. If you're looking for a quiet getaway at a beautiful spot, this is it.

Spectacular!

Our family spent 5 days at this gorgeous property. It was blissful! Our teen kids loved exploring the property, fishing, kayaking, playing pool and so much more. We spent our evenings visiting and playing games. We so appreciated that the TV wasn't on the main floor which made it so much easier to just be together as a family and enjoy laughing and playing games. Becky was the best host. The home was immaculate, the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials, the linens were high quality & so soft...I could go on & on! Thank you Becky for giving our family such wonderful memories. We will be back!

Everything you need!

This is a gorgeous cabin with plenty of space for a large group. The log home is very clean and has everything you will need. The pantry is well stocked for any forgotten item. The pond provided hours of fun for our beginning fishermen along with kayaks to paddle and relax. Excellent communication with the hosts, who left snacks and breakfast items for items for our family. We will be back.

A gorgeous property, that was perfect for our families weekend getaway.

The cabin had comfortable sleeping and plenty of common areas with a hot tub, Netflix, and internet. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel at home by added hospitality of snacks and meals. The real beauty of this rental is the outdoor and recreational space. The pond is entertainment for fishing, swimming, and kayaking, and the endless mowed trails made for beautiful views, exercise, and peaceful walks at sunset.

Don’t miss out on this one!

This was an awesome place for an extended family gathering / celebration weekend. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for multiple families & generations. Fishing was great - all kids caught many bass. The kayaks were used all day long. The pool table got plenty of use one rainy morning. The hosts were very responsive and included many “extras” which made the trip even more fun - breakfast casserole, cookies, and treats throughout the house. Definitely a place we would return to for future family gatherings.

Green Creek Retreat

10 of us stayed at the log cabin and there was plenty of room inside and out. The grounds and cabin are beautiful, clean and serene. There was something for everyone to do or just simply unwind. Fishing, kayaking, hiking, grilling and outdoor games (some provided) kept us busy. We have rented homes before but never have had so many extras to make us feel welcome! Becky (hostess) was so easy to work with and answered our questions promptly. If you want to unwind, relax and get close to nature this is the place for you. We would definitely stay again.

Great time!

Our family of 11, adults, preschooler and toddlers, had a relaxing, VERY enjoyable 4th of July weekend at this location. We were all very comfortable in the cabin, took hikes on the trails and then relaxed while listening to nature in the hot tub. There were many games available that added to our enjoyment. The hosts were wonderful and left us several food surprises. Would highly recommend this location to all!!

We loved our stay here! It was the perfect location for our family for our family as we gathered for my husband’s celebration of life. The house was very well appointed and had beautiful views of the pond, which my grandkids and my brother enjoyed fishing! All 12 of us (6 adults & 6 children) were very comfortable here.

Even Better Than the Pictures!

Our family (ages 50, 37, 33, 17, 17, 11, 10, 5) had the best time ever during our stay at this cabin. It was the perfect escape from the state of the world (including the pandemic). The cabin and estate was even better than the pictures could show. There's a master bedroom with en suite on the first level which we didn't see in the pictures - and that was perfect for our sized group. Some of us are high risk for COVID-19 and we were very worried about traveling, but Becky assured us there is a 3 day gap in between rentals and everything is thoroughly cleaned. In addition to the constant communication, she also left us homemade cookies, treats throughout the house, and the best breakfast bake I've ever had. The only possible negative was the internet is satellite (makes sense, you're in the middle of nowhere). But, it made a slight work emergency during our stay difficult to navigate. However, it is WELL worth it for the sounds of nature, the serene land, the wonderful accommodations. Just download some books ahead of your trip, you'll be good to go.

About the host

Hosted by Fred/Becky Showalter

We purchased this property in 2017. My husband and I love the peace and quiet here. We have some adjoining land near this property and always wanted a weekend place to go to. We are both ISU graduates and are retired now.

Why they chose this property

This area is so beautiful and not that far from our permanent home. We have grandchildren and grown children so this is a great place for us all to meet at. It is so quiet and peaceful at our log cabin.

What makes this property unique

No visible neighbors. It’s only 7 miles to great restaurants and shopping. Mowed walking trails to enjoy and lots of wildlife to see. Look out the windows and see the gorgeous pond and deer in the yard. Stunning sunsets. Beautiful log home in a scenic part of Iowa. A real slice of paradise.
