The house was beautiful, the hosts were wonderful, the location was perfect and all the extra amenities were unexpected but appreciated

The house gives a cabin feeling inside with the great woodwork. We enjoyed our stay and would be interested in renting it again next year when we visit Guttenberg.

It was a nice place to unwind after a long workday. The owners were great and very quick to respond and helpful when we had questions. I will definitely stay again if the need arises.

What a great place to gather with our small group of high school (class of 1980!) friends for a centrally located getaway! We loved the gathering spaces in the back yard and the fire pit and hot tub! Outdoor cooking was great as well and a very functional kitchen. We are already planning our next annual gathering and will likely return here.

We had a good time during our stay. Nice place with a great location near the river and down town.

Surprisingly, this rental was now where near what we expected, especially given the price. Pictures were taken carefully to downplay how close neighboring buildings actually are, thus the reason all of the blinds were closed and the curtains were around the hot tub. You could almost touch the neighbors from the hot tub they’re that close.The decorations were ok, but the house is old and less than clean, not really sure what parts were remodeled. We avoided the showers as they were not clean and the toilets weren’t as well. We avoided the grill and had to buy a new coffee pot as the one there was disgusting even after we tried cleaning it. It is a working neighborhood and not a quiet cabin, although the trains weren’t bad. Disappointingly, the various fees totaled nearly 60% of the nightly rent. They sure make money off of the “cleaning” fee. A quick place to spend the night, but we won’t be back.

I had a wonderful time at the R-Lodge. It's a cozy base camp for touring the area, with room for larger groups. The house is well soundproofed against the trains that pass daily. The hot tub in the back is excellent.

For our short stay, this property suited as a base camp for exploring the area. The owners were respectful and thoughtful. The hottub was just what we needed after hours of hiking. I think this place would be ideal for a larger group, but it was fine for us as well.

Trains were a bit noisy but overall peaceful and uninterrupted time was nice to finally get.

Me and my friends from college always arrange a short trip during the holidays and we enjoy Guttenberg. We met Julie when we arrived and she showed us around and left oranges, water, and Gatorade in the fridge (such a nice detail!). The house was warm but could have cozier decor and blankets. The living room space was large and a great space to hang out. We were steps away from stores and restaurants which was a plus. Overall, we had a nice time.

Great place to visit host had excellent communication and helped out with all the little things

Our group of 5 had a wonderful time at this cute cabin! We visited the town for a weekend getaway and really enjoyed the cabin and it's surroundings. The hot tub was a big hit with our group and helped us have a relaxing trip! The hosts are really nice and great with communication. Definitely recommend this cabin!

First guests at a new listing. Great river town in NE Iowa, home is close to amenities and riverfront. Hot tub off the back deck was ideal, great space to spread out, hosts are very welcoming and quick to respond to questions and needs. We enjoyed our stay and a much needed few days away!
