The cabin has a private flight of stairs at lead to the Lake where there are kayaks canoes and rowboats available for free use for guests. The cabin has a master bedroom with a Queen size bed and small couch.

Outside the cabin there is a picnic area with fire pit, LP grill, and picnic table with dry firewood for sale for $5 a bundle. The cabin is on the same property as River Valley campground so if you have friends with RVs or campers there are spots available. Campers are some distance away from Cabins but on heavy travel days campers may be closer. The lake is shared by other guests and Campers are separated mostly on the other side of the Lake and are mainly used on weekends. The cabin is in a separate area of the property and has its own access to the Lake. and has a newly added flight of stairs set goes directly to the lower level. There is a hiking trail around the lake and the local area has lots of wildlife and Flora and fauna to see. There are 2 state parks with in 40 minutes and Volga Lake recreational area is about 10 miles away. A convenience store is 2.5 miles away in Wadena and a grocery store is 10 miles away in Elgin. There is no Wi-Fi or television in the cabin so you can just unplug and relax but there is a cell tower within a mile, so you get great reception with US cellular but other carriers may be spotty. The most important rule is to relax, enjoy your stay and please return. Bring any personal items that will make your stay more comfortable. I have most of the basics but maybe not everything you may need. Please no shoes or smoking inside the cabin. Before checking out, please place all used linen in pile on the floor near the front door. Feel free to bring your own sheets and towels if wanted. They are supplied but some people prefer to bring their own. If you're going to need a heavy blanket, please bring that as well because they are too difficult to wash between each guest, but if needed I can supply them. Place all garbage in the dumpster near the entrance. Pets must be house broken and let me know the size, number and type of pet you are bringing. Please bring a dog bed or sheet to lay on and a Kennel is suggested for nighttime. No pets allowed on furniture or beds or inside the cabin if wet or dirty. Pets Cannot be left alone inside the cabin, unless inside a kennel and please pick up after your pets. I have an outside kennel for guests to use if needed. If the pet has an accident inside the cabin, there will be an additional cleaning fee of 25$. And please let me know if this happens so the area can be cleaned and sanitized. Unfortunately, there is no swimming allowed in the Lake due to insurance and liability issues. Fishing is allowed but please use artificial bait and barbless hooks for the safe release of the fish.

This cabin was a beautiful little place out in the country, away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It made for a great chance for my family and I to get away from everyday life and just relax. Having access to the water made for some great memories for my niece. And my parents also especially enjoyed having such a nice sized deck/porch to laze around on. The owner was very polite and answered all my questions. Would absolutely stay here again!

We picked this property for a relaxing sisters weekend! The cabin was what we expected, clean and cute. The teenagers loved the small lake and the kayaks and canoes provided, host was super friendly and nice. A great weekend of unplugging and spending time together.

Amazing little hidden gem in NE Iowa! Cabin was cozy, and inviting. Located close to Volga River, West Union and Fayette. Andy is a great host and made sure we had everything we might need. Highly recommend!

Our family of five chose this cabin for a short getaway. We all had a wonderful time , the lake is beautiful and quiet. We especially enjoyed kayaking, canoeing and paddle boating. Andy met us there when we arrived and was super easy to communicate with. The cabin had everything our family needed. Inside there are plenty of games, the kitchen had what we needed to eat in, the grill was great, there were plenty of towels and toiletries. We set up chairs around the fire pit and enjoyed sitting out there at night listening to the sounds of nature. This is a wonderful cabin and we’d highly recommend it. Planning to return.

Another amazing stay at this great cabin! My wife and I stayed here for the second time recently and just had a great time. The cabin is very, very clean, with great amenities, a beautiful pond just outback, and just extremely serene and calm. Andy is great, very kind and very good to work with. He even brought us some fresh sweet corn one night which was delicious! We will definitely be back again for our third visit, hopefully sometime this fall when the trees are turning colors and the temperatures are going down. Highly recommend it!

The place was absolutely disgusting. The bathroom had not been cleaned at all. There was hair all over the shower. The was toothpaste all in the sink and faucet. The floors were filthy. The outside of the cabin had not been maintained in a very long time. The host even admitted in an email, after the fact, that he had not had time to clean in between guests. We didn’t even stay there our full reserved time. We had to leave because we couldn’t trust the bed to be cleaned. Plus the description of the cabin slept 10 people which is an absolute false statement!

This property was a great location for myself and my extended family to stay. The fishing in the pond kept the teens busy while the adults could oversee them from the deck with drinks in hand.

This was an amazing trip, and the property was exactly as described. The cabin has a very cool wrap around porch. Andy was super nice and accommodating while 100% non-invasive. We used the canoe and caught a few fish. It was a short drive to WI where we were able to do some more fishing at Bloody Run. Beautiful scenery everywhere in this part of the state. We even brought a tv because there isn’t one at the cabin (while we were there, which was clear in the description), and didn’t even bring it inside. We’ll definitely be back!

Family weekend to unplug
This cabin was just right for our family of five. It was clean, had everything we needed, and gave us enough room to gather for a board game or for each of us to sit and read a book. We had a nice view of the snow and ice covered lake and surrounding nature. Nice and peaceful setting.

This was my family’s second stay at this cabin. We love that it is on a private pond/lake, it’s quiet and relaxing. The kayaks are right there to use freely any time and my boys enjoy the catch & release fishing too.
The cabin isn’t too far from Backbone State Park & Volga Lake. These are great places to hike and fish.
Check-in was easy and Andy was readily available to answer any questions. He even took a couple of our suggestions we gave after our stay last year, and incorporated them into the property.
The beds were comfy enough and the cabin was just right for our family of four.
The only thing I didn’t much care for was the few people on golf carts who cut through our drive to get to the campgrounds beyond the lake. Otherwise we never heard the campers or saw them. We actually kind of liked that we were completely isolated.
We look forward to our next stay!

We had a geat time at this cabin! It was a perfect place to relax and unwind. It was extremely hot during our stay but the cabin was comfortably cool and there was a nice breeze out on the lake as well as on the deck. We rented the paddleboat for our stay and I'm so glad we did our dog loved being out on the water in it! There were plenty of boats and my son's both really enjoyed the kayaks, my younger son even caught several fish. All in all it's a great place to stay if you are looking for a quiet, laid-back place to get away!!

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was more than we needed. Wasn't happy we couldn't swim and the fishing is not well due to loss of fish to the otters is what the host told us.
We will look forward to another trip there.

We enjoyed our recent stay at this cabin. It’s location is great for a relaxing and peaceful getaway. Close proximity to Elkader if you are looking for some great shopping and also close to Pikes Peak and Backbone State Park if you want options for a day trip. Andy is great to work with and quickly replies to any questions or needs.

Wonderful Trip!
Really enjoyed brining my family to this cabin for a nice get away. Wadena is a nice remote town. We felt very secure and away from everyone. The cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. Great tub, shower, stairs to the pond, fire pit...everything you need. Would gladly book again!
