Vacation rentals in Alta Vista

Our party of five adults stayed at Andy's place for a birthday weekend and had a great time. The cabin and surroundings are as described ~ clean, unique, private, quiet. We kayaked and fished in the pond and ate our meals on the deck; we loved the outdoor spaces and appreciated having the kayaks and the fire pit available. We traveled to Elkader and Decorah during the days. The cabin was just the right place to come back to.

Great place and great hospitality. Dan went above and beyond to make our stay great. We had 16 people between adults and children for a hunting trip to the area and the place worked perfect. Hope to visit again in the future.

This was the perfect country setting to disconnect and recharge. The cabin was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Outside, we were surrounded by trees, the sound of birds, and a running stream nearby. We loved spending the day just sitting on the wrap around porch and taking nature in. Thank you for making our stay the recharge we needed!

Water Place fit our needs perfectly! We were able to be together as a larger family under one roof for our family Christmas. The well stocked kitchen was a huge help, and we enjoyed the peaceful river views.

We loved staying here! It can be difficult finding a good place to stay when traveling with three generations, so we were really happy to find this place. It's an old farmhouse, and we loved it. Beautiful area with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. And Bruce and Kristie are extremely responsive - they're the sort of hosts who go the extra mile. We'd definitely like to stay here again!

A Magical Escape – Pure Serenity and Adventure! This place was absolutely wonderful and so serene—it truly brought out our inner Huck Finn! From the moment we arrived, we felt a sense of adventure and freedom, opening our minds to explore and embrace the beauty around us. Leslie was so sweet, and Roger was simply AWESOME! We had an unforgettable time with our 10-year-old daughter, feeding the fish, exploring the area, and experiencing the "off-the-grid" lifestyle while still enjoying all the comforts of home. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation for the whole family. The surroundings were absolutely gorgeous—every little detail made the stay perfect. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a peaceful yet adventurous getaway! 🌿✨

Great place to spend time with friends and family. Big advantage is you rest room for all 6bedrooms. Host is really responsive & home is clean with all amenities in place. Do miss the place in summer.

Impressive restoration of the log cabin. The cabin was furnished very well with towels, extra pillows and blankets. The kitchen was well stocked with everything one could wish for, and even extras, like basic baking and cooking supplies. Even a tabletop popcorn popper! 🍿 🍿. Very peaceful surroundings in the woods.
