Cottage vacation rentals in Iowa

Great place to stay on the river! Loved the screened in porch and hot tub.

I really enjoyed my stay; easy to find and access, impeccably clean, plenty of space, quiet and peaceful.

This was perfect for what we needed the overnight for. very clean, relaxing and great place to deep think, and have good talks. if love to stay again sometime

Beautiful cabin on the Upper Iowa River. We enjoyed watching the squirrels and ducks around the property. The hot tub was perfect for soaking. The cabin was neat and tidy. We stopped by wings in dorchester for dinner one night. Spring Grove was about 20 minutes away, we recommend going to RockFilter Distillery and Fat Pat’s brewery for the pizza. If you are in Decorah then Mabe’s pizza has a half baked pizza as the cabin is nestled in bluffs away from most options. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway then we strongly recommend staying here.

Amy’s place was perfect for our family of 5 (including 3 under 6) and was within a 2 minute walk of the park, beach, and downtown. The kids loved the bunk beds!

A beautiful little house. We learned from a neighbor that it was the town's hatmaker store. A perfect vacation cottage for a family or a small group of friends.

We had a great family weekend and Dan & Di's. We really enjoyed playing the games they provided and watching the lightning bugs outside in the field. The beds were very comfortable, too!

Tatia was a great communicator, checked in with us during our stay to make sure things were good. The area was beautiful, very peaceful, friendly neighbors, so we enjoyed getting away! Thank you for everything!

Sara’s place was perfect for our stay and a lovely house in a great location! Thank you!

The best host, everything is very clean and the place is very nice

Alyse was very responsive and flexible with us when schedules changed. I appreciate her willingness to be accommodating. This was my 2nd time booking the "Wren House" and I will continue to look for future dates to return again. Nice little cottage with great amenities.

Great accommodations for the family (7 adults, 2 children, 2 dogs). Clean, well equipped, spacious, walkable to a small state park on the lake. Very peaceful neighborhood yet close enough to restaurants, marinas, etc. Great stay. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful area! Stayed for a quick trip for a wedding and the walkable trails were a fantastic bonus. Clear easy entry and instructions, cute and quaint place.

We had a great stay at Spirit Lake at Mama's Boathouse. The place was easy to find and the hosts quickly responded with any questions that we had. Beds were comfortable. It was a great place to cool off after spending all day in the heat.

Friendly and responsive, beautiful location with an amazing view and extremely comfortable beds.

Sara’s place was the perfect peaceful get away for me and my husband we will definitely be back!

Great stay with an even better view. Jaime’s place is right on the Mississippi River. The house was spotless and looked just like the pictures. It was fantastic place to stay for a getaway to Leclaire and the Quad Cities.

Had a great stay - everything was as described - we'd definitely rent again - Thanks!

This cottage was a great balance of both rural peace and quiet as well as easy travel to Indianola. The little porch next to the lake was the perfect spot for a peaceful cup of coffee. Ginny was easy to communicate with and responded quickly.

We were looking for a house that would house my whole family and be close to water for my sons and grandson’s to fish. While still having places for the girls to do crafts and play. The house its self was perfect, it was clean, and had everything we needed to prepare meals and have quality time as a family.
