Blokhutten in Northeast Iowa

'The photos do not accurately represent this property's condition. We rented this home for a family vacation and were approved for an early 2:30 p.m. check-in.Upon arrival, the outdoor area was in a state of untidy and dirty neglect: dirty and broken patio furniture, a non-functioning grill, two broken pool filters, broken pool ladder, and a large pile of discarded inflatables under the pool deck. The hot tub was brown and murky following a chemical treatment and remained that way through the...

'We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The kids were able to go right down to the trout stream and fish. We were in the hot tub every night! We really appreciated the large living room with a lot of seating for our family. The only negative was the yard had not been mowed in quite awhile and the beds were absolutely terrible! We would definitely recommend they upgrade the mattresses. The main bedroom felt like we were sleeping on a box spring.'

'Just didn't read the "fine" print so just left and didn't stay and ate the over-priced fee.'

'Great place. Plenty of room for all 6 of us. Enjoyed all the amenities.'

'The house was beautiful and larger than we anticipated, so for a group of 12 it was perfect. The pool and hot tub both had crystal clear water and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay!'

'The hot tub and remote location was perfect for our stay.'

'We really liked our small little cabin. Hot tub was a definite bonus. The only thing I didn't love was the crowdedness of the sleeping area. Which I knew it would not be very big because of the small cabin itself, but it just seemed complicated to navigate. Of course we're not very young either.'

'This was a fantastic place to stay. The hot tub and sauna overlooking the river were both amazing. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. Great place if you’re traveling with a pet'

'Simple, spacious, clean & convenient! Gave our family plenty of space to hang out, eat, sleep and get ready the day. Bonus that colorful flowers were blooming on the hillside.'

'Good location, a bit noisier than I expected due to trains during the night and some construction. Close to Yellow River Forest, Effigy Mounds and Pikes Peak State Park. Comfortable furniture and bed. Kitchen area includes microwave and small fridge, no sink. Looked like a nice fireplace which I did not use. Shopping, but few restaurants of note on main street; a couple of bars and one gourmet store. Kwik Star right across the street which was convenient. Host was friendly and accessible.'

'Check in and out was really easy. A beautiful place! The cabin was comfortable and well stocked. Bellevue is my hometown and it is a wonderful place to visit and stay. The cabin is right on the Mississippi River. '

'We had a nice stay at Black Bear Cabin. Short distance to tourist attractions. Hot tub was enjoyed and the beds were comfortable. Some things that might help improve the stay for others would be: dish towels for easier kitchen clean up, ability to plug in deck lighting, hooks or shelving in rooms for towels and clothes, end tables in the queen bed rooms, and fresh batteries for basement remote. The kitchen had all the tools we needed for cooking. Great place for meditating and quality time. '
