Fantastic!!!
We had a great time. This is a very unique house with a beautiful, peaceful view. We saw a few bucks around. The house had a few Christmas decorations and it just felt so comfy and homey. We would definately stay here again.

3 night nobody but us 72 year olds.
Very interesting “cabin”. 113 degree heat index, upon arrival, the AC was running and the inside temp was wonderful. Maybe could have used a couple of glasses, and a couple of chairs on the deck. It appeared to be still a work in progress in the lowest (basement) level, but for the two of us the two upper levels were more than enough. Comfortable bed. The interior appeared to be newly finished. I liked the interior. Maybe a little outsmarted by the smart tv, but the wifi allowed good access using my ipad. Quiet spot…reasonably isolated, interesting area to explore. I smiled at “park in the driveway” more like park by the front door. I was happy with the choice…no disappointments.

Great place to stay
Very quiet and tranquil location with views of the Mississippi River. Plenty of room for our family of 4 and our dog. Nice size bedrooms with comfortable beds. Enjoyed coffee every morning on the screened porch. The cabin is also within close proximity to various fishing spots and some very good restaurants.

Family get-a-way
My husband, two young adult kids and I had a mini vacation at the Cozy Ridge Retreat. The cabin is beautiful and spacious, with plenty of room to play games and do puzzles together. The beds were comfortable and cozy. The porch is a gem, what an amazing view! We needed to reach out to the owner of the cabin with some questions, and he responded so quickly and was very helpful. We hope to return soon for a longer stay to enjoy the driftless area!

Awesome cabin in the woods!
Stayed here for my husband's birthday! The cabin is in the woods. Was fun to watch the deer and turkey every morning on the screened in deck! The cabin is beautifully decorated and very clean!
Only one thing was if you are big coffee drinkers the coffee pot only makes 2 cups at a time. I would suggest a regular size coffee pot. There was only 2 of us so was no big deal.
I realize this cabin is a new rental but some mixing bowls would be a nice addition to your kitchen. It is close to alot of boat ramps if your there for fishing.
The host Mike was awesome through the whole process from check-in to check-out. He was very responsive when i had questions.
Overall it is 5 stars on my scale.
