Great Weekend Stay

The cabin was clean and ready when we arrived. The owner, Steve, stopped by and made sure we had everything for our stay. We explored the pond, listened to the small creek that runs thru the property, and went riding on the trails. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend and look forward to going back and checking out one of the other cabins.

Great place to go riding!

We always have a blast when we come here! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and bringing my family here and my friends over the years has always been the best time! There are a bunch of trails and the best mud hole ever! The kids really loved the open spots to ride and they loved doing donuts in the mud! The cabins are so nice and have almost everything you need for a good weekend away in the middle of no where ❤️❤️

Great getaway

The place was clean and our family enjoyed the convenience of walking out our front door and jumping on the riding trails. A variety of good trails to ride. We also enjoyed fishing at the pond. A nice quiet getaway. The owner was great to work with, super nice. Will definitely stay again and recommend!

Relaxing stay in nature

Maquoketa caves state park was on pur bucket list to stay and I wanted a cabin with firepit and bonus if it had a whirlpool tub to soothe our muscles after hiking. This checked all the boxes for us. We especially liked that there were 2 beds...one felt more firm and the other more soft like ours at home. We were entirely comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

We had a nice, quiet weekend. A few hiccups but owner, Steve, came out and took care of the issues, even though we told him it was okay. Definitely make sure you bring groceries with you. Grocery, in Bellevue, is about 12 miles away. Double check cabin has all the amenities expected/listed. Well stocked with dishes, utensils and pans but a crock pot would be an added bonus, especially if staying the week. Needs a table by couch or a TV tray and a table or floor lamp by the couch- dark corner.

Remote but cozy

This property was extremely remote! The cabin was exactly as advertised regarding the property. We were not able to use the trails or fish due to the rainy weather but thoroughly enjoyed the peace and solitude . The large jetted tub was awesome! Would recommend bringing your own food for simple meals due to distance back to town and rough lane in and out of the property. ATVs, used by others at dusk were loud and annoying as they circled our cabin. Great getaway off the grid if this what you are looking for.

Smaller Cabin stay

It was very nice. It’s a smaller cozy cabin. Steve was very nice I spoke to him a couple times during the stay. The jacuzzi tub was very big and the beds were very very comfortable. The Internet did work but went out a couple times but was back on within a couple minutes. Not a make or break point. The pond was nice the kids were slipping rocks across it. There is a big open field below the cabin with volleyball but I did not use it due to weather. The kids enjoyed playing on the playground equipment there as well. Overall very nice management and place to stay. Would recommend and will go back in the future.

Remote getaway

Steve sent us a text, informing us of checkin info and personalizing the experience. He also stopped in to say hello and made sure we had our questions answered for our stay. He offered some suggestions upon request. We had a pleasant conversation! The info and pictures on the site were accurate. We didn’t ride ATVs or do the golfing (the grass was still too high), but did enjoy fishing. The area is so remote…aka peaceful (a few miles on gravel to be off the beaten path and be secluded in the woods). Restaurants are 10-15 min away or bring your own food and no need to go anywhere! Thanks for providing the nice getaway…and de-stress!

It is everything it shows. Beautiful peaceful area, nice cozy cabin, and pleasant owner. My husband and son had a wonderful time on our ATV driving on the trails each day even when they got stuck in the mud. Even our small pup had a good time going for a walk and we also walked along the Mississippi River about 15 minute drive and had ice cream at Grandpas Parlor in Bellevue. We will definitely be back another day at Whispering Meadows Resort

Remote relaxing weekend

We LOVED staying here. Went for a long weekend. The owner Steve was extremely nice and helpful. There was a pond to fish, tons of trails to hike, and even a river with beach area. We took our dogs and hiked everywhere. If you have ATVs this would be perfect for you but even without them we had an amazing time. Hiking by day, grilling and fire by night. Also, the bath tub looks small in the pictures but it is massive and worked wonderfully. Thank you Steve, we can’t wait to come back!

Great getaway - even in the winter!

This was a nice retreat for a winter weekend. We had the whole place to ourselves and had a chance to walk around the woods in the area. It's a basic place, but you can tell the owners have put a lot of TLC into it and are very responsive to any questions we had. This included the surprise snow that occurred while we were there and we weren't sure about getting out in our front-wheel-drive car. The owner plowed the road and ensured our safe departure the next day. Thank you!
