Amazing location of the house along the Mississippi River, with very easy access to the lovely dirt roads in the region for gravel bicycle riding. The house was amazingly quiet except for when the train was passing through, but if the windows are closed, the train noise is very much minimized. The kitchen has everything you need to make simple meals, and the garage was an amazing place for us to work on our bikes.
