Great house for watching eagles on the river. Fantastic casual game room with lots to do. A lot of stairs, making it a challenge for elderly or small children. The house was well stocked. Very pet friendly.

Perfect get-away for a long weekend

We spent 90% of our time here on the shore of the Mississippi (aka the backyard) relaxing, fishing, watching the wildlife and the ships go by. This was a perfect long weekend get-away.

The house itself was very nice but the outside needs some TLC. The listing shows 2 bathrooms but in truth there is one full bath and a toilet with utility sink in the basement/game room area. The views were beautiful but sitting outside was not of interest
