The Big Muddy Bungalow was the perfect place for a quick weekend getaway! The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had all the equipment and utensils needed to cook a meal. The views of the Mississippi river were fantastic and the balcony was the perfect spot to sip coffee and watch boats. The location is great! Just a few steps to two local restaurants and a short drive to LeClair and Davenport. The host is fantastic about answering any questions you may have. Highly recommend!
