One of our favorite places to stay!
Charming little cottage in a great location. A true time capsule with tons to do in walking/biking distance. A good place to stay if traveling with a boat because of parking.

So Relaxing
Wonderful location with a spectacular screened in porch. Both mornings sat out there with my coffee and watched the sun rise over the Mississippi River while listening to a chorus of bird songs. Perfection!

Location is everything
Yes! You can see the Mississippi River from this property. And YES this property is adorable. It truly is like stepping back in time to the mid-twentieth century & it is neat as a pin. However, the way that this property was situated-- overlooking a busy parking lot next to the boat launch & public restrooms -- was not what we expected. Still, we enjoyed our stay.

This was a cute little place to stay. Was really nice to have all the necessities there. The screen room was my favorite. We also enjoyed the location since the river is right there. The train is very loud sometimes and runs often. Needs a few updates such as toilet guts/handle and some extra curtains throughout the home but overall was a great stop. Very beautiful location.

Mom and daughters weekend
This was a super clean and cozy cottage and we enjoyed our stay very much! The host made sure the home was equipped with anything we could have needed. She happened to be at the cottage upon our arrival so it was great to meet her and get a quick run down of the property. The screen porch and fire pit where we spent a great deal of time! A perfect place to relax, catch up and connect!!

Nice cabin in a quiet setting with access
The Spruce Haven cabin is very well maintained and clean. We spent a weekend there and the cabin is stocked with everything that you need. We didn't spend a lot of time there as we were out fishing and exploring the area, but while we were there we had plenty of room and were very comfortable. It's in a great location as you have access to downtown Bellevue that has dining options and the brewery and you aren't far from Dubuque which has other entertainment and dining options. I'd recommend the property to anyone interested in staying in the area.

cozy cottage
Our stay was great. The host was so nice and so easy to work with. She answered promptly and politely to all of our questions. The place was perfect for our family with a small child and an infant. The screened in porch was AMAZING. Our 5 year old lived outside from the time he woke up to the time he went to bed. The park down the hill was great for him and the short walk to the river was so convenient and beautiful. Basically exactly what we wanted!

A Cozy Cottage Celebration
We were looking for a place to celebrate our 47th anniversary during the pandemic while isolating ourselves due to underlying health conditions. Daily walks along the Mississippi, exploring a nearby state park, watching river traffic going through the Lock and Dam No. 12, and eating all our meals in the screened in porch while listening to birds was wonderful.

8/10 Good

Very enjoyable
Very well-kept cabin! We thought it was on the river with our own individual dock but that was not the case - it was more surrounded by other cabins, trailers, and houses and there wasn’t a beach or anything to really hang out by the water. It would be a great place if you have some water gear (boat, jet skis, kayaks, etc.)! Also, not far from Dubuque and a nice little area to get away! Would consider going back for sure!
