Anniversary
We had a very nice, relaxing stay at this property. It's a nice layout with a large deck and a small playhouse detached from the primary home. It would be perfect for kids. It does not have a whirlpool which was no problem for us. There was a pontoon boat at the end of a very short peer which would have made it difficult to get the canoe in the water so we elected not to try it as it was a very rocky shore and we're kind of old.. The sunsets were beautiful as advertised. There was a pretty steady stream of pontoons going up and down the river. Quite a bit of activity. Over all, we enjoyed ourselves and I think we would return in the future.

In town for work
We were in town for work and decided to pick Tracy’s place to add some relaxation to our week. It’s a lovely location right on the river. We had to message Tracy about the check in process - she did not initiate that message. She never check in with us at all during our stay, or near the end, or after. I understand that we were right on the river, but mosquitos buzzing in my ear at night is not my idea of relaxing. There were also black wasps? inside the house.. we killed 2 and then didn’t see anymore. We didn’t like that there was no laundry, so we’re glad it wasn’t a longer stay where we couldn’t clean our clothes. The kitchen is tight and cramped, no room to cook a nice meal. For our purposes, we probably wouldn’t stay again. But for a getaway for others it would be ok.

Cozy river cottage with everything you need!
We had an awesome stay. The house is decorated very well, clean and comfortable for the family. The deck and bonfire pit made for great morning coffee and evenings by the fire. Beautiful views between the river and a great horse ranch across the street. Couldn’t ask for more and we’ll be back.

Sweet little river gem!
My husband and I, along with our 2 dogs, came to town to visit family for the holidays. This home was perfect for us! Such a great location on the river with easy access to shops and restaurants. Loved how cozy it felt and the deck off the back is amazing. The property owners were super responsive and easy to work with - we really appreciated their flexibility! If you are coming to Moline, you won't regret your stay here. We hope to come back again soon!

Loved the river
We came for a football game in Iowa. The house was cozy for the five of us. We attended a game at University of Iowa most of one day of our stay. When we returned back to the house, we watched more football. Good times. In the morning before we left, we went kayaking! Overall, it was great! Thanks.

I can’t say enough good things about this house! It’s super cute, quite, relaxing and just a wonderful place to stay! The owners checked in on us half way through our stay to make sure we were comfortable and didn’t need anything. I stayed a week in this house with my uncle and two dogs and we didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be back!

Sunset Vacation Home
A truly great place. The house was so clean and had so many amenities including a fully stocked coffee bar, selfie station, dog bedding and kayaks. My favorite part was the yard and deck. There is also a fully furnished All-Season room. Plenty of deck space and seating. Also supplied with firewood. The sunsets on the river are gorgeous as well as the full moon rising. Loved this house. The host is very quick to response, we met the neighbor, Buck, and the house was very easy to find.

This is an amazing property and location. It is so close to everything I wanted to do while visiting and yet in a very private neighborhood. I will only stay here when I come back to visit family and friends. The owners communication was prompt and professional and everything you need is provided! Five star for sure!

Great river retreat.
This property is great for a relaxing couple of days on the river. The deck is giant and amazing. While the kitchen is small, if you're planning on grilling out, it's not an issue at all. The windows on all sides really let the river breeze and view shine! We would absolutely come back.

Great Stay On The River!
I took my wife and teen children here for my wife’s birthday! Lots of great things to do in the Quad Cities, but she loved this property the most about our whole trip! It is located right on the edge of the Rock River providing a fun and relaxing environment. The home has had many great updates, and the owners provided games to play and a record player. The home is full of windows to enjoy the sunshine. The huge deck and sunroom were the best part and a pleasant surprise! Must see to appreciate. Tracy was very helpful in answering questions and the check in and check out procedures were a breeze. My wife wants to go back!
