Cabin in McGregor

Welcome to our neck of the woods. Right across the road from Spook Cave sits a nice peaceful cabin with spacious outdoor area. Enjoy a nice fire or simply relax underneath the covered porch with a pond view. We are located near a train track so don’t be alarmed if one goes by. It actually is pretty neat to see in the dark as your sitting by the fire. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we love it. Feel free to ask any questions. Nathan, Genna Welch

River View Upstairs Apartment in Clayton

SusanRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Mandi’s place is ideal for a couple or a small family or two couples. Plenty of room, two bathrooms with tub and shower. Kitchen that is very functional for eating in. Nice deck to watch the boats and people enjoy the Mississippi, a nice yard, privacy if you want it. Also, Mandy and her business partner are very gracious, approachable hosts. We came once, just my husband and I and then again with our son, daughter in law and their two toddlers and it was lovely both times.

Dam River Penthouse

ChristineRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What an absolutely gorgeous apartment. We fell in love the moment we walked through the door. Be aware: there are a LOT of stairs. It is mentioned in the listing but my husband and I swore the stairs multiplied and grew steeper each time we went upstairs. This is NOT a complaint. It's something to be aware of. The view from the porch is extraordinarily beautiful. The beds are EXTREMELY comfortable (especially the King sized one downstairs). The whole place was AMAZINGLY clean. The town folks are VERY friendly and nice. The town does close everything down pretty early and there are no nearby big box stores or drugstores that are open late. Again, not a complaint (I actually love the Mom and Pop aspect) but people should know. We loved this Airbnb so much we are already planning a return trip!

Riverfront Unit #1 'Claytonian Inn'

DanielRating, 5 stars11 months ago

I was honestly shocked. This location is an exceptional location to get away and lose yourself or just have a little respite for a few days. Looking forward to it again and maybe bring the boat. Finally, the hospitality was endless. Thank you for operating such a location.

Acreage on the River

TinaRating, 5 stars8 months ago

A great view from the deck and peaceful. A nice location close to town but far enough away you feel secluded. We saw several deer on the property and tugboats go down the river from the deck. The home is older, clean and has everything you would need for a getaway. We had a great time visiting Effigy Mounds, Wyalusing State Park and Pikes Peak State Park all in close driving distance.

Mississippi Riverfront Home

DanielleRating, 5 stars1 week ago

A lot smaller than it looks in the pictures, but it served it's purpose. Nice big yard and cute little beach area. Wish there were couch pillows to make it a little cozier. Host was proactive with instructions for arrival and departure. Overall, our stay was good.
