Text the group chat and pack your poles, it's time for a fishing trip 🎣

The river is super clear right now and the weather is beautiful!

We are located right on the Upper Iowa River where you will find small mouth, walleye, northern, and more! Float the river or fish the banks.

Nearby trout streams include Bear, Patterson, and Waterloo Creek. Trout map available herehttps://northeastiowarcd.org/wp-content/uploads/Allamakee-County-Trout-Guide-Web.pdf

It's time to cast a line 🎣

Pull up a chair 🪵🔥

We fell in love with these comfy adirondack style chairs, and now you will find them around the fire pit at each of our signature cabins.

They are the perfect spot to kick back, relax, and enjoy a cozy evening by the fire.

Leave your camping chairs at home - we've got you covered!
