The gorgeous private lake, golf course, indoor pool, snow tubing hill with a tow rope to drag you and your tube up the hill, the lodge, and equestrian center. It's year around fun no matter what your interests are. It's very small town for Chicagoans, but the friendliness and sense of community almost feels movie-like. I really love this place.

They were even able to pull through on a special request that we had for a closed-bottom tube for my sister, who was pregnant and could not be submerged in the water during the trip. Not to mention that the trip along the river is just gorgeous!! We are not local, but would definitely make the trip back for another trip, and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!

I wanted to give them a flavor of Iowa and show them the mighty Mississippi river. Unfortunately, I gave them a bad flavor of Iowa. The experience was not at all what I expected. I had thought we would have a nice dining experience with wait staff, classy music, and good decor. Instead, the boat interior was very dated, it smelled of smoke embedded in the carpet and walls from years past, and the dinner was a buffet line. The foot was alright, but nothing great. The worst part of it all-- the entertainment was an old bluegrass/country/folk singer who played noisily over an old, cracking speaker system. We couldn't hear anything we were saying to each other and the music was not good. His guitar work was decent, but he certainly could not carry a vocal tune. Finally we decided just to ditch the dining area and go on top of the boat for views of the river and valley. It was nice up there, but the exhaust from the old diesel engines was quite strong. There's no getting around that (it was an old river boat) and I don't fault them for it. But still, it nauseated my wife. We didn't want to go back downstairs to the noise, and so we just waited out upstairs until the trip was finally over. This is definitely targeted towards older, retired couples who want value experiences and a buffet meal before they head back to the casinos. I do not recommend.
