"We appreciated the spaciousness and location of the property. The kitchen is very functional and the induction cooktop is terrific. The online photos showed a kitchen table that seats 6, but actually only had 4 chairs. Otherwise there were few surprises. All in all the stay was very pleasant."

Lake MacBride Cabin & State Park! Near Amana Colonies, Iowa City & Cedar Rapids
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (213)
"My family had a different reason for seeking peace on our trip to the area. We were in town for a family funeral, and this little piece of heaven was exactly what we needed. The cabin was very welcoming, had what we needed, and had the peace that was very welcomed during this difficult time. We were close to events and family in Solon, but had a quiet, peaceful place to let down. The lake was a short walk from the property, with a convenient trail for walking, running, and enjoying nature."
