    The host was very responsive and respectful. The cabin is cozy and stocked as expected. We found lots to do in downtown Columbia, cute shops, resturants and friendly people! We've already talked about booking our next stay!

    It was an amazing cabin. 1 issue to be aware of is that the internet was a bit spotty for me. And the second thing to not is if you’re a big person, I’m 6’3” 250ish, the shower is a bit narrow. Completely functional and well thought out just something to note.It is in an awesome location. It is pretty close to the center of the city, but because it’s in between an alley and a main street it is very, very quiet, and it was awesome. The cabin has some amazing touches, and you can tell that it has been lived in and well loved.

    We loved visiting the town of Waterloo! So many great restaurants and bars to visit. We also did a short drive to Salt Lick to do some hiking. The Timberwolf Cabin was perfect for the two of us. Easy to get to anywhere in Waterloo from this awesome little cabin!! We plan on coming back again soon!!Also our hostess (Rika) was super accommodating, helping us with a scheduling conflict. Thank you for letting us enjoy your cabin Rika!! We had a great time!

    Quiet little cabin in a very good location. It’s in the center of town but feels like you’re in the countryside. Once you drive off the property, all the convenience of retail stores are minutes up the road.Definitely a one or two person stay. We loved the phone-booth shower!

    Very nice and relaxing stay. Property was exactly as listed and did not disappoint at all! Great location the downtown waterloo and about 30 mins away from STL. Accommodations were great and so was Rika! We even ran out of propane on the grill at 10 pm and it was replaced even before we woke up the next morning. Highly recommended, we will be staying there again!

    We came to Waterloo to visit family for Christmas. We always wanted to stay in a log cabin. This one didn’t disappoint. We loved everything about it! The bed was so comfortable, we slept in every single day! The owners were very easy to get ahold of. Great experience all around!

    We really enjoyed our stay in Waterloo. The cabin is well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Because it is a cabin, the windows are small so there is less natural light, but the place offers good privacy. All entrance access and directions were clear and accurate.

    This is our second time staying in this wonderful cozy cabin. For a small space it feels so large inside and that is because the owners have done an amazing job of laying it out. There is every creature comfort you need, as well as a wonderful table outside and a firepit with seating area to enjoy this picturesque small town. Everything was very clean. We will be back as soon as we can!

    We had a great stay in Waterloo at the cabin! We were there just for a quick, two-night trip. The cabin is so cozy and quaint. It is super clean, and I loved the decor! Check-in and check-out were very straight forward. Very easy to get to and parking is very convenient, just a few steps away from the front door. It is just a few minute walk from downtown Waterloo and a very easy drive back and forth to the STL Airport. Rika was a pleasure to talk to and work with. I highly suggest this property if you find yourself in Waterloo!

    Well built log cottage is a reminder of days gone by. Thick square hewn log walls make for a cozy, quiet stay. Close to historic Waterloo. Very comfy bed, well equipped place to escape to. Greatly enjoyed our stay.
