Description

Step into History: Remodeled 1860s Stone House – Secluded Valley Getaway Near Chimney Rock.
Tucked in a private valley along Chimney Rock Road, this rare limestone stone home—built circa eighteen-sixty by pioneer settlers—is one of Iowa's oldest and best-kept from its time. Listed on the State Historic Preservation inventory, it's been completely remodeled inside while keeping that authentic rugged charm: thick stone walls, original character, modern comfort. Sleeps up toten comfortably—perfect for big family reunions or adventure crews.
The location Pure Driftless magic. You're right next to Chimney Rock Park and on the Upper Iowa River canoe access—launch kayaks or canoes literally from your doorstep. Paddle past towering limestone bluffs (those Palisades into Bluffton are unreal), fish for trout, or hike trails that feel worlds away. And it's only fifteen miles to Decorah's breweries, Nordic Fest energy, and fish hatchery.
Why you'll love it:
Ultra-private: 3 acres, no neighbors in sight—stargaze, grill, or just breathe. Hundred yards from pavement, but zero road noise.
Outdoor heaven: Kayak the river (National Geographic-level scenery), hike bluffs, fish, spot wildlife. Fall Golden leaves on the water—peak colors mid-October. Winter Snowshoe or cross-country ski nearby trails (Decorah grooms 'em), hunt deer in season, or snowmobile northeast Iowa's backroads.
Quick location perks:
Steps to Chimney Rock Bridge canoe launch—rentals at the campground next door.
Bluff views from your porch; river bends right below.
Day-trip easy: Decorah (15 min), Bluffton Palisades float (downriver wow). Ideal for nature nuts, paddlers, hikers, anglers—or anyone craving total peace.
