Guttenburg is a beautiful little river town, definitely far from sleepy! We were taking our adult and teenage kids for a quick getaway before we all head back to school and decided we wanted a centralized location to all of the National monuments, state parks, and attractions that we wanted to see on the Eastern side of the state. Guttenburg was a perfect location for this and the house was absolutely perfect for the 6 of us. It has been updated beautifully and the host has provided some fun, relaxing amenities to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. Everything we wanted to see was within an hour and a half drive so we planned each days outing around this. We also enjoyed roaming around the town in the evenings and had some great meals in town. Our only regret is that we didn't realize the Fish Shack was closed on Tuesday and Wednesdays which is where we really wanted to eat before heading home. Watching the barges go through the Lock and Dam was also very interesting. We will be back!!
We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and he comfort of this VRBO. The owner is very responsive and we will definitely return.
Had several options for fun things to do close by. Place was spotless! ONLY complaint (that can't be controlled by the owners anyway) is the train tracks. We decided to stay here even knowing about the tracks but unfortunately we learned we're not the people to sleep through them! Beds were very comfortable and had no problems with cooking all weekend.
Cute little property with ample parking. Updated & very clean. The house had everything we needed. Plus good water pressure in the shower. Beds were comfortable too. The trains were loud but we got used to it by the 2nd night & we could not get internet in the room with twin beds. Overall, a good experience & we would definitely consider staying again.
The place was great. My only complaint was the train and train horn. This was mentioned in the listing but something to consider if you have light sleepers!
The place was very clean and we enjoyed our stay and will stay there again if we are in the area.
Property is very clean and updated. Nice central location. Very close to train tracks, but you hear them everywhere in Guttenberg so not a big deal. Great communication with owner.
Everything was exactly as described or pictured. All was very clean and well maintained. The layout and space was very well designed and more than comfortable for the two of us, and easily would have accommodated a family of four. The proximity to the railroad was no big deal. I rather enjoyed the trains that passed. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we were to return to the area. A big thank you to the host.
Very good stay.
Great spot for the guys to crash after fishing every day. Accommodations worked out great. We’ll definitely stay again, but will probably bring a fan or two for a little background noise to help drown out the train a bit… just forgot to throw them in this time. Great price for a nice place:)
It's named the Depot and clearly shows it is next to the train tracks. At $85 a night, it was a deal. You just have a few trains going by that will shake the house, but I was able to wave at the conductor from my bed. Beds were comfy. Extra linens in closet. Plenty of room to sprawl. Used grill and fire pit with no problems. Absolutely would stay again! Plenty of parking. Close to the River walk.
Jeff's house is so cute and homey and extremely clean! My son has loved trains since he was a toddler and still does, so being close to the tracks was such fun for us! The town is pretty, easy drive to launch your boat on the Mississippi. Love walking to the little coffee shop! Easy drive to other towns. I really don't have anything negative to say, the house is well stocked in kitchen, bathroom and plenty of blankets. We really enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed our stay. Very clean and well maintained. We cooked in for our meals and the only suggestion I have is that there be a few staples on hand. We did enjoy the can of nuts though! Thanks for a relaxing weekend.
No problem but worried about only 1 door to exit.
This place is beyond one of the BEST on all levels VRBO stays ever!! They go way beyond everyone’s needs! They had everything there!! Let’s just say my teenage kids want to come back!! The house has made me want my own little house like that! Thank you for everything!!
This place inside was extremely clean and new looking. Plenty of parking and easy to find. Only downfall is the railroad track that runs right behind the place. The train runs rather frequently. Granted any place located in Guttenberg is basically going to heat the train. Overall this a Wonderful place to stay. Will be looking at staying again here when in the area.
Very comfortable home- had plenty of extra towels, blankets etc. Clean and updated. There IS regular train activity very close to the house. It wasn’t a problem for us after the first night- we adjusted to it quickly. The town is very nice- a great pizza and ice cream spot downtown we enjoyed. If we’re in the area again we plan on staying here again!
Had everything we needed
Room to spread out with a family group. Extra throws provided in the living room were great. Golf game provided entertainment for young & old. Easy walk to the river front. Would definitely stay again!
Very relaxing and beautiful area. Will definitely be back.
The price was great and we rather drive a short distance than stay in a hotel. We can pack less since we can wash and cook in a house.
