Mighty Mississippi River Retreat draws praise for its peaceful, riverfront setting with sweeping views and wildlife, a fun basement game room and fire pit, pet‑friendly touches, and generally clean, comfortable spaces supported by responsive, helpful hosts.
Guests like the quiet neighborhood and easy access to Quad Cities sights. Common cautions include a rough or muddy access road or driveway, beds that some found less comfortable, and a bathroom setup closer to 1.5 baths than two. Expect a relaxed, family-friendly river stay with plenty to do indoors and out.

We enjoyed our family getaway and were very comfortable during our stay. It was a lot of fun to watch the river roll by and have bald eagles for neighbors! The electronic pinball was a lot of fun. Many thanks.

The house itself was very nice but the outside needs some TLC. The listing shows 2 bathrooms but in truth there is one full bath and a toilet with utility sink in the basement/game room area. The views were beautiful but sitting outside was not of interest

Our plans were to check in and just enjoy the view from the home. The view was outstanding, even with all the leaves off the trees.. the sunsets were magical and the sunrises breath-taking. The row of windows facing the river allows all to enjoy the views even when it's a bit chilly out. We watched the river flow by and the the eagles fly overhead. But, wait, there is more! The inside of the house was immaculate with fun sprinkled all over. The 70's kitsch was nostalgic and the whole home is decorated warmly/comfy. Not only is there a full game room downstairs but the game closet upstairs is jammed packed of hours of games to play. We travel with our dog and the hosts provided food bowls, a large kennel and toys! There isn't much they didn't think of when it comes to vacationer's needs. Hosts were excellent assisting us with checking in and payments. Texts and emails were detailed. We highly recommend this property!

We had a nice family get together for Easter. The weather didn’t cooperate to be outside, but the game room in the basement provided for some friendly competition. We were able to bring our dog and enjoy the stay. The owners were quick to respond to any questions. The river view was great and we saw eagles.

What a great view of the Mississippi! We were greated with 5 eagles in the tree just acrosse the water. The property was clean and inviting. The bag of ice was a nice surprise for our beverages.There were 4 staying there but only 2 washclothes, so 2 more would have been nice. This is listed as a 2+ bathroom, but is actually a 1 1/2 bath. Be careful on the toilet in the basment as it has a wobble to it. One improvement would be to include what the breakfast that is available is at the house and where to located it. Also, our friends wanted to use the ceiling fan, but commented about the dust on it so they decided not to. Communication with the owner is beyond excellent! Thanks so much for letting us share your home on the Mississippi!

What a nice rental. Easy communication with the owners. Cottage had everything we needed AND video/pinball games. Perfect distraction during some very wet weather. When it wasn’t raining we took advantage of the Quad Cities and some of what they have to offer. Would return to Pleasant Valley and stay here again.

Overall a lovely experience - We were able to celebrate, take in the Midwest views, and enjoy neighborly company. The check in process was a bit “wonky”, but other than that we enjoyed our stay. The dryer doesn’t seem to completely dry what you need and could use an update. Downstairs game area is great, and the fire pit is an added bonus. The location is nice and the neighborhood is friendly. Would stay here again!

Great experience overall. As we walked in the the house it was clean and decorated for the holidays. The bottom floor was warm and our kids enjoyed all the games. The upper floor was clean, comfy and cozy and a great place to spend a few days away as a family.

The interior upper rooms are clearly modernized and updated. Very nice except cheap and uncomfortable mattresses for the beds. Very nice modern TVs up and downstairs. Dog crate and toy were in the lower level which was a nice touch. Owners very responsive and very easy to access the property with electronic locks. Water pressure for the shower is too low. Lower level is a basement/ game room. But in wet whether it’s so damp and musty you don’t want to spend time there. A de-humidifier needs to be running 24/7. Access to the actual building was impeded by massive muddy 3-5 inch deep puddles that were half the size of the sunken driveway. The owners provided rubber boots which is nice but nicer would be if they completed the gravel fill in to the driveway so you don’t have to put muck boots on to bring your luggage inside and to come and go from the property. To be fair there had been a lot of rain prior to and during our stay. But it seems reasonable that guests can access the front of the property without walking through a water logged muddy driveway and yard. Overall do not recommend until the driveway and water pressure issues are addressed.

This place was great! Lots of unique little corks, from the retro radio and throw back Nintendo to the full game room/bar downstairs. This place saved my friends and I a lot of money, it didn’t feel like we needed to go out on the town after our round of golf at Deer Run. I was happy to see any suggestions that other guests had for the owners did not go unnoticed. The owners had taken care of all of them. Thanks for a great place to stay and the best memories made!

This property was wonderful from the first moment we stepped inside. It's small enough that it feels cozy, yet roomy enough that it would be great for a small group. The game room was a huge hit with my husband and we both really enjoyed the views, especially seeing the tugs go through the lock on the river. It was also a very short drive to the Vibrant Arena, John Deere Pavilion and other attractions. The hosts were great & we will most definitely be back and will be recommending this place to our friends. Top Notch!!

With breathtaking views of the Mississippi this rental did not disappoint! The host was easily reached when I had a few questions. One of the nicest places I’ve stayed, I had a busy weekend planned and the Three Little Birds River House made me wish I had allowed more time to just relax at the rental. I found the Quad Cities to be delightful, so really, the only thing I would change when returning is planning a longer visit. Highly recommend:)

Overall a lovely experience - We were able to celebrate, take in the Midwest views, and enjoy neighborly company. The check in process was a bit “wonky”, but other than that we enjoyed our stay. The dryer doesn’t seem to completely dry what you need and could use an update. Downstairs game area is great, and the fire pit is an added bonus. The location is nice and the neighborhood is friendly. Would stay here again!

We so enjoyed staying here. A little nook of heaven right along the river. Hosts were amazing, very clean. The fire pit was the hook for us staying there and it was an amazing time sitting around the fire with a group of eagles playing along the river bank. Stay here!

Location
Waterfront setting with beautiful Mississippi River views and frequent wildlife, in a quiet neighborhood yet a short drive to Quad Cities attractions. Several reviews mention the access road or driveway can be rough or muddy, especially after rain.

Good location to get away but close enough to the farmers market, trails and a nice dog park.

We spent 90% of our time here on the shore of the Mississippi (aka the backyard) relaxing, fishing, watching the wildlife and the ships go by. This was a perfect long weekend get-away.

The interior upper rooms are clearly modernized and updated. Very nice except cheap and uncomfortable mattresses for the beds. Very nice modern TVs up and downstairs. Dog crate and toy were in the lower level which was a nice touch. Owners very responsive and very easy to access the property with electronic locks. Water pressure for the shower is too low. Lower level is a basement/ game room. But in wet whether it’s so damp and musty you don’t want to spend time there. A de-humidifier needs to be running 24/7. Access to the actual building was impeded by massive muddy 3-5 inch deep puddles that were half the size of the sunken driveway. The owners provided rubber boots which is nice but nicer would be if they completed the gravel fill in to the driveway so you don’t have to put muck boots on to bring your luggage inside and to come and go from the property. To be fair there had been a lot of rain prior to and during our stay. But it seems reasonable that guests can access the front of the property without walking through a water logged muddy driveway and yard. Overall do not recommend until the driveway and water pressure issues are addressed.

Only a couple hours from where we live in Illinois and easy to get to to. Road going in is a bit rough but the house is simple and good set up for a small family. Close to lots of restaurants and stores. Kids enjoyed the video games in the basement.

With breathtaking views of the Mississippi this rental did not disappoint! The host was easily reached when I had a few questions. One of the nicest places I’ve stayed, I had a busy weekend planned and the Three Little Birds River House made me wish I had allowed more time to just relax at the rental. I found the Quad Cities to be delightful, so really, the only thing I would change when returning is planning a longer visit. Highly recommend:)

This is exactly what we needed. Very cozy, cute place with more than enough room for all of us. The river is amazing and it was extremely quiet & relaxing. Other reviews have talked about the road getting in. We drove a truck so there was no issue there but one of the neighbors was actually out with his tractor filing in holes over the weekend. This has to be challenging given the location and weather they see here but we had zero issues. We look forward to going back again soon!

What a great view of the Mississippi! We were greated with 5 eagles in the tree just acrosse the water. The property was clean and inviting. The bag of ice was a nice surprise for our beverages.There were 4 staying there but only 2 washclothes, so 2 more would have been nice. This is listed as a 2+ bathroom, but is actually a 1 1/2 bath. Be careful on the toilet in the basment as it has a wobble to it. One improvement would be to include what the breakfast that is available is at the house and where to located it. Also, our friends wanted to use the ceiling fan, but commented about the dust on it so they decided not to. Communication with the owner is beyond excellent! Thanks so much for letting us share your home on the Mississippi!

Great communication! Everyone had a great time. The deck and couch on it were pretty beat up but we didn't use it that much. Wished the dock was open too. All in all a good time and great location!

Great house for watching eagles on the river. Fantastic casual game room with lots to do. A lot of stairs, making it a challenge for elderly or small children. The house was well stocked. Very pet friendly.
