The Shop

My sister and I stay in lots of VRBOs, and we agree that this may be the best one we have ever stayed in. Everything was excellent. Great kitchen, great bathroom with washer and dryer, two bedrooms with very comfortable beds, great deck with a view of the river, great selection of movies to watch. We slept with the windows open. It was nice and cool. There was really no outside noise (who has ever been in a town with no traffic noise). We were close to the river, close to a hotel with wine and happily, close to an ice cream shop. Wish it was closer to us so we could stay again.

Great place to stay

This is a wonderful place to stay and we highly recommend it. Nice touches like a personal note and muffins, plenty of coffee pods, detergent to run a load of laundry, all added to the very pleasant experience. The deck has a lovely view of the river. Very nice!

Great location and the nicest facility.

It's got a great location, quiet overlooking the Des Moines River. Sitting on the attached deck was very relaxing. Interior, the decor was well executed, very complete place to stay. Four could easily stay here a month comfortably. Another thing that impressed me was the completeness of the kitchen, some places say they've got a complete kitchen when they've got four knives spoons forks, four plates, four glasses. This location has plenty of not only plates but a reasonable selection of condiments and spices. Overall, Band-Aids and disposable razors. Maybe the best way of saying it is our hosts wanted us to feel like family visiting. And I felt welcome because of it. It's mentioned in the description but remember you do have steps to go up, the unit is on the second floor. There are hand railings on both sides, stairs are stable and it's well lit. Parking is easy and very accessible. If this was a chain I'd stay there all the time.

Can I give more than 5 stars?

I booked my trip and immediately received a message from the property owner, Bev. She was kind, sweet and provided me with the check in process and, location. Once I arrived, the rental was exactly as described and pictured only...better if thats possible. The pictures do not adequately provide how spacious and immaculately clean the apartment is. I was able to check in with ease and received a charming hand written note with a little introduction, tips, her phone number in case I needed anything and freshly baked treats, which were welcomed and appreciated after a long trip with several hiccups in my journeys. I looked around the apartment and the place was spotless. The decor was charming, and very tastefully done. It was warm, welcoming and comfortable. It felt like home away from home! The snacks and stocked K cups were a wonderful touch as well. Because of the cold weather, I didn't get out on the deck as much as I wanted but the view of the river was beautiful, tranquil and peaceful. The beds were amazingly comfortable and I slept like a dream! The stocked toiletries were also a welcomed touch. I wish I could give 100 stars. Not only for the quality of the apartment itself but for the kindness, great communication and how welcome the hosts made me feel. I can't say enough great things about the property or hosts. I will absolutely be revisiting. Thank you Bev and Jeff for making my stay memorable for all the right reasons.

What a great place to stay! This place was not our first choice but our other place was already booked, with that said THE SHOP is now the first choice anytime we go back. We enjoyed coming in from hunting during the day, cleaning up and being a short walk to great local restaurants and taverns. Once we get drawn again to hunt I will be booking THE SHOP way in advance.

Very cute home away from home.

We enjoyed our stay, the property had everything we needed for our long weekend. The home was clean and matched the description in the listing. The entrance to the home requires you to climb a full set of stairs and may not be suitable for someone who has trouble walking. I would also advise to sleep with bedroom doors open as heating/cooling is only in the main part of the home. Overall we would rent again! Thank you!

Loved everything about "The Shop"!!!

Exactly what we were looking for! The proximity to downtown was perfect, the private 2nd-story deck overlooking the river was amazing, and the facilities were clean & comfortable. I grew up in Keosauqua and visit every few years, and The Shop will definitely be my go-to place to stay from now on!
