We wanted just a short stay away from home and stumbled upon this property. I will warn others that west union is truly in the middle of nothing, however, everything we did was within an hour drive. The location of the cabin itself was easy to find but by the highway out of town so its a bit polarizing to the feel they are going for. You can hear the traffic and have lights at night that come by and take you out of the atmosphere a bit. Not too bad though. Besides the location the cabin itself was super charming and well set up. There was plenty of seating in the living area and the kitchen and bathroom had a lot of extra amenities for your use, such as teas, hot chocolate, oatmeal etc and extra tolietries in the bathroom.
We had one issue with the outlets in the kitchen and the owner was very quick to respond and super kind during our stay. There was a list of things to do in the area, wifi which was fantastic, and the decor really made the cabin feel like a cabin. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay and it was a good base camp to explore parts of Iowa we haven't seen. I'd recommend staying more during the season of May through October though so more things are open to do.
