It was a cute, quaint little place with a gorgeous view of the Mississippi. The room was clean and cozy. The beds were comfy and the room decor was very nice. It wasn't a real big room, but it was fine for the two of us. We would definitely stay there again.

The view of the Mississippi River from our room was amazing! The keycode room entry and the ability to skip check-in and check-out made everything quick and convenient. The room was well equipped with a coffee maker, microwave, and a small dorm-style refrigerator, which was a nice bonus. Overall, it was a great stay!

The check in was strange. It’s “no contact” so there is no staff on sight. We arrived at 7pm and the place was completely deserted, which was unnerving. We got into our room with a code for the door. The room was clean. Bed was a little uncomfortable and the bathroom is small but, the view was pretty and being the only ones at the hotel, we sat outside and played our guitars under the stars and enjoyed ourselves very much.

Beautiful property and well-maintained. We booked through Expedia and didn’t get the room that we thought we were so it was a little bit of tight quarters. Otherwise, everything was amazing and the views were stunning!!!

My boyfriend and I stayed here during our weekend getaway. Our room was clean and ready early for us, we asked if we could have a early check-in and the manager reached out to us stating we could. The nice lady that was cleaning up the rooms and property, happily greeted us and showed us to our room. The air worked great, we had hot days while we were there and much needed to come "home" to. I can't say enough about the view, it was breathtaking. Waking up in the morning to see the water and sunrise, beautiful. I think being up that high and overlooking the water was the real treat! Much needed tranquility for us both, we didn't want to leave! If I could recommend a place to eat, Driftwood Diner, we ate there 3 times! So yummy! We will be back!

Eagle View operates essentially like an Air BnB. You won't see any staff, and you will check in by way of code. The property has lovely views, and our room was clean and comfortable. It was also very quiet. Be aware that if you rent the cottage, you are renting the backside of the laundry -- with a view of the parking lot. Nevertheless, it's such a lovely area that you probably won't be spending much time in your room. The view over the river is incredible, and the bird life in the area is a treat. Yes, you will view eagles!
