Pulling into the driveway in your car, you enter your AirBnB through a private door on the side of the detached garage in the owner’s backyard. When you enter, you can see the entirety of the cozy loft in front of you, with the stairs to the lofted bedroom on the left and the living room, kitchen, and bathroom to the right. The white theme with wood accents and flooring make you feel welcome and right at home.
After you drop your stuff off, the host has a small notebook of useful check in/out information (wifi password, etc.) in the living room area, along with some comfy wicker chairs and an ottoman in front of a small flat-screen TV. The kitchen has silverware, a small fridge, a microwave, a toaster oven, a hot plate, and a nice sink to wash the dishes in. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with a modern shower head, towels, and several toiletries for guests. Since it’s winter, you may want to run the water for a minute or so to let it warm up.
Just a block away from the AirBnB is a nice park that lies in front of the Mississippi River, with miles of shoreline and paths to walk on and explore, including the Hidden falls.
