As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip.

The northwestern corner of Iowa is one of the least-visited areas of the state, with large swaths of farmland and tiny towns before you get to the South Dakota border. However, hidden in this rural corner of the Hawkeye State, you’ll find what might be the state’s most spectacular vacation home rental in Lyon County, Iowa. A massive cabin on the Big Sioux River, we think this VRBO is easily one of the best places to stay in Iowa – and it’s not hard to see why! The beautiful exterior gives way to a sprawling hunting-lodge-inspired cabin that sleeps as many as 10 people. With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, it’s the perfect location for a full family reunion – especially if the family loves the outdoors, because you’re in one of the most beautiful spots in Iowa.
