Weekend Trip to The Specialty Crop

The cabin at Specialty Crop is excellent. Clean, air-conditioned, quiet and stocked with water, towels and a coffee maker. Spacious enough for us 3 adults. Thank you Katie and Chris for a comfortable stay, the enjoyable outdoor shower, and good hospitality.

Weekend Trip to The Specialty Crop

This was our second stay at Specialty Crop but this time we carved out two nights to enjoy. The four of us arrived super late our first night and immediately fell into our comfy beds waiting for us. Our 17 and 20 year old girls LOVE sharing the bed in the tiny loft 😉. Sunday morning we were greeted by the adorable roosters, chickens and kitty cats while we sipped coffee on the front porch. It was a busy day moving our Augie girl into her dorm. We were blessed to have such a comfy place to return to. We enjoyed a lovely campfire and more snuggles from kitty cat, Chai and dog Runa before retiring a bit earlier for another glorious night of sleep. If I had to tell you what my FAVORITE part about this place was, it would most definately be the outdoor shower. It really is amazing!! Chris, Katie and their children are such amazing hosts and we love staying with them in their little cabin.

Weekend Trip to The Specialty Crop

Easily one of our best camping experiences! The little log cabin at Katie & Chris’s place was the perfect home base for our recent family trip to the Sioux River Folk Festival. We were welcomed with warmth and next-level hospitality, even while they were in the midst of tree cleanup after a major storm. The cabin was charming and well-appointed, and the queen bed was super comfortable! Our kids loved having their own space up in the loft and we all decided that we want to build our own outdoor bathhouse at home because the shower was so great! Chris and Katie have poured their hearts into their property and into providing an outstanding experience for guests. There are so many incredible reasons, both big & small, why we loved our stay at the Specialty Crop and we can’t wait to return! Thank you for making us feel like family!

We very much enjoyed staying in the cabin for a night while traveling across the country! The bed was the comfiest we had slept in during a month on the road! We were not only welcomed by the family, but by their feline friends as we relaxed on the porch in the evening. The outdoor facilities were easy to use, and I loved showering while listening to all the birds making their morning music. The hosts also have a few rv and tent sites, so the facilities are shared if there are other campers on the property. The cabin was welcoming, spacious, and comfortable. The only difficulty we had was knowing where and how to wash our dishes after having a meal. However, Katie was always responsive to our questions and was a wonderful hostess.

I couldn’t possibly speak more highly of this secluded little getaway. The hosts were very accommodating, welcoming, friendly, and brought a sense of peace, safety, and serenity. The communication was outstanding as soon as I reserved the cabin. The accommodations were beyond expectations and the location was beautiful. All of the critters were lovely to be around, especially their sweet little pup. The extras that they offer are outstanding and I wish I could have tried them all. I would suggest a few days stay - one day simply isn’t enough. You get well over your moneys worth and are guaranteed a great trip when booking with this absolutely incredible family. If I could go to this cabin weekly, you best bet that I certainly would!
