What a one-of-a-kind, magical place atop the majestic Mississippi River! The stunning, sweeping views surely make you feel like an eagle so the place is well named. The sunrises are breathtaking & the moonlight river is surreal. Add to that the variety of autumn colors we saw during our October stay & it makes for a truly unforgettable & special experience. But even more special is the fact my 96 year old beautiful Mother got to return to stay above the very scenic overlook she had a professional photographer take a picture of her after the summer she graduated from high school in 1948 an amazing 77 years earlier! Furthermore, coming a 2200 mile journey from Malibu, California where she now lives with me (her daughter), was quite a homecoming indeed! Thank you, Eagle's View Owner & Staff for making our "homecoming" the trip of a lifetime! 🙏 🌈

A gem on the hill

Do yourself a favour: on your way to the Motel, stop at the Kwik Star and get some snacks and your favorite beverage. Get to the hotel, check in with the friendly, knowledgeable staff, then take your snacks and beverages to the overlook. You'll be there for a while. A long while. Cute, clean, quiet, AMAZING view that you'd never expect in Iowa. Well worth the visit.

We got there later at night. No lights to see our room number. Bed was stiffer than the floor. No extra blankets. One thin comforter. Thank god my husband and I brought blankets. The walls so thin that we couldn't sleep because of whoever was next to us was loud. TV kept cutting in and out. Hot water did not stay hot very long. After a long day of driving it was a pure disappointment considering all we wanted to do is relax in comfort. Also not having an onsite person to get a hold of is very inconvenient.

Cute little motel, great view. A little outdated but we don't mind as long as it's clean! The bed though.....very hard and uncomfortable. For that reason we probably won't stay again. Otherwise we would!

I cannot rate this property since I did not actually stay there. I was under the impression it was "on the river", when actually it is "overlooking the river". The person who called me about my "no show" rated the property quite highly and said it is a "must see to appreciate". Maybe next time?!

Stayed here 6 times now. Panoramic View is unbeatable. No Management or staff on site, never been a problem. Code for door. If U are a light sleeper beware busy train line right beneath the Motel,, It is on a bluff, train blows its horn all the way thru Guttenberg, There are lots of crossings without gates. I am light sleeper also. Just go back to sleep,

Wow, let me start with say i owe this place a apology. When i first booked the room I said its a basic hotel/motel with a great view. Boy was i wrong! Thos place is breath taking yes the view was a huge part of the stay bit the beds were comfortable the rooms were clean. There was a sauna 😳. Rhe fire pit came with everything one needed to build a fire and enjoy the night. They have a grill and bags tfor entertainment. Id recommend this place to my mom to my co workers to my siblings and many more. It is a beautiful hidden gems. Thanks for the amazing peaceful resets.
