Our stay at Grey Cloud Island was absolutely magical. The property is stunning and provided a serene location for our three-generation family reunion. The Mississippi River was the backdrop for our family to spend beautiful time together. Christina is the hostess par excellence. Besides for being extremely communicative and responding to all of our questions and requests, she went above and beyond in so many ways. She even left a fun-filled scavenger hunt for our children, that kept them so entertained. They LOVED It. And the house is so well equipped for children of all ages, with games, toys, books, outdoor equipment – you name it, it was there. The kitchen also, is fully equipped and stocked with whatever you might need.The house was absolutely clean and so beautifully decorated. The bathrooms are all new and fresh and clean. There is much space and there are so many places to just sit and relax, inside and outside of the house – to gaze out at the river and enjoy the scenic peaceful views. One of the favorite pastimes for our children was waiting and watching for the barges to come down the river which happened at least 2 to 3 times a day. If there was a possibility of giving more than 5 stars, I would totally rate this property as such. And if VRBO gave out a Most Gracious Hostess Award, I would nominate Christina. She was the reason our stay was so enjoyable. This is a fantastic property. I recommend it highly.
