Shine On
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Become emersed in nature and sunshine, and even fall into a relaxing trance. With out without the aid of Pink Floyd.
Before the fervor of summer plans begins, take a little break. The shimmer of the sun off the Mississippi river as seen from the windows at Bayside Hideaway - our modernized cabin vacation rental - sets a tone of tranquility and relaxation.
Book a stay here at our reduced introductory spring rate. If you’re local to the area let visiting friends and family know about this great hideaway along the river with its own access to a private bay, surrounded by water on 2 sides only steps away!.
Whether visiting or local, check out some of the events and activities below that are going on nearby this week.
