Guests say we thought of everything and our place feels like home.

We chose layout, furnishings, accommodations, and supplies like our own family would gather there. The living room has a pocket door, turning the room into a fun hangout space for the group — or a quiet retreat when you need one. The kitchen flows into the dining area, so big groups can have a meal together — at the kitchen island, dining table, or both. Upstairs you will find washer/dryer, master (king) bedroom/full bath, and three bedrooms/full bath — bunk beds (double + single) for younger guests, plus queen and double beds, with sleeper sofas (queen and double) for extra sleeping space.

Out back, a large 27’x10’ deck seats all 13 guests, with a Blackstone grill for cooking as a group. The enclosed garage includes an EV charger for eco-conscious guests.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The house was perfect for our family event. We were close to Waverly for a Wartburg graduation, played pickle ball, and had a lovely day downtown. The house was beautiful and well outfitted for a large group. We had plenty of room to play games and enjoy each others company.

We made some wonderful memories at your memory maker home! Some of the things we enjoyed the most. Beautiful big porch, front and back. Fully stocked modern kitchen. Amenities for the little ones like a high chair, pack and play and baby toys. Central location for our family reunion and water park. There were 11 of us and there was Plenty of room for everyone. The host communicated well with us. Answered all questions we had in a timely manner. The home is beautifully updated but has an old world charm. We highly recommend the Memory Maker home!
