With five adults, the space was good. Towels and kitchen furnishings were adequate. Furnishings were comfortable although the downstairs bed and small sofa are rather soft. We experienced small problems with the dish washer, ants, and rainwater leakage.

This place was great! Fantastic location in a quiet neighborhood. Close to the downtown and the hospital/college but far enough away to not have all of the noise. We absolutely loved the house, it was so cute. Communication with the property owner was fantastic. We will likely book this location for our next visit.

Convenient and quiet location, felt very safe. Property could use some love as far as updating and yard maintenance. Clearly there’s some years of wear and tear, but somewhat expected in a college town. A fresh coat of paint and new furniture would go a long way though.

My husband and I stayed in this lovely home for the weekend. We were visiting our daughter and son-in-law who live nearby but don’t have a guest room. The house is in a quiet, well-established neighborhood convenient to everything we wanted to do. It was clean and well-maintained and had clear, easy directions. We will look for this house again the next time we visit.

Comfy place to stay for the night

Everything was as presented and we found it clean and very comfortable. Our family had come in for a wedding in Kalona, and this was our lodging for one night. No one had a single complaint. :) We found the furnishings comfortable and having 2 bathrooms was a blessing. We'd certainly recommend this rental to anyone else.
