We stayed over Christmas as I was recivering from a total right knee replacement. My kids wanted me to be able to relax and enjoy myself and focus on time with family. The house and our stay was perfect. It made a potentially rough holiday one full of great memories! Nick is very kind and super responsive. Plan to come back during the summer for sure!

Fits big families!

This was our third year staying here and as usual the house was great! Plenty of space for all the cousins to run around and play while giving the adults their own area to chill. Plus the nearby waterpark is a family favorite!

My family and I went to Waterloo for a short weekend getaway to visit the water and amusement park. This house was perfect. Perfect size with lots of room for the kids to play inside and outside. WONDERFUL location if visiting the parks. Was easy commute if needed to take a break from the parks, eat some lunch, and go back! The host was very responsive and helpful when needed.
