Family-Friendly 4BR Near UNI, Easy Group Stay
Welcome to Memory Maker House — a family-friendly gathering spot designed for comfort, convenience, and time together.
• Ideal for families, wedding parties, grandparents, or work crews
• Stocked kitchen, local coffee, Blackstone grill, kid essentials
• Comfortable media lounge off the kitchen w/ 75” TV + deck access
• 4 bedrooms w/ blackout curtains, 7 beds
• Workspace, enclosed garage, parking for 3–4 vehicles
• EV charger, self check-in, pet friendly
Guests say we thought of everything.
We chose layout, furnishings, accommodations, supplies, etc. like our family would stay and/or work there. The living room has a pocket door which effectively turns the room into a dedicated workspace or an escape for kids to watch TV. 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.

This was absolutely perfect! Beautifully renovated! And a perfect location! There were 6 of us ladies and 5 of us went to UNI back in the early 90s, so this house was in just the right spot! We will definitely be back!

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!

Great house for a group!
Michael and Andrea’s home was a great fit for our group. It was clean, comfortable and a perfect fit for a large group! We were able to go to the amusement park and water park easily and have a comfortable home each night to cook and rest. Michael was responsive and great to work with. We would stay here again!
