Everything about this house is perfect. Great communication from hostess, Tiffany. She's so nice and accommodating. Rented the house for a weekend Hawkeye game with adult children and grandson (22 months). The stash of toys was such a wonderful unexpected surprise since it was cold and rainy (Oregon game). I was able to keep him entertained while everyone else was at the game. Plenty of sleeping room and the decor of the house is fun. New appliances and plenty of dishes, silverware, etc. Already booked for next year and can't wait to come back.

The lake front home exceeded our expectations! The house is much larger than it looks. We enjoyed the week-end for an Iowa tailgate. The basement was an entertaining dream. We played pool, watched a movie, had happy hour and dinner. Some of the group went upstairs to the extended rectangle table to play games. We had plenty of beds and lots of space on the comfy couches. I think we had 4 people sleeping on the coaches because they were so comfy. The beds were also very comfortable. Soft linens and towels. The entire house is meticulously maintained. Plenty of parking. Also, there are so many little touches that weren’t necessary but definitely appreciated. For example, lots of flavored k-cups, little creamers, all the utensils, paper towels, games, etc. Also there are a ton of yard games in the garage. I wasn’t expecting to canoe in October, but after a quick walk down the trail to the lake edge, we decided to take them out for a little bit. It was so beautiful.Tiffany was extremely friendly and prompt with her responses. Will stay here again!!!

A very comfortable place to gather with several nice places to sit indoor and outdoor. Great beds, towels, blankets, kitchen supplies. Easy access to a grocery store and great hiking/biking trails nearby as well! Thank you so much for the hospitality.

What an AMAZING property! The pictures DO NOT do it justice! We booked this for a bachelor party and it was perfect. There is so much space and the patio area is beautiful. It was great being so close to putting a boat on the lake. We wanted to book this house but waited too long, and it was taken- I reached out to Tiffany and told her to let me know if it popped back up and SHE DID! She responds so fast and is a great communicator! My favorite VRBO i’ve ever booked!

Volleyball Team Getaway

We traveled as a team to Iowa for a volleyball tournament. We had 12 athletes and the coaches and the house was perfect for our team. We were able to eat our meals together in the spacious kitchen/living room. The girls all were able to stay in the same room and there was more than enough room for all of us to stay. We went to the beach one day and were only 20 minutes from Corallville which is where we played the tournament. It was a great stay at a great property!

We rented this property for a large group, and we were beyond impressed with everything. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The place was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of amenities.

Best Rental

This was the best rental we've ever stayed at. Been staying at rental properties for well over a decade and this was the best of the bunch. Photos and listing are extremely accurate and they are actually well stocked with what they list. First rental I've seen have extra crib sheets for a pack n play, plethora of paper towels, Tupperware for leftovers, bug spray and sun screen .... the list goes on. They even had a spare propane tank which we used when the gas fireplace ran out making smores with the kids. Will look to stay here in the future anytime we're back in the Iowa City area!
