Great host! Communication was exceptional for the start. We used the house to host 9 disabled veterans and the finished lower level with the sliders was perfect. The house is in great shape and location is ideal for local parks and lakes.Everything we needed was there and super clean!Definitely recommend this property for your biggest gatherings!

5/5 Would Book Again

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. It's in a great location on Coralville Lake, and is a short journey to Lake MacBride. Next time we're in the area, I'll be looking for this place again.

The fire pit area was one of our favorite ways to end the night
There's a little path behind the house that leads to a beautiful lake. We took an evening swim and it was amazing!
The living room was so big and cozy. But so is the whole house. We never felt cramped despite there being a lot of us.

Beautiful Home Perfect for Our Bachelorette Party!

We had the most amazing stay! The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our group of 15. We were welcomed with music playing, a thoughtful gift basket with s’mores, and a sweet note congratulating the bride, such a personal and heartwarming touch!The home was stocked with everything we needed, plenty of utensils, games, and space to spread out and relax. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and even brought us extra ice when we needed it.Every detail was above and beyond. Highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and memorable getaway!

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!

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!!!
