House on the Corner

Used this Cedar Rapids location as a home base. It was a perfect location to visit and explore within an hour (+/-) radius of the city. This home was well appointed, very comfortable and located in a nice quiet area. Garage parking was a bonus.

Loved the Burnett Cottage

The layout of the cottage with the large master downstairs and the loft upstairs was perfect for our group of two grandparents, two parents, and two children. The cottage was clean and well-organized with everything we needed in the kitchen. Actually, we wanted to clone the cottage and plop it down on Cape Cod for our next family gathering!We also loved the location near the Newbo City Market and an easy drive to the retirement community, Meth-Wick.

When you travel as much as I do it's nice to stay in a place that has the amenities of a hotel, the upgrades of a new build, and touch of a home. This place has all of that and more. I will be staying again.

Perfect cottage

Cottage was very clean and beautiful! Loved having a garage to park in. Check in was easy. Train noise was not an issue- never heard it but I’m sure trains went by. Beds were comfy and bathrooms were fabulous! It was great to have a full bath upstairs and on the main level. Highly recommend! Thank you for offering a beautiful space to rent!
