This was such a charming experience. I love the schoolhouse theme. It was very nice. The space was very spacious and well thought out. I would definitely recommend staying here 10 out of 10.

The place was so cute and as stated- biggest issue was a smell in the home that smelled like the former renter might have cooked something that permeated the walls and made the home smell like hot garbage. I did go to Walmart and got some plug in fresheners and that made a huge difference. Would stay again
I stayed here for 4 nights during spring break with my middle school daughter and her friend. The girls fell in love with the place and are now requesting that this becomes an annual tradition. They weren't particularly interested in the game room but loved the hot tub and having the large upstairs as thier own hangout spot. The kitchen was well stocked compared with other VRBOs I've stayed in. We loved the plentiful pillows and blankets. It was so cozy and relaxing.
We booked this charming little house for my daughter’s graduation at ISU. This house was absolutely perfect for our family, and while there was a blizzard going on outside, we were able to entertain ourselves in the party garage, as it was full of fun games!
Cozy, welcoming, pet friendly cabin. Being able to hike around the lake without having to drive anywhere was great! It was so great to bring our dog with us - she even braved the spiral staircase to explore the loft for a few minutes! My one complaint was it seemed like it hadn't had a deep clean in a while. I understand it's a cabin, but there was a layer of dust and cobwebs throughout the cabin. Other than that, it felt clean and was well cared for. As an intwrior designer, I have to say, the theming and decor is amazing! Having all the amenities there was great; we even ended up breifly using the game room which we didn't think we would do! Thank you for a great trip!
Great stay everything was amazing and as described and better. Will turn out great for wedding getting ready photos. Was close to town but still private and felt secluded. Great game room and a lot of options. Best place with amenities by far!!
