This was the perfect spot for a small get together. We had 5 adults and had no problems with v sleeping/space. It is clean and a comfortable place to stay!
Was very satisfied with the whole stay. Was very peaceful and out of the mainstream. Relaxing was not a problem. And close enough to go and enjoy clear lake. Will most definitely recommend and stay again.

Thank you as our team did go way out of our way to satisfy every need you and your family had.
BUT 2 rooms of damaged beyond cleaning carpets, continuous smoking on the property contrary to no smoking signs posted all over in and outside, along with notice posted in my ad to reserve the tiny house, no smoking allowed anywhere on the property at any time due to insurance restrictions, if there is a fire on the property and someone has been smoking, (document thru my many outside cameras) I will have no insurance coverage. When I addressed this with the guests they made threats and false accusations, do not ever rent to this group as they will destroy your property or your business name in any way they see fit. BAD PEOPLE... This is the very first negative review I have ever left in over 2 years with 2 BNB's that I own and hundreds of reservations... Larry
My girlfriend and I always like to find unique places to visit. In wanting to see the Surf Ballroom and visit Blue Earth, MN, this was the perfect in between spot. The host was extraordinarily quick in responded, was watching out for us, and the property was exactly as it was detailed online. I would definitely stay here again!

Exactly what I needed. Would recommend to friends and family.
The properties we rented were clean and as advertised. The owner had great communication and was accommodating through our stay. The properties suited our needs and we are satisfied.
It is cozy, clean and accommodating with everything you can think you might need! I always check to see if 1 of 3 properties in one location is available!

Thank you so much for visiting us again, please travel safe and come back soon to visit North Iowa and all your friends. Larry.
Place was perfect for my family while we enjoyed a wedding near by. Place may look small from the outside but it has lots of space inside, more then you would expect from driving by. Everything needed was included, easy access to other towns nearby and comfortable beds. Larry was fantastic to work with and always responded quickly, very accommodating and professional! We have family friends in the area and this will always be the place to stay for us!
Visiting from out of state, spending most days and evenings w/family. It is the 2nd property I have stayed at by this owner. Each very charming. The tiny house is perfect for me as it smaller, cozy, afordable and well lit; with all the amenities needed. The check in and out could not be easier! Thank You
FYI, I would have appreciated more decaf coffee pods. Comfortable bed. Did not have time to watch television so can not comment on it. Free wi fi is great! Host was quick to respond when I sent a message,
We were excited to stay and experience a "tiny house" and we were really surpised of how open it felt, not cramped at all! The loft is a bit challenging for adults because the ceiling is low, but it was fine. It had all the conveniences of home and worked well for our little group of 3. We did purchase drinking water because we did not care for the well water, but well water is natural for rural settings. Larry was wonderful to work with and has a nice little bnb area right along the highway. We did not hear anything, but you would if windows were open, of course. We will definitely plan to stay there again if future plans bring us back to that area.

Valentine getaway
Overall, the stay was awesome and fun filled. Didn't know/realize the only true bed was a queen upstairs and on the floor (2 mattress). It was hard for our elderly other couple to sleep there. The day bed needs a thicker cushion/mattress and there was no trundle bed under the day bed as labeled. The hot water had an iron/well water smell to it. Location was good, but heavy traffic at all times on the highway and local trains run around midnight every night. Only received one feedback from the owner and that was with booking.

I honestly don’t understand these comments, the description specifically states the location is on US Highway 18, which is a major highway across the United States.
The pictures of the bed in reference to being on the floor and two mattresses is partly untrue, one is a boxspring, and the other is a mattress on top of the boxspring, and it is showed in pictures on the advertisement in the loft which has a low ceiling.
All day beds have only one mattress with a spring platform under the one mattress.
The trundle bed was moved to the upstairs loft as there turned out to be no room to utilize the trundle bed alongside the daybed in the updated pictures as seen online.
Unless the guest staying in the daybed was extremely heavy, I personally have slept in that bed many times, and it’s an extremely comfortable bed, but someone being overweight would probably have an issue with any of the beds provided honestly.
This is not city water as it’s located in the country and it does have well water, which is ordinary, tested and perfect well water, to compare it to city water is unfair.
This guest admits they were elderly couples, and for them to even rent this tiny house should’ve been out of the question as there were stairs, involved, and low ceiling heights for the lofts, and in the country on a major US Highway.
I have owned and rented this property for over three years, and have never received any of the comments that these people have left in their rating.
These type of complaints are out of line to any the rest of the great guests that I’ve had in many years of renting out two different B&Bs.
I feel sorry for these travelers, as I don’t believe they will find accommodations anywhere close to what I am offering for what they received for the price, the location in North, Iowa, the rural setting, which is beautiful, the gorgeous, tiny house they stayed in, which, in fact, is a retirement home for most people called a park model home, with gorgeous furnishings.
I believe honestly that A Hotel is best for these elderly travelers.
I do not constantly send messages or call my guests, honoring their privacy, if I’m ever asked a question I respond within a matter of minutes, so there comment about being upset that they only received the check in information from me, telling them if they had any question before during Or after their stay, please contact me directly Giving them my direct line telephone number.
