Gather around the wood-burning fireplace or kick back and watch the game on our large flat-screen TV. Our dining room will easily host your holiday gathering, seating 10 at our table & 4 at the counter. There is additional seating in the kitchen for another 4, a great place for the kids or an extra spot for prep. Our stainless appliances will make cooking a breeze in the fully stocked kitchen. Great extra space for the adults in your group who will love our Whiskey Room. Sit back and reminisce about the day, watch TV, or play shuffleboard in a space just for you. Our primary bedroom is also on the main level with a large jetted tub, walk-in shower, and double sinks. Next, head upstairs to our upstairs bonus room, which offers comfortable seating and a TV and is open to below to be "close enough" to the group, but enjoy your special spot.

The house, location & amenities were great for our 5 couples having a weekend getaway. Owners helped get the internet working in time for Iowa football Sat afternoon.
We always travel as a larger group so this set-up was perfect. Communication was good as they responded to every message, but one of the fan remotes was missing. We utilized all the amenities and really appreciated the double washers and dryers, and especially the garage fridge for our beverages. Other than minor wear and tear inside and the need for some work in the exterior, we liked this place. Thank you for heping to make this a good vacation.
Everything was extremely clean, hot tub was amazing (but chemicals needed to be checked by day 3), very family friendly for all ages. The host was wonderful to work with and very responsive. There was a strange sewer-smelling odor in the home and around the outside of the property that was present most of the time, but we assume it was not a normal occurrence and plan to stay again since it fit our family so perfectly!

Thanks for your feedback. We did follow up on this issue but our vendor was not able to identify anything concerning. Definitely not a normal occurrence. Future guests, for longer stays, you will need to notify us if you want to select an additional hot tub service for a fee.
Perfect house for our annual fall family trip! Spacious, clean, comfortable with all the amenities needed. We greatly enjoyed our weekend.

We had a wonderful stay! The home was perfect for our three families—spacious, comfortable, and spotless. The location couldn’t be better: close to everything we needed, from restaurants to activities. Check-in was easy, the house was clean and well-maintained, and everyone had plenty of room to relax. We’d definitely stay here again!
Beautiful home. Gorgeous area. Great walking options and peaceful area. So spacious, high ceilings, and perfect for a large group where everyone had their own room and respective bathroom. We loved it!
My family stayed at this property for a long golf weekend. It was located near all the courses and had a multitude of things to do when we were not golfing. There were beds for everyone and the kitchen and dining area easily accommodated all 8 us.

We had an absolute blast staying at this property. So much fun and so comfortable!
Host was very welcoming. The house is very spacious and beds are comfortable. It needs some attention to maintenance details. One disappointment for our six grandchildren was that the hot tub was not working.

The hot tub was down for a very short time. It is 100% up and working currently!
Great stay for our annual friends vacation! Every room has an en-suite bathroom and there was plenty of room. We also loved the screened in porch and the use of the community pool. Exactly as advertised plus some!
5 men stayed here for a conference at the main hotel. The house was very spacious and everyone had their own room with their own bathroom which made it very nice. We would stay here again.
