We loved how clean the house was when we arrived and they answered any questions we had! This property was perfect for what we needed for a landing spot for 6 adults and 7 kids (1-7 y.o). We had so much fun hanging out by the fire the first night, renting a pontoon five minutes away - from Lake MacBride rentals, beach time, The kids really enjoyed the basement game room and the toys were a hit for the littles. The decor was fun retro and updated with plenty of usb and plug ins The large living spaces really helped us corral the kids while having nice family time. This is a beautiful home inside and outside and I would highly recommend. 5 minute drive to Solon for easy grocery and dining options, also. Our wedding was 30 minutes away at Walker Homestead but it was an easy drive. We hope to make our way back here someday soon!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Tiffany Stull

Host profile image
I'm currently from Solon, Iowa. I've lived here most of my life. I enjoy spending time with my family. I have four children and two grandchildren. My husband and I enjoy being outside and doing all things outdoors. We enjoy hosting parties and family gatherings. We have drywall business and most recently decided to give the VRBO thing a shot.

Why they chose this property

We recently built a house in this neighborhood and have loved every minute of being here and when this house popped up for sale we thought it would be a great way to share our love for the area with people coming to visit the area.

What makes this property unique

This house was the first one in our neighborhood, construction started in 1976 and was finished in 1994. The couple we bought it from hand build and constructed the whole property while living in "bedroom 2" hence the peephole and deadlock on doors. The husband had all his woodworking tools on wheels and wheeled them around the house as he worked. He was an engineer and skilled in many things. A couple of my favorites pieces are, the stained glass knight in the basement bar - he crafted that. The ceiling of bathroom one was handcrafted from a wax mold, stamped and handpainted. He formula the mold so there would only be full pieces and never a half mold. The stain glass door to bedroom one was handcrafted by his wife. There are so many neat things about this place but my fourth favorite is the main floor balcony. If you look at the middle botton you'll see the letters C & N, those stand for Cecile and Nancy - the owners of the property. Those spindles were hand crafted and inspired by a vacation they took to Italy. This house was a labor of love for these two and we can't wait for everyone to enjoy it as much as they did.
