We enjoyed our stay very much! The location was perfect for our family. It's clean, calm, and quiet. We have 4 kiddos and the house fit us all wonderfully. Everything we needed was available and we settled in right away / felt like our home away from home. The communication with the host was always quick and we felt cared for!

Location was excellent , close to everything but very quiet . Fishing was excellent right from the dock. Beds were comfortable, but the house could use some updates as the carpet was stained and the master bathroom was very small. Host was easy to reach and agreeable. I would recommend this property , especially if you enjoy fishing right at your back door. Overall, we enjoyed our stay .

Great house-loved the location-enjoyed the kayaks- back deck to fish off of was amazing- we loved the fire pit! Negatives- one of the single beds upstairs wasn’t sturdy/made noises so my son had to sleep on coach/little musty smell in home and patio cushions outside were soaked so good thing we brought our own chairs.

We had a fantastic stay! The hosts were wonderful—super accommodating, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire trip. The house itself was perfect for our needs: clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location couldn’t have been better—easy access to West Lake. We’d definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Stevenson

Host profile image
We are from Forest City, IA and purchased this property for a space to get away with our family on occasion. We can't wait to share it with you too!

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because it's a quiet, peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle. That being said, it's a short drive (by car or boat) to many places of attraction!

What makes this property unique

Our property offers a feeling of normalcy. It's very kid friendy, homey and invites normal living. No need for lavish updates as the joy comes from the memories made, not the sparkling items.
