We had a fantastic time with friends and family. We were in Iowa City celebrating the marriage of our daughter and new son! We had plenty of room for sleeping and enjoying each other.
We went for an annual big family vacation and really enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and an easy drive to different areas of interest. Would stay again.
Nice property nestled in a semi secluded setting with local conveniences close by. We saw lots of nature and enjoyed relaxing. If you like the water, this area is the place to be.
What a unique property. The different floor levels told its own story and feel to it. Never made it down to the water, but the open yard in the back was perfect for the dogs to play. Great for a larger family. Thanks for the memories.
Great cabin for hosting a family with kids or a small group of adults! Excellent view of Coralville Lake, comfortable beds, fully stock kitchen utensils, and beautiful deck! Will definitely be back!
Organized an escape for my book club! We appreciated the plentiful seating, functional kitchen, and quiet location. Little touches like extra fans helped make everyone comfortable for temperature and white noise.
We loved our time at the cabin. Great meeting space for our extended family to get together to spend time together. Great location and we had a great relaxing time.
My mother, sister, niece, and I take a girl’s weekend every year. We look for unique houses in locations where there an interesting places to explore. This house perfectly fit the bill. Host was nice and responsive without being overbearing. One thing I think is important for future renters to know is that the main living area and kitchen are up a flight of stairs. Location is beautiful and Lake MacBride offers a lot to do.
We loved the space, beautiful location and great for a get together with family and friends, highly recommend and the host was fabulous with communication!
Great place to stay for a long weekend while attending a family wedding
Great location with access to hiking trails, beach, lake view. Close to a cute town with restaurants and shops, as well as an easy drive to the University of Iowa campus
This cabin was a fun weekend getaway, close to McBride hiking trails and has its own water front access for kayaking. It was really quiet and secluded. We will stay there again!
My husband and I joined our adult children for a weekend gathering at this house. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We had a good weekend at this house and we would stay here again.
The house was clean and well maintained. Lots of room for outdoor activities. The beach access with kayaks was an awesome part of our stay.
Would stay here again!
It was a perfect location for getting together with some parts of the family staying in RVs at the state park and some staying in the house. Some folks walked between the RV park and the house.

I grew up in Iowa near here and enjoyed the family picnics at the state park. My extended family is still in the area! We now live in downtown Chicago, and this retreat is a great escape from our hectic lives.
Why they chose this property
My family has been enjoying Lake MacBride since it first opened. My grandmother told me about her experiences growing up and enjoying the lake so she made sure to bring her children. My mother has great stories of Lake MacBride and the Coralville Reservoir and she made sure to bring me and my brothers! Now a fourth generation, my own daughters, are growing up with peace and tranquility because of this fabulous property.
