She graciously allowed an early check-in to align with the baby’s nap schedule, making their arrival much smoother. Karen was professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

No vent register in the bathroom - just a hole. No shampoo, as listed. Would be helpful: Add a written instructions for visitors, with check-out info and local suggestions.

"Our family gathered together with their families at this beautiful house in the woods of Iowa City. We all had our own rooms and bathrooms, we were wonderfully surprised by the well stocked items in the kitchen and availability to use and enjoy everything that was inside for us use as well. Then outside.. ponds trees and to be able to walk about and enjoy all the surrounding areas! The host was very accommodating to us as well!"

"Nicest house in neighborhood. Host quickly answered questions. Familroom was unusable because it was too cold."

"Our family group included senior parents, mid age and teens. The house has recently been updated throughout and offered a comfortable setting for our group. There is a lot of well thought out space and amenities packed into this small house. The location is ideal walking distance for IA games and activities. We rented in December and walked to Carver for a game. The driveway is a bit tight for larger vehicles, and careful your vehicle is not on the sidewalk - you might get a ticket. ...

"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. "

"This home is perfect for get together! The bunk beds were awesome for the kids and the basement is a great place for a card game or shooting pool. "
