Iowa vacation rentals

My family was so appreciative that I had found a wonderful family retreat. skiing for hours and the greatest part of the day spent in the pool with the kids. I was a respite from the world and wonderful to spend time with our family. See you next season.

This is a cozy, older home that's been revamped. Upon check-in, the place was very clean and smelled great. The beds are super comfy! We stayed for a week, and I worked from the home. I had plenty of space to set up an office in the dining area and the wifi was sufficient for everything I needed to do. The Smart TV is wall-mounted, which was a very nice touch, as it allowed me to watch the TV from multiple locations, including the dining area where I was working. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The heat worked great and kept the home nice and toasty during the snowy weather. Alex, the host, was easy to work with and very responsive. We had a smooth check-in experience and he was available throughout our stay. It snowed twice and he made sure we knew there was a shovel and road salt if we needed it - very nice!

Alex was great to work with, and his home was awesome! The location is great, the house is clean and in great condition, the furnishings and decorations are tasteful and modern, and the house was well supplied in every way. In short, my experience with Alex and his house were everything I wanted, and we hope to stay there again next year!

We had a fabulous stay with our family. Beautiful home with everything we needed. Well equipped kitchen with great appliances. The location was perfect! Nice quiet neighbourhood with easy walk or drive to amenities. Nice walk to ISU Campus and Jack Trice Stadium. Tricia was always responsive and helpful to our needs. Highly recommend!!

The stay was lovely. The home is perfectly located with a wonderful view and gorgeous yard. The place is very modern, clean and comfortable with many amenities to keep us entertained. The shower was wonderful, the towels thick and new, the beds and pillows were very cool comfy. Evan and Kristen were very helpful fitting our large family in, and we had complete privacy. We enjoyed the bikes, and we love that they are located along the bike path. We loved the foosball table. We watched a family of deer play and eat in the front yard. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

We stayed here for Christmas 2023. It was even more charming and enchanting than we could imagine. Invision finding that perfect hidden gem ... that ideal cottage ... the peace of the day. The beds are soooo comfortable ... we slept like babies ... especially with the train luling us to sleep!!! The host family is simply amazing and so sweet. It's very close to restaurants, shopping and entertainment.

We stayed here for a long weekend for a family gathering with multiple families, with kids ages 7-20. We all had an amazing time and LOVED the house, the lake, and all of the little extras provided by the host to make it extra welcoming and convenient. The kids had a blast playing in the water and on the Maui mat, and the kids and adults enjoyed kayaking in the two provided kayaks, and fishing from the kayaks and the dock. The fire pit area was a great place to gather and there were a good number of chairs provided, as well as an assortment of sizes of life jackets. The house is very well layed out for multiple families. Having bedrooms in the upstairs and downstairs of the house, as well as the cottage, gave us plenty of room for families to spread out and have our own space, still with plenty of space to all hang out together. Rental houses often only provide minimal starting supplies for things like toilet paper, dish soap, garbage bags, etc, but the house was very well supplied, including some food and drinks that they said we were welcome to use, and had plenty of dishes and pots and pans for cooking and leftover storage. Randy was very responsive to our messages and questions, and made it a fantastic trip that we all hope to repeat sometime soon!
