Family, group & pet friendly-This place was designed with fun in mind!
From the twin-size porch swing to the games to the backyard hangout & playset.

2 blocks from the fair, Aldi’s 2 blocks away, easy to find, 3 miles to downtown, fully stocked kitchen, 4 beds & a couch.

We personally renovated this for the sole purpose of being an short term rental. Which means we put ALOT of thought into the details and maximizing space as well as opportunities for fun.>
This is a cute space that we created with families/small groups in mind!

Kids are welcome, pets are welcome. We strive to provide you a place that feels homey, cozy, and cool.

The entire house and spacious backyard are yours!

Other things to note
There is one bedroom (and couch) on the main level. The other 3 beds are downstairs. If this is a problem for you, please don’t book.

    We absolutely loved our two day mini vacation to Iowa. Our daughter turned 14 on Monday August 4th and we spent the day at Adventureland having a blast and the fun continued when we were back at Jessica’s house we rented. This house is kept up very well and was so cozy to spend time in. It is very obvious how much care goes into this rental for their guests! It was also extremely easy to communicate with our host, Jessica. We Will definitely stay here again if we are back in that area for any overnight plans!!!

    It was interesting. There was a surprise massage bed in the basement run by a sump pump.

    The host was wonderful. The unit was very cute and clean. We felt very welcome. The location was central to our needs. We wish we could have enjoyed the backyard more, but time did not permit. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and host.

    Got there 30 minutes early they were still cleaning, drove around and did a little shopping. Messaged 15 minutes after check in time was told 10 to 15 more minutes. Only partial roll of toilet paper was left, couldn’t find anymore, messaged and they said they would bring more. Bedroom had no light switch, found out you have to pull the chain of the ceiling fan for light. Go thru the bathroom to get to basement.

    My I wanted to come in early because of the car show. The owner of the place was very kind. Gave me upfront pricing on checking in early. The person had very clear communication part throughout the whole process. They always reached out to me within 24 hours of me sending a message to them when we got there. It was beautiful. It was very quaint and more than I expected the pictures on a line made the bed look smaller than what they actually were. There were four queen size beds and they were all very comfortable. I enjoyed the backyard and it’s six blocks three blocks down three blocks over to the state fairgrounds, which was a nice easy walk.

    We had a wonderful stay! Jessica was a great host—very responsive and easy to communicate with. The property had plenty of space for our family of six and was in a fantastic location, just minutes from Wells Fargo Arena. Everything was as described, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend!
