Plenty of restaurants nearby, including Pagliais Pizza, Wildwood Smokehouse,etc. The University of Iowa is nearby, as is Kinnick Stadium, Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Hancher Auditorium and many other arenas and auditoriums. Relax and enjoy the area.

    In town for our Daughter's Graduation from UIowa! 2nd time staying at G'ma's House. It was perfect for our needs on this short stay. Clean and space for us, our son, and my mom. Also, it was great to have room for the rest of the family drop by to celebrate and just hang out. Exactly what we needed for this trip and we all loved having our own home to relax in instead of sitting in a hotel.

    Sweet home with lots of space. Comfy beds, efficient check in and out. I am glad I was reminded to double check the lock when leaving…. I got in my car and started to drive away and then went back to check and it hadn’t locked. Pushed the lock button again, and it locked the second time. Also, owners have the best books on their shelves. Great taste in literature. Thanks, Gramma!
