Stayed Jul 29, 2025This is a beautiful home with such great architectural interest… almost a Frank Lloyd Wright-like home out of the 50s with unique appliances, backyard, etc. Jacqui, the owner, was great to work with & flexible with our changing plans. We had to change our check out date & add a person. Would highly recommend paying extra for the kids’ playroom. My 3-year-old granddaughter called it the Magic Room, but maybe best for kids a little older.

Stayed Dec 20, 2024We celebrated our daughter's graduation and Christmas with family that is spread across three states. The home is right across the street from all the Iowa State sports venues and the facilities are ready-made for large group gatherings. The kitchen was more than adequately equipped to support our group resembling more of a commercial operation than residential. Plus the large open space was perfect for unwrapping gifts and playing games. We had seven stay overnight with plenty of room for more. Beds were comfortable and we loved the retro look / feel of the decor. We'll stay here again in the future!

Stayed Nov 23, 2024With a family of 6, traditional hotel travel is almost out of the question. VRBO is where it's at, and this place has it. It was the perfect place to celebrate all-state music concert with family and both sets of grandparents. Would definitely do it again!

Stayed Nov 15, 2024My family and a few others with young kids spent the day here before a night football game. We had a great time cooking and grilling and really enjoyed the unique decor of the house. We were able to get about 6 cars in the driveway with some squeezing.
