Relax and observe wildlife at this tranquil riverfront getaway on 5 in-town acres. Take a morning paddle in a double kayak. Enjoy the unique parklike setting along with the convenience of being in the midst of Iowa Falls - the Scenic City.

This is a comfortable well laid out home with 3 bedrooms upstairs. Two rooms are equal rooms with queen beds, closet and built-ins. The 3rd bedroom has twin beds that can be converted to a king with a conversion kit and both types of bedding. Upstairs is the main bathroom with new tub and rainhead shower that will make even tall people happy. This bath has twin sinks and lots of storage. The basement bath has a shower, but this is part of the laundry room and so this is a functional, but not luxurious amenity and you must be able to climb stairs to access the laundry/bath.

This home built in the 1950s is a carefully restored vintage gem. It has rustic charm combined with a modern vibe and amenities. It's not a cookie cutter home and it's carefully curated to respect the original bones of the home and this special park setting.

For your outdoor enjoyment, we have a deck, screened porch, sunporch, fire pit with Adirondack chairs, gardens and woods to investigate and yard games and sporting gear to enjoy it all. You may wander the front garden area to see the monarch butterfly garden, check out what perennials are blooming and wander into the prairie where the solar panels are located and where the deer bed down at night.

    We had a great time! The House is definitely large enough to host all 8 of us with plenty of room! We used the 3 kayaks and tubes on the river. Such a great time! The location is perfect for outdoor activities. Very large yard with tree swing. This was exactly what we were looking for. There were a few things that could have been better such as the fire pit was full of weeds (we found a weed cutter and cut them down so we could use the fire pit). The kitchen lacked a few essentials such as salt/pepper. We contacted the host, Sara, and she was excellent! She gave us $100 off due to the weeds, etc.

    The house was great, felt very secluded yet we were still in town. The 1st morning we were there we were greeted by 13 deer roaming the property. The 2nd morning we woke to a doe and 2 fawns bedded down within 20 feet of the house. We cant wait to return in warmer weather to make more use of the outside amentities.

    Very quiet setting along the river. House was very clean and fully stocked. Lots of space for kids to spread out and play.

    We very much enjoyed the location, with the view of the river through the windows. Deer wandered through the yard frequently and fat orange squirrels entertained us while they were raiding the bird feeders. The house is large, and could accommodate quite a few people with the spare bedrooms in the basement in addition to what we used on the main floor. The home decor is a combination of somewhat dated, reminding me of my parents' home after they retired some years ago, but also with some great updates in the bathroom, kitchen and living areas. Since we needed a couple of bedrooms for our trip to visit family, we could choose between two rooms at a local motel or a home like this for about the same cost--so for the privacy and setting it's an easy decision. No complaints, no real need to be in touch with the owners, so we were left alone and that was just fine.

    We had a great time. The house is roomy and the outdoors is so inviting. The surrounding grounds had flowers in bloom and were lovely.
