    All the beds were very comfortable and linens were very clean. Nice assortment of games for evening family fun. We were busy, so never were able to use the hot tub or firepit, but they did look inviting! The rooms are spacious. You need to pull into the alley to access the parking, but plenty of parking available for 4-5 cars.

    We had a wonderful stay at this location for a family vacation at Adventureland in Altoona. It was spacious enough for 8 adults and three grandchildren. We especially enjoyed the arcade, and Wii and all of the board games. The outdoor space was wonderful as well. The kids played “carpet ball” for hours, and we enjoyed the outdoor fire pit with the chairs around it. Great memories were made! Thank you Matt and Mariah.

    We enjoyed our stay! Number of bedrooms and all beds Q/K make this a great house for privacy and sleeping. Plenty of dishes, huge dining table with plenty of seating. Everything feels new. Hot tub was clean and enjoyable. Can’t think of a single thing to be improved.

    As an alum of Drake University I planned a trip back for the Drake Relays with some friends. The place was perfect. Great location near campus. Lots of parking, plenty of room in the house and nice outdoor spaces. We had a great time and my guests complimented the place. Very clean, lots of amenities. Terrific !

    Very enjoyable stay for five 60-72 year old sisters. Extremely clean and a bedroom for each of us! Clean and plenty of linens in each bathroom. We enjoyed the fire ring and hot tub and taught the sisters carpet pool which was fun to see as I have enjoyed it in campgrounds we’ve stayed in. Nice to be able to cook breakfast as all necessary kitchen items were available in the cabinets. Good central location to all venues we were interested in visiting. Would recommend to others highly.
