Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet, Cozy Perfection! We LOVED our stay! Our family is from Iowa Falls and we came back for the Riverbend Rally Fourth of July celebration. This place was perfect for us! We had three adults and it had everything we needed for our trip. Love that it’s in a quiet town away from all the action but also a very short drive away. We had a very small issue that our host took care of immediately. I mean immediately! She came within minutes on a holiday evening! We were so taken care of while we stayed and it was stocked with everything in case we forgot, even tooth brushes, a hair dryer and shampoo. We would stay again in a heartbeat and hope to be back again sometime. Love that it’s also right by the river and park. So peaceful and beautiful! ##### Cindy W.
