Family Getaway

This Fertile house was a perfect place to spend a few nights. My family of four was able to spread out and my girls especially loved the gorgeous upstairs bedroom. Plus we were within walking distance to our favorite Iowa restaurant, Cafe Mir.

Perfect space for our family.

For our weekend stay it was myself, my wife, our 4yr old and my mother. The bed on the main floor was helpful for my mom (no stairs), and the rest of us slept upstairs. Beds were comfortable.

Great Weekend

My husband, best friend, and her husband came down for a wedding in Joice. We loved the idea of having our own space vs staying at the casino. We hung out, played games, and had the best time in this gorgeous small town home.

Wonderful place to stay

Wonderful place to stay. It is super cute and clean. We had all the comforts of home for far less than a tiny expensive hotel room. Fertile is very close to Mason City and Clear Lake. We can’t wait to stay there again. 😊

Beautiful Home

This house was originally my Father's Great Grandmother's place and it was so meaningful to rent it and be apart of that history. It was beautifully redone and enjoyed the time there. Thank you for renewing our old family home into a new life and new memories for years to come!

Awesome Property!!

Wow, we loved this place! We'll be back for sure. The location was perfect for us visiting Clear Lake and Forest City. The property was newly remodeled and the layout was perfect for all of us. Enjoyed the outdoor patio area too. While in Fertile make sure to make reservations at Cafe Mir and visit The Fertile Market too.
