Our group of ten were in for the Iowa football game and couldn’t have been more pleased. We felt like we were in a mountain ski lodge ( in Iowa!). Spacious. Huge kitchen. Gas grill. Decorated beautifully. This is the nicest VRBO home I have rented in 15 years. Our host even left us a homemade blueberry breakfast cake. I would highly recommend this home to any large group. Thank you Kate for a wonderful weekend. ##### John G. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff F. Aug 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Volleyball Trip to Iowa We had a great stay, we came to Iowa to play in a High School preseason tournament. We were looking for a house that would fit the 12 players, coaches, and parent drivers. There was plenty of space. We also were looking for something that would allow the ladies to hang and connect as a group and leading into the season, and there was more than enough space in the house to allow them to have their time as a team. The house was well supplied, and we were able to make all our meals at the house and eat as a big group. The house was everything we were looking for, and we had an amazing time. Thank you so much!! ##### Jeff F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara S. Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Sara S.
