    Wonderful Home with all the special touches
    Our group of 6 women stayed at Grandma Helen's House while biking in Dallas County IA. We felt so fortunate to have found this wonderful VRBO. The home is beautiful with so many special touches!!! We loved the beautiful wood work in an and built in areas. Spacious with 6 bedrooms, newly remodeled kitchen. Very roomy living areas. Super clean. Beds were super comfortable. The owners were super good to work with. Kept in touch with us. Alerted us about a tornado watch and told us how to get to the basement if we needed to. They left a bouquet of lovely lilacs at our door. I would highly recommend this property. You won't be disappointed!

    Helen's House was absolutely perfect.
    Such an enjoyable stay. We brought our grandkids (age 3 and 1), our daughter and her husband. It was very spacious for all with everything we needed for the kids. Love the location. Close to downtown, cute shops and restaurants. Very clean, excellent communication throughout our stay. I would highly recommend Helen's House. So cozy and comfortable.

    Very nice property and helpful hosts
    This is a beautiful, large, comfortable and very clean property - a house that has obviously been loved by prior and current generations. Especially fun were the momentos of family history sprinkled throughout the house. The kitchen is well equipped, and bathrooms have plenty of towels and supplies - very helpful when you have a large group. The hosts were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.

    beautiful early 20th century house
    Grandma Helen's house is a house with plenty of character, as well as being quite suitable for larger groups. We booked the house as our son was getting married in nearby Madrid and we wanted a place for the groom's men to be able to stay the night before the wedding. For this it worked perfectly. Then, when the wedding was over, and the grooms-men had gone, it was great to have a place for our family to unwind for a couple of days. The kitchen is well suited for cooking. We did a pancake breakfast the day of the wedding, and fetuccini for a late meal after. There were plenty of dishes, pans, etc. and we were able to cook almost as if at home. The two dining tables are great for games. Also, we had two small children (ages 5 and 8) with us, and the kids bunk-bed room was perfect for them and the 5 year old loved the toys. I don't know if we will ever be in Perry again, but if we are, we would be delighted to stay in Grandma Helen's house again.

    Sets the standard
    This lovely, historic home is well-maintained and situated in a pleasant neighborhood. Within walking distance is Perry's downtown--well above average as far as small towns go. Besides its historic structure and the furnishings and decorations that add to its charm, the house has all the necessities to make it comfortable (we have a large family and always do a lot of cooking when we stay in a rental and the kitchen in this house was the best equipped of any we've ever stayed in). Finally, the manager was perfectly communicative and responsive.

    Iowa Watercolor Society Spring Workshop
    Grandma Helen's House was the PERFECT property for our group of Iowa Watercolor Society (IWS) member artists in town to attend the spring workshop at La Poste. The home has so much character and warmth. The host's attention to detail is obvious and made us all feel so welcome. We will look to reserve this property again for future IWS workshops!

    Beautiful and spacious home.
    Grandma Helen’s house was perfect. It was so beautifully decorated for Christmas, which made our family Christmas gathering so much more special. The house is very spacious and was perfect for 13 guests ages 7 and up. We would love to come back again!!

    Where small town USA intersects with Fall Harvest
    The house far exceeded our expectations. The house was lovely, too unique to show in a listing. It was an arts and craft home that has been modernized with all of the conveniences needed. My husband isn't easy to get reactions from when we use VRBO, but he was a full two thumbs up! Great hosts and wonderful stay!
