Home away from home
The home is beautiful and full of character! We loved everything about it. The best part was we arrived after dark and the host had the porch light and a couple lights on inside for us! Made us feel welcomed and at home. The home fit all of our needs right down to a playpen, high chair, and stroller for the 1 year old. It was nice not to have to load those around. My husband and I had 4 teens, 2 under 10, and a 1 year old and the house was the perfect size. The host was amazing and easy to talk to and made sure all our needs were met. This home has been added to our list of places to stay again, hopefully with better weather so we can enjoy the porch and yard!

Great stay, clean and great communication
The home was clean and the owner provided plenty of necessities, such as paper towels, towels and toilet paper. Very good communicator and replied to messages fast. Highly recommend! Only improvement would be to oil the front door (its very squeaky, normal for an older home). We great appreciated this Victorian home!

Wonderful House
I stayed with 4 of my high school friends for 5 days and had a great time. The house is huge and lots of areas for sitting around and catching up. The house was immaculate and had everything you would need to feel at home. The kitchen was extremely well stocked as were the bathrooms (loved the towels). We were there when it was in the 90s with humidity about 80% and the air conditioning was a life saver. We enjoyed our time there, the host was great and we would recommend and definitely stay there again.

Quiet Country Living
The house was spacious and well equipped. There were plenty of paces to hang out and have conversations with family. There is a nice park nearby and plenty of country scenery. The kids enjoyed walking to the local convince store and seeing cows in a nearby field. The neighbor to the left brought us fresh garden vegetables. We will definitely go back.

Great Victorian Home!
The house is extremely spacious! The front porch on the warm Iowa nights was very relaxing (plus the fireflies!!). The home retains much of the original charm as when it was first build. Love “old” homes like this property! Darlene was a fantastic and attentive host, checking in by text to make sure we got checked in and settled in.

Beautiful home
This is a beautiful home that has been decorated with care! We really enjoyed exploring all the antique furniture, paintings and decor! The yard is stunning and the kids had a great time playing outside and catching fireflies! Every thing you need is there (blankets, towels, rags, kitchen water etc) E also enjoyed the park that is in walking distance and exploring the small town! We even saw the Bonnie & Clyde shoot out site! I didn’t even know it was there! The property owner was fabulous and Kelly great communication!

Small, quiet town, close to tourist sites and Drew's Chocolates, right in town, was fabulous. If you love Victorian, you'll love this house.

Ladies getaway and bridal shower weekend
We had a wonderful time and created cherished memories in this sweet, charming vintage home. The house was very cozy, the owner very accomodating, the period pieces of furniture enhanced each room in this gem of a vintage home. Very tidy and clean and the beds were so comfortable. Beautiful fenced in yard too! Highly recommend it for a family reunion weekend or ladies getaway! Hope to come back !
