This charming bungalow has become a special tradition for our family. We’ve stayed here three years in a row, and it truly feels like a home away from home. The house is beautifully decorated for Christmas, filled with lovely antiques, and has such a cozy, welcoming feel. Every detail is thoughtful, and the space is both comfortable and inviting.Our stay was absolutely perfect, and we look forward to returning again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Winterset — this place is a gem.

The Bungalow was great!! Had everything we needed and felt homey and welcoming! The weather was not great, but it didn’t keep us from taking in the historic downtown area that was filled with great little shops and restaurants! It was our favorite girls trip despite the unusual cold, wet weather!

This was a great house for 4 of us. We've stayed in many VRBO's, and this was one of the best. It was clean and well equipped. It had a wonderful coffee bar set up and ready to go. We sat out on the porch and watched it rain.

Great spot in Winterset

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this property in Winterset, Iowa! The house was not only clean and comfortable but also full of charm and character that made us feel right at home. The location is perfect, close enough to explore the town’s historic landmarks, including the covered bridges and the John Wayne Birthplace Museum. The home had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, cozy living space, and comfortable beds. We particularly loved spending time on the porch in the evenings, soaking in the quiet surroundings. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, ensuring that we had everything we needed during our stay.

Bungalow Happiness

We had a family get together at the bungalow and it was wonderful. Such a beautiful house with plenty of room for anyone. Location was perfect close to town square. I think everyones favorite thing was the front porch. Spent hours out on the front porch. The game room in the basement was a hit, and the great beds were comfortable and quiet. Thanks so much for a wonderful time. Steve
