About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Best for family and friends. We have everything you need.

Memory Maker House is our fully renovated historic property that feels like a new house. Guests say we thought of everything, and it feels like home. Enjoy the Blackstone grill, locally roasted coffee, separate workspace, kid-friendly essentials, EV charger. Unwind on the shaded deck or backyard patio. Cheer for your team on a 75" TV. Reward yourself with the MBR: king, 65” TV, en-suite. Ample parking with covered garage. Open floor plan DR/kitchen/FR. Minutes from UNI, the Dome, downtown. Lighted pickleball courts nearby.

We chose layout, furnishings, accommodations, supplies, etc. like their family would stay and/or work there. The living room has a pocket door which effectively turns the room into a dedicated workspace or an escape for kids to watch TV. The kitchen flows into the dining area, so big groups can have a meal together - at the kitchen island, dining table, or both. Upstairs you will find washer/dryer, master (king) bedroom/full bath, and three bedrooms/full bath. All bedrooms have black-out curtains. Three TV’s: 75” (family room), 65” (MBR), 55” (living room).

We made some wonderful memories at your memory maker home! Some of the things we enjoyed the most. Beautiful big porch, front and back. Fully stocked modern kitchen. Amenities for the little ones like a high chair, pack and play and baby toys. Central location for our family reunion and water park. There were 11 of us and there was Plenty of room for everyone. The host communicated well with us. Answered all questions we had in a timely manner. The home is beautifully updated but has an old world charm. We highly recommend the Memory Maker home!

Great house for a group!

Michael and Andrea’s home was a great fit for our group. It was clean, comfortable and a perfect fit for a large group! We were able to go to the amusement park and water park easily and have a comfortable home each night to cook and rest. Michael was responsive and great to work with. We would stay here again!
