Absolutely awesome experience staying at this beautiful home. Jeff was a fantastic host! All bases were covered from Nespresso coffee, shower products, laundry services, and travel tooth brush kits. His communication was prompt and thorough. I would highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a clean, welcoming home for family or friends.

Great house with lots of room for our family weekend. Kitchen was well equipped and owner was very accommodating when we asked about a bunt pan, dropping one off that day. Even had kids games at the ready in the basement for our twins. Overall a really great space and amazing sunset views from the deck.

We were in town for the Iowa State game. About 30 mins from campus in a a nice quiet neighborhood. Jeff was a great host. He checked in with us multiple times to make sure everything was ok and even offered early check in. The house was exactly as pictured and had plenty of room for our group of 6. Would definitely book again. Thanks again Jeff!
