We had a great time around the fire and enjoying the beautiful outdoors associated with this home. The house was the perfect size for our family and friends while we were away from home. There was plenty of firewood for the fire as well.

Cal was very responsive and friendly. The backyard was very nice and private. We really enjoyed hanging out by the bonfire at night. The house was comfortable and clean. Very cabin like. You can tell Cal takes a lot of pride in this home.

This is a cute place to stay with lots of possibilities especially during warmer weather. There were several older DVDs and TVs, otherwise there was no TV reception, which was not a big deal. The location was convenient but noisy due to traffic and trains. It would be a nice location for a private party so that friends and family could stay in the same location.

We had a great time staying at this house!
Comfortable bed and tons of movies to watch.
The waterfall and dipping pool was perfect for just getting in and relaxing. We had a fire every night in the fire pit and played music outside with his sweet setup. The house was just steps away from a bunch of great bars with late night food! Quick drive over the river and there’s a bunch to do in Iowa, restaurants, bars, museums!
Then I beautiful drive down along the river and many places to hike and kayak!
Would definitely stay here again!

All was clean and convenient. The beautiful live classical guitar music added a special touch to our celebration. The kitchen was delightfully expansive for our food preparation and storage. The waterfall was impressive and fun for everyone. We want to have all our parties here! The amazing accomodations far exceeded our expectations.
5.0
The home was just as advertised. It was very clean and nice. The wood inside the home gives it a cabin feel and smell! They had plenty of amenities for us to use. The waterfall feature is unbelievably awesome. I will definitely stay again when we return.

We weren't aware that the host would be staying on the property during our stay, working on the property through the evening entering and exiting the backyard and pool area for hours, entering the house when we left, doing something with the pool (cleaning we assume because there was a hose and scrub brush) during the early afternoon the next day,, therefore we didn't use the pool and sleeping in a van 200 feet away. We had booked the house for the weekend and left 20 hours after we arrived because the experience was so bizarre and uncomfortable.
