This was a great property! We had 24 of us staying from age 8 to 78. We really had everything we needed and felt the property was well designed and well maintained. I have zero complaints. It does seem bigger in person than in the pictures. Loved the bunk room in the basement with ten beds and two couches. Kids had fun playing games down there. I liked another reviewer's suggestion to do a Walmart grocery order, which worked great. We did it twice. If you are wondering if there are beach towels, I did ask and there are not. We brought our own for swimming in Keokuk. And if you need a few extra chairs, you'll find them in the king room on the main floor... Which we discovered on our last day. Thanks for a great stay!

The house is beautiful, comfortable, let's in a lot of natural sunlight. Had everything we need. The check in and out process was easy. Beds are comfortable. This house is big enough to house a large group or multiple families for a reunion.

We had a wonderful time. The place was clean and there was plenty of space for everyone.

Overall the property was gorgeous, the house was super cute, and the college youth group I brought there loved their stay! There were a few problems that felt significant enough to list, that the property owners did their best to rectify. 1. Not sure if this was a glitch, but the property manager did have a pretty long response time because they often didn't see/receive my messages. Apparently there are only 28 beds, but at the time I booked it was listed as 30. Leading up to the trip I messaged and asked for clarification because I was only seeing 28 spots, and it took them up until the week of to get back to me and let me know that it was mislisted. They were super nice and apologetic about it, I just wish I had known a little earlier so we could have dealt with getting extra bedding/air mattresses earlier. 2. In addition to the slow messages, we didn't get check in details until I called on the day of. Again, I think there was an issue on their end with VRBO where they weren't seeing messages, she said something about her phone crashing etc so pretty understandable but still was a bit stressful not knowing how to get in to the house since we drove 5 hours to get there. Also, check in and check out times on VRBO didn't match the times listed in their instructions so make sure you're on the same page about that. 3. This was the biggest thing. We booked from Friday night to Sunday morning, and also had a VRBO across the street for the guys. On Saturday evening a man comes over to the OTHER house and starts knocking on the glass doors, and insists that we were supposed to check out that day. It was one of the owners of this listing, who had misread his calendar and had gone to the house, seen 2 of my female students entering, followed and questioned them. I showed him our reservation and he backed off, and then his wife came over and explained that if VRBO says someone can book on Sunday that means STARTING Sunday night, not that no one is there Sunday morning. They apologized profusely, discounted our cleaning fee, offered a 10% discount if we book again, and brought us some cookies the next morning, but it still left a really bad impression. They have a property manager who is also co-owner (and their daughter), but instead of calling to confirm ANYTHING they just assumed they knew what was going on and acted in anger/impulsively. I think especially because my students are mostly women and Asian/American it felt particularly alarming.
