Pictures posted on vrbo give an accurate representation of the house. I used Google street view to scope out the area, so in respect to both house and location I knew what to expect. There were a couple quirky things that could be fixed; the basement door nob comes off when turned, the bottom screw of the banister going upstairs is not anchored. there is a lamp in the livingroom that has a loose socket that could be dangerous.) The house has central AC on the main floor and window AC in one of the bedrooms upstairs. The other upstairs bedroom is without AC, so we had to get creative on how to cool that room down. Luckily there were extra fans that helped with this. We initially wondered how the mattresses would be, but we all slept like rocks. My grandson loved the stuffed toys that are there (although I'll admit I wondered how clean they were. They looked clean, but you never know, right?). Nice bathroom that was well stocked. Mark gave us good directions on how to get to the parking area, given all the road construction. This was my first time using a service like vrbo, so I was surprised at the service fees that get added to the overall price. I assume that's normal. Overall a nice house/experience and we're likely to stay there again.

The place had all the amenities we needed. It was well located for what we were doing.

Great property with great amenities and communicable owner. Highly recommend

We were overall impressed with the property and the owners directions with construction. Overall enjoyed it

Just what we wanted

Due to road construction, getting to the property was a challenge in the dark. Mark was responsive to our comments and very helpful.

I was looking for somewhere near my son's new college campus. It was very close to the school,Walmart, and all the stores we needed to set up his dorm. The home was very nice and homely. The owner was very accomodating to our needs. Traveling from out of town the house had everything we needed with plenty of space

We needed a few days to unwind and have fun. Cedar Rapids delivered. Many surrounding parks , lakes outside activities to fill the daytime hours.(Palisades, Devonian Fossil Area, McBride lake, Nature Center). Then the Newbo District for great foods, cute shops and a couple beers. Super friendly people. They also have one of the best Farmers Markets we have ever been to. Mark’s house was clean, comfortable and in a great location for getting around. He’s a great host.
