Adorable Home! Super hosts!

We loved our 4 night stay at this charming Vrbo! The place is immaculate with all the needed necessities needed. The beds were very comfortable and all the linens and towels are high quality. The full kitchen and appliances are perfect. We loved the extra throw blankets to cuddle up with while watching TV in the spacious living room. The bedrooms are also roomy and we enjoyed the en suite in our room. The location is very convenient in a nice neighborhood.

Cozy Cottage...a MUST stay!

My husband and I recently moved to Cedar Rapids and made this cottage our home for 45 days! It was perfect for our little family and had everything we needed. The owners were very responsive and incredibly helpful with whatever we needed. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood near Mount Mercy University and about 10 minutes from downtown!

Our home away from home!

We were coming to Cedar Rapids for my grandson’s wedding, I am 80 and a dear friend of the family is 88 so we very much appreciate the front bedroom with private bathroom for her. I was so nice to come back and visit together in the living room. My only complaint would have liked a handrail next to mailbox to help make those2 steps into entrance. Also it is a lovely neighborhood, felt like home! Thank you for making our stay so wonderful and the

This is such a great house in a central location! Neighborhood was very quiet and all the places we needed to go - Marion, Robins, SE Cedar Rapids, etc. were all within a 10-15 minute drive. The host was extremely welcoming and responsive - I highly recommend this house if you’re in the area!

Perfection

This is the second year we have stayed in this home and it was once again perfect. Lynnaya and her husband were super sweet and understanding when we requested an adjustment. The house is always very clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet; if you need groceries you are minutes away. We will be staying here again when we visit our son at the University of Iowa.

Lovely place

Booked this last minute for family coming in for a graduation. Great location that is a short drive to any part of CR, Marion, or Hiawatha. Looks to be newly remodeled. Way more spacious than it appears from the outside. Family said it was comfortable for sleeping and gave it a thumbs up. Gorgeous kitchen. Great communication by the owner. Will definitely keep in mind if we need to book a place again.
