Fits big families!

This was our third year staying here and as usual the house was great! Plenty of space for all the cousins to run around and play while giving the adults their own area to chill. Plus the nearby waterpark is a family favorite!

Delightful!

Loved the location. So close to amusement park, water park, mini golf, go carts, as well casino and more! For having neighbors around it was very peaceful and quiet. The deck in back overlooks cute pond that you can catch little fish in! (None were keepers but for grandma and the kids this was the best!) Bedrooms very clean and presentable. TVs in every bedroom as well. Easy check in and check out and communication with host very good. If every in Waterloo with the family would return with no hesitation!!! Thanks for great stay a

Very nice home

We stayed at this home for a family gathering and it was perfect. The parent adults could be upstairs visiting and the college age adults could be in the basement. We had 12 people over 18 yrs old in the house and we had plenty of room to spread out.
