We absolutely fell in love with this well-kept secret in Iowa. The only disappointment was we were not able to at least rent a pontoon boat for our stay or even fish. And being so remote, there was not a lot of choices for restaurants. The beach was a little bit out of the way and not much of a beach. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Nice place with a few issues
We used this as a place to shower, sleep, and eat breakfast in the morning, spending the majority of our day at another lake property with relatives. We enjoyed our limited time there. The sun porch was a great place to leisurely eat our breakfast and enjoy a cup of coffee. The issues: 1. No working smoke detector was evident. The hallway mounted ceiling base where one was once mounted was empty. 2. Hallway floor has multiple soft spots indicating problems with the subfloor. 3. Some of us are old school and would like a bed with a top sheet between us and the comforter. We looked around and could not find one. Would be nice if one was available.

Summer getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was well appointed with everything we needed (and more!) and the lake toys were a huge hit. Between the lily pad and kayaks, something was always in use. We appreciated having so many towels and were impressed by the amount of hot water (with 8 of us showering!) We enjoyed the fire pit each evening and were stunned by how peaceful and quiet the lake was. Communication with the host was easy and prompt. We can’t wait to stay again in the future!

Great Family Fun!
Our entire family had such a great time! This is such a fun stay for kids of all ages! Everything is very well laid out and clear how to get the lifejackets and find all the toys. My kids all agreed that we should come back again!

Activity Filled Property
The house was cute and clean. The screened in patio was a great hang out space. The property had plenty of yard and water activities to keep us entertained. This space is great for family or small group of friends.

Sun Valley Lake home
This property met all our needs. It was a lovely home with very comfortable beds. We really enjoyed the fire pit. The dock was very nice, but the water was a little dirty because of the dredging process. Out on the lake with my cousins, the lake was just beautiful! Crystal clear! If I could give any recommendation it would be step up a little on the cleanliness of the home.
