2 weeks vacation, close, but far enough away.

Nice property nestled in a semi secluded setting with local conveniences close by. We saw lots of nature and enjoyed relaxing. If you like the water, this area is the place to be.

What a unique property. The different floor levels told its own story and feel to it. Never made it down to the water, but the open yard in the back was perfect for the dogs to play. Great for a larger family. Thanks for the memories.

Unique house in a beautiful location

My mother, sister, niece, and I take a girl’s weekend every year. We look for unique houses in locations where there an interesting places to explore. This house perfectly fit the bill. Host was nice and responsive without being overbearing. One thing I think is important for future renters to know is that the main living area and kitchen are up a flight of stairs. Location is beautiful and Lake MacBride offers a lot to do.

Family Cabin Trip

We take a family cabin trip every summer and this year we stayed in Iowa. Not too many places to find on a lake so I was excited when I found this one. Bonus was the nearby State Park!I was a little disappointed to see that while it was near the lake, you really didn't have the lake feel we were all expecting. You had to walk down to the water and couldn't see the lake through the trees. The cabin itself was nice and had everything we needed. We did have an issue with the garbage disposal and sub pump which were both brought up with the owner. Kind of made you jump when the toilet would "burp" like it was going to explode. Both were going to be taken care of but we had to ignore the issues during our stay.The owner was very prompt with responses and instructions were very clear. Had no issues at all!Gave a little lower score due to the disappointment with the view of the lake, some issues, and a little cleanliness with the bedding in the lower bedroom.

Perfect for a family gathering

Check in and communication with Lisa was easy. We asked about the kayaks and they were moved to a very accessible location for our stay. The property was in a perfect location for our needs – close to Cedar Rapids Airport and also Iowa city. We were there for a family gathering and the night everyone came over it was about 11 of us. There were plenty of tables and chairs for everyone to eat dinner on the deck. The cabin was thoughtfully supplied with extras of everything we needed – toilet paper, paper, towel, towels, gas canisters for the gas grill, charcoal for the Weber. The kitchen had most everything we needed to cook some simple meals.The bed in the upstairs main bedroom was a bit noisy, and we found it was perfect to sleep with earplugs in the downstairs master.Our dog loved retrieving tennis balls that we would throw off of the upper deck down onto the expansive lawn.It was nice to have a washer and dryer to use as we stayed in the cabin in the middle of a long road trip and had plenty of dirty clothes to wash. When we checked in, we were informed about a faulty garbage disposal in the kitchen, so it wasn’t a surprise and we managed to get by just fine.
