"Iowa football weekend with Iowa students and family was a hit. A cool house on a hot day was welcome. There was plenty of space upstairs and down for both gathering and spreading out. The house was well decorated but a bit of outdoor caretaking would make it more attractive. With lots of other options, maybe we secured it a bit too soon. A splurge for sure but more comparison shopping next time for us. Go Iowa!"
