Beautiful spot in Madison County.

This house was perfect for hosting my family for a wedding. It’s in a beautiful remote location, very quiet and secluded. There was plenty of room to spread out and beautiful views off the back deck. We would definitely stay here again.

Our host was so nice and accommodating. Easy to communicate with! Our grandchildren loved the woods and the creek. It was nice that they could run and play and we didn’t have to worry about them. The house was comfortable and has a good layout for multiple families. We highly recommend staying here!

Wonderful Winterset property! Stayed during the weekend of the Covered Bridges Festival. House was great, spacious, beautiful deck, just as described. Hosts left a lovely loaf of sourdough to enjoy with a detailed instruction manual for everything we needed. Also, the host went the extra mile to ship a piece of jewelry we had left behind 10/10 recommend!

Family reunion in Winterset, Iowa

A nice place for a family reunion. Lots of land to explore. Not near any attractions such as water slides, golf courses. Secluded and quiet. A downtown square in Winterset which can take you back to Mayberry.

Reunion weekend

This place is just perfect for our gathering of friends! All the amenities we need, beautiful home in a beautiful wooded area. We took advantage of the gorgeous fall weather on both the spacious front porch and back deck, and we appreciate that there was ample firewood for fire in the fire pit provided. Comfy beds, comfy air mattress, and all the comforts of home. We will be back!

Wonderful escape in the woods

so glad we found this spot and were able to enjoy it for a trip to to the Knoxville Nationals. about an hour to/from where we were and less than an hour to the airport, we really enjoyed hearing birds and wildlife from the back deck and the open concept of the home. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or revisit.

Awesome house

The house was very spacious and had room for lots of people. They are putting in a 3rd bathroom which when done will give a people in the basement a bathroom without having to go upstairs. The only down is some of the mattresses were a little worn but I'm sure Libby is handling that issue.

It's a beautiful home.so comfortable and loved their willingness to accommodate all our special requ

House is beautiful. Our cousin reunion (all seniors) in our grandparent's hometown(farm in Pitzer) was a walk down memory lane in Winterset...and a place to gather instead of the hotel lobby. Thanks from all of us...the golfers were especially happy..you had the Golf channel which the hotel where most stayed did not have. We had a ping pong and corn-hole, tournament...did a puzzle on the table etc etc. Happy campers were we! ☺
