Enjoyable Family Vacation

Relaxing family stay with three generations. The house was clean. We enjoyed fishing in the lake. Grandchildren were able to catch small bluegill off the dock and a few nice bass were landed as well.

Amazing place with wonderful hosts. Highly recommend.

Jonna was such a great host and helped us make our stay seamless and easy. The house is set up great for large groups. After a long day outside we took advantage of the large great room, huge kitchen, and theatre room to relax. Highly recommend.

Family Weekend

Our family loves this place. It suits our needs well with something for everyone. We brought kayaks and enjoyed rowing around on the water. The outdoor sounds make you feel like you are camping. It is so peaceful. This was our second stay here. It is one of our favorite places to gather as family.

Month of Howard Weekender

This property was a perfect place to spend the weekend with family. There were spaces to be together and places to relax alone. We cooked together, dined together and took advantage of all the games and activities offered at the house. The hosts were extremely helpful and kind. I had questions and they had prompt answers. I very much recommend this rental.

Family getaway reunion

Its was a very peaceful location. Great fishing and firepit nights with s'mores. Porch swing, tether ball, frisbee golf and more. 3 generations having fun together. Close to town if you forgot something. The house was large enough for us, with room to spare. Andy is a great communicator, and responds promptly

Family weekend

The property is awesome. The online listing did not include an address and while Andrew did get back to us when we had a question/problem getting door code, it took a bit with sending messages through the app. There was a bed bug found when stripping the beds. We totally enjoyed the weekend and all the amenities that were available.

This was a perfect place for our family vacation which included people from 1 to 72. The house has lots of room and the decor is fantastic. Our family loves time together and there was plenty of space for us to sit at the table together to eat meals and lots of room in the living area and on the patio. Our family also needs alone time and this is the perfect house for that, too. They could disappear for a while to play ping pong or shuffleboard, watch a movie in the theater room, walk around the pond, or go outside to fish, get in some target practice, or take the pontoon out.We like to play board games and there was room to have several going at once.The kitchen was great with a huge refrigerator/freezer and gas stove/oven.As happens whenever you rent a place, there was a glitch. The previous renters had ruined the pellet grill. I texted Andy and there was a brand new grill there within an hour! He was an excellent host and answered our questions quickly.As you can tell, I could go on about how great this place is for a long time. I highly recommend it!

Ruined Reunion

Our annual family reunion was ruined here as the water pump was broken (we had no water), and the electrical power was half out. We eventually left at 10:00 at night and had to drive home--3 1/2 and 5 hours. You would think we would get a full refund after this terrible situation, but they have decided we only get back one third of what we paid!

Family gathering

What a lovely property! We had such a wonderful time. The kids loved swimming in the pond and the theater room. We all loved the game room and large gathering spaces inside & out The house is very well appointed and clean. The listing says there is a hot tub, but we did not find it. Maybe it is in an area we did not have access to. Our only real disappointment--and the reason I am not giving this property the highest rating--was that the A/C had a hard time keeping up with the Iowa heat & humidity, especially in the primary suite. (We had to sleep with the door open to our room.) The hosts sent someone to look into it right away. Unfortunately, they were unable to fix it during our short stay. I have no doubt they will address it if they haven't already. We hope to book another stay in the future. It truly is a fantastic gathering place.
