About this property

Relax with the family in our 100-year-old bungalow. We offer 3 bedrooms, sleeping 6. The interior is newly remodeled, including new central heat and air. As with any older home, it's not perfect. We are still sprucing up the outside. There is a private paved driveway for your convenience. You will enter the large living room, complete with hardwood floors and a limestone gas fireplace. There is a designated workspace featuring a desk. Two bedrooms include plush queen-size beds. The third bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed. We have provided a high chair and pack 'n play to make traveling with children easier. The kitchen is complete with stove, refrigerator, Keurig, microwave, and dishes needed to help you prepare home-cooked meals during your stay. Enjoy the quiet neighborhood while relaxing on the porch swing on the large cozy front porch. Our home is 3 blocks from the largest town square in the U.S. It is also a short bike ride from the Lehigh Portland Trails and the Prairie Spirit Trail State Park. Iola is the home of Allen Community College.

Needs a little TLC

The hosts were awesome and very responsive and I’m so happy I found this house. Three good sized bedrooms and a nicely stocked kitchen. That is the up side. The down side is that the house is very old and I think it’s kind of falling apart. Also, I kind of think that the neighborhood is a little rough but honestly probably perfectly safe because it is such a little town. You will need to bring paper towels and toilet paper. Paper towels because there were none and toilet paper because the house has single ply dollar store stuff. Lol Don’t look under the master bedroom bed, it’s pretty dusty which made me giggle a little bit! Over all it was a good experience and MUCH MUCH MUCH better that any hotel in town.

Lovely stay

This 3bdrm bungalow did not disappoint!! I've stayed at many vrbo and this is the first with a crock pot. It's the little things that make a big difference. The place was very clean, decorated beautifully and had all the extras that make you stay comfortable and like home. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again!

Sister time

The lock was not easy to use and locked us out after three or four tries. I communicated with Bill on the website and he was great to call me back. He had a great back up plan. The main reason my sister and I rented the bungalow vs a hotel was the fireplace. I don’t want to be negative, but after we had to call Bill to talk us through the start up, we were frustrated. He was great and sent his friend to start the fireplace. The “fireplace” shuts off after a couple of minutes and then it starts back up after about 15 minutes.🙄🙄 At that point, we turned the furnace on. It was so loud it was difficult to communicate. We didn’t even try the TV situation which was fine. We had much to catch up with each other. The reviews were “clean” when we booked. The kitchen counter is so scratched and does not scream “clean” in the least. And I’m glad they had two leather chairs to sit in as we were not going to sit in the couch or love seat. The beds were comfortable. Again, Bill did communicating with us.

Perfect

Clean, well appointed and even had a very nice lit Christmas tree. Quiet older neighborhood and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. You can tell that the renovation was well thought out. The location was very central to the town and easy in and easy out. Thumbs up.
