The house was so comfortable and had everything one might need for a great stay in Iola. The kitchen had plenty of cooking supplies. Beds were very comfortable and tv channel and livestream options were great. We were there during the holiday season and the house had plenty of Christmas decorations, including a lighted tree. Enjoyed our stay very much!
This property was just lovely. It was very clean and comfortable in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The owners were great and I would gladly stay here again.
This property was perfect, as close to home as you can get and very clean.
We had plenty of space to allow our grandchildren to spend the night with us while we were there.
We are looking forward to booking again for our return trip in the fall or next summer.
The bungalow met all of our needs, was clean and welcoming. Bill and Misty were great to work with. We enjoyed our weekend visiting family and staying here.
Love love this house—close to the square (walking distance); super clean and decorated so cute; lots of little touches throughout —hosts are super responsive and welcoming! We’ve stayed there 4 years in a row bc we love the location and layout. And love the front porch—we drink coffee out there each morning and enjoy the slower pace…
Everything in the home is description is accurate! We enjoyed the front porch in the morning! The home has Roku and Dish Cable so we were able to watch the Chiefs game!
Grams, Papa, Mom, Dad, granddaughter, and grandson all stayed and turkey hunted at a nearby farm. What a great place to relax, play, and enjoy a meal together after a morning of hunting!!
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!
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.

This is our first property to be listed as a vacation property and we think you will enjoy this cute home. We hope that you will consider staying at our bungalow! Bill and Misty Hobbs
