For our travel situation, we could have not asked for a more perfect place to stay. Everything was perfect. It looked and felt like we were staying in a brand new house. I would highly recommend this location.

Take good care!
We had a great stay at the Elmhurst house. It was super clean and clutter free, nice location and extremely easy to get in and out of. Lynnaya was very responsive and nice. Definitely a great spot to stay in Cedar Rapids.
Great property. Needs more seating in tv room/ den

Great house. Nicely updated. Location was very close to downtown. Very quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend this house if you need a place to stay in Cedar Rapids.
Very clean, host was very responsive. Water pressure was great in the showers. Smart TV in the living room was great. Air conditioning was GREAT! Very happy with my experience staying at this location and would 100% stay again given the chance.

Thank you so much! You were a great guest and we hope that you return soon!
Updated and clean. Great neighborhood. Comfortable beds. Nice bedroom layout giving each guest some extra space. Loved the back patio for morning coffee time. Only thing we missed was a larger kitchen table for a shared meal but would not be very practical given the room dimensions. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Great house and location….but hard to see address at night when it’s dark! It was clean and owner very gracious. Coffee pods there and kitchen well supplied.
Was nice and centrally located within CR giving 5-10 minute access to almost any amenity you wanted. It was very nice, clean, and quiet.
Would stay again!

Hello Maggie, We really appreciate any feedback that you may have. Would you be able to enlighten us on what we can do better? We have only received two other 4 out of 5 stars in all of our reviews. Thank you so much!
My best,
Lynnaya
This was such a cute house in a great neighborhood. It was SO clean and had a good amount of amenities. We didn't have wine glasses so we bought a set of 4 and left them there! We highly recommend this place.

Thank you do much! You were great guests and we sure hope that you will choose us again!! We really appreciate guests like you!😊
We booked this 3-bedroom home for a family trip to Cedar Rapids, and it exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked through the door, it was clear this quaint, charming home is exceptionally cared for. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable for the four of us. The house felt like home rather than a rental. The backyard had a place to cook on the grill or just to sit and enjoy the fire pit. The kitchen was fully stocked with the conveniences and comforts similar to those in my home. There was an issue with the flapper in the toilet, which was quickly repaired. The home was centrally located - easy to get around and close to everything we wanted to see and do. If you are looking for a place that can comfortably and warmly accommodate a small family, look no further. I would definitely book this property again in a heartbeat.
