Nancy is a wonderful host! Location in this sweet NE Iowa town is ideal sitting on the river downtown near ice cream, bakery, coffee shop and several restaurants. Sweet shops nearby. Spent time outside on the deck. Loved our stay - we will be back! Highly recommend!

Excellent room, cute, and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and we both loved the feel of the sheets and the pillows were really good. Plenty of towels and quality TP. The view of the Turkey River was beautiful and sound of the small waterfall right outside our window was refreshing . The convenience to everything was great. The host made it very easy to check in. Loved information binder that was her. It was very helpful. Communication was excellent. I give this place a score of a 1000. A 10 doesnt cut it. Decorated beautifully too. I highly recommend this place. It was like a home away from home.
