About this property

House close to Pine Lake and bike trails.

Welcome to our 1923 farmhouse in quaint Eldora, Iowa. We purchased the house as a home away from home and have been spending the last year completing renovations and making improvements. The house does not have central air but the two window units keep the upstairs plenty cool. In winter the boiler system provides plenty of heat with registers in every room. The kitchen is fully furnished, we have a gas grill on the patio, and folding chairs to enjoy the patio in the evenings. There’s also a swing on the front porch to enjoy your morning coffee. The house sits just off the square and is walking distance to the city pool, playground, small bowling alley, one screen movie theater, grocery stores and restaurants. Close by you can also visit Pine Lake and access a great bike trail. We live in Texas but we have family in Iowa and we enjoy the slower pace, cooler summers, and even a snowy day from time to time. We will continue to improve the house over time and look forward to sharing our place with visitors regardless of if you’re passing through or if you just need to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Welcome to our home away from home.

A Charming Home
We enjoyed our stay here. The home had plenty of room for the eight of us. All the bedrooms are comfortable. We especially enjoyed the private backyard as an additional gathering space. I will definitely book again when the need arises. Thank you!

Family Reunion
Staying in this lovely, well appointed home made our weekend in Eldora so comfortable and convenient. We had a family reunion in the Hardin County Barn Museum just a few blocks from the home. It was so nice to have this spacious home so close!

Relaxed stay in small town Iowa
We had a group of 7 adults, 1 teen and 1 baby. The house worked well for us. It is pretty typical for an older midwestern home. It was nicely staged, and it had everything we needed and then some. The bunk beds were said to be hard but the other beds were very comfortable. We did have a small leak when the upstairs bathroom was used; it dropped water by the dining room table so we used a cooler to catch the drip. I notified the owner over VRBO message (we did not get a phone number but she was fast to respond so this was fine). There is a 2nd bathroom downstairs but it has an odd setup and not much privacy. We were there at the end of June/early July and it was hot but the 2 window air conditioners were plenty once the house cooled down. The person with the a/c unit in their bedroom slept with their door open so the air could be circulated with fans to other rooms. The lake nearby is beautiful and the downtown is historic and charming. We enjoyed our time there and would gladly stay there again.

Charming & Wonderful Stay!
This home is oozing with small town Iowa charm! Communication with Carmen was a delight, with quick and friendly responses. Check in/check out was a breeze. Home was immaculately clean and well stocked. Beds were super. Really enjoyed coffee on the porch swing every morning! Would definitely book this property again!
