We enjoyed our stay in Kellogg. The cottage was cozy and comfortable. The view was relaxing. The drive was only about 14 min from Grinnell College where we were visiting our daughter. I only wish we had had more time to hang out at the cottage!

Everything was thought about for an easy stay! We enjoyed the fire pit, kayak, grill, and open concept for the kitchen and living room so we could be together for the weekend with our adult kids!

Very cute property and set up well for guests. Loved the kitchen with all the amenities, a comfortable living room, and a large porch with a view of the lake. My niece went down to the dock below every day to look at (for) the mink and also did some birdwatching bear the property.My sister, a niece and I were in town to see family and celebrate an incoming baby. We had an amazing time and really enjoyed our time at the cottage.

Janel and Tony's cottage was a perfect place for a weekend getaway! Their place was very welcoming and cozy with neat features such as the ceiling heater option in the shower and the coffee bar! There are so many other amenities included as well. Tony and Janel were very helpful and quick to respond when we had questions! My husband and I highly recommend this cottage if you're looking for a stress free and relaxing getaway!

This cabin was perfect for 2 adults & a dog get away! The "heated" shower fan, lighted bathroom mirror, attention to detail and the fenced in yard were some of our favorites. The front porch w rocking chairs looking over the lake was so beautiful & peaceful. 10 minute drive to Grinnell was very convenient, Scooters coffee, McDonalds, Fareway & Walmart This cabin has everything! Your clothes & a toothbrush is all you need to bring Definitely will stay again!

The house was a cute little cottage with everything my son, dog, and I needed. We loved how clean and nice the house was. It was also decorated and set up super cute. It's as if they really thought of everything. We really enjoyed the location—so close to the lake for an easy walk to the boat ramp. We took advantage of the fire pit and roasted marshmallows, as well as made tea in the cute yellow teakettle. There is also a disc golf course, sandy beach, walking trail, and boat rentals all within the state park, so it's super convenient.Checking in and out was super easy, and we had rockstar parking with plenty of space. My Sheepadoodle also felt right at home; she loved exploring in the yard and was comfortable both while we were away and inside the home.Honestly, I think this is the nicest, most well-thought-out, and cutest rental we've stayed in. We'd definitely stay again.

Do you need peace and quiet? Then this is your place! My daughter moved to Newton IA and I wanted to come see her. So, I traveled with my (approved) dogs and the place was exactly what we needed! This place is at the end of the road, a little hard to find if you're not using GPS, but once you are there, you might not want to leave! There is no washer/dryer so plan ahead! Everything else you need is there, and who wants to do laundry when you're trying to relax anyway!? The deck is amazing, the yard is fenced and is a decent size unless you own a greyhound and need a racetrack. The porch. Oh the porch! Rocking chairs of all sizes so you can sit and watch the sunrise (if you get up early) or just view a portion of the lake. *Fishing and kayaking for the adventurous or hungry! The mini-splits are extremely quiet and kept the temperature very comfortable. It's a one bedroom, but the couch is a large sectional so you have additional sleeping areas if needed. This place is great; it's not huge but it has a lot of charm and a welcoming atmosphere. A cozy cottage, just like the owners say; and again, you can bring your (well behaved) pet/s, just please clean up after them. Just make sure to okay your pet/s with the owners first! Thanks Tony and Janel! :)

Denise, we are so glad that you and the dog-fam enjoyed your stay at the Cottage! Just as you promised, there was hardly notice that any dogs had stayed. We made the Cottage with our own family in mind and love that we can share the amenities we enjoy to let others relax and rejuvenate. We are so glad you got to stay comfortably and be close to your daughter and include your furbabies in that time. We truly appreciate the effort you made in cleaning up after the dogs and rinsing the grass after their "business"! The Thompson's

This was the perfect place to unwind for a couple of days. The screened porch with the rocking chairs was super relaxing. Our son loved being so close to the lake and the fishing was great. Best of all we got to bring our fur babies with us ! Definitely would stay here again.

This was our first time in Iowa. We were in town for the Nascar race in Newton, IA. This was a perfect location to stay for the race as it is located away from the standard hotels, which saved us from having to sit in heavy traffic as we were able to take a back road back to the cottage. The cottage is located in a state park which is beautiful and the cottage was beautiful. Tony & Janel have set the cottage up beautifully, was very clean, labeled so there wasn't any guessing as how anything worked and the only thing needed is your food and drinks. We would highly recommend staying here whether it be for a peaceful getaway to the park or definitely if you are intending to go to the racetrack. This was our first experience with VRBO and I was nervous, but I was pleasantly surprised. Tony & Janel were very responsive with questions I had during the process of booking the cottage.Thank youTony & Janel!!

We had problems with unlocking the entry door on arrival but after repeated attempts to unlock it with the digital lock and being on the phone with the host we were able to get in with a back up key.
