The house and location was excellent. We did have a car trailer with derby cars on and we didnt have any place to park that but we made due. Other than that it was great
We were in town for my sonâs wedding. This property allowed perfect space for family to stop and visit, ample sleeping space, two showers, and a nice kitchen to bring our own food and beverages. This property was a blessing for our family to make wonderful memories!
House was ok. It could do with a better clean, kitchen blinds were dirty. Extra bedding would be good, comforters and more pillows. As someone else mentioned, the next door neighbors were noisy through the night with their coming and going and dog barking.
Clean, quiet home in a nice subdivision located on a cul du sac. Fenced in back yard, nice wooden deck with outdoor furniture. Location is great for shopping and restaurants. Owners were great to work with. When in Iowa, will look to rent again.
Well maintained, except front steps need a railing. Very clean! Kitchen well stocked. Iâm 78 and couldnât figure out how to get local TV channels. Would rent it again.
Great place for our stay for a graduation weekend.
The back porch was amazing. In the morning it was shady, and in the evening the same, I think we ate every meal out there. Good location for us.
My husband and I stayed there with a daughter, her husband, and two of their daughters.
I think the icemaker might need some work. Broken white plastic pieces would come out with the ice, and some ice would leak onto floor. Otherwise, nice stay.
We were unable to make it up due to weather so we had to cancel at the last minute. The owners refunded our money even though they didn't have to. Really great people to work with through the whole process. Hope to stay there in the near future.
Nice property; nice neighborhood, conenient to groceries, and freeways.
Was missing some expectations on blankets, linen.
One overifing concern was the internal security cameras upstairs and downstairs (i.e. was anybody watching and/or listening).
We stayed here for about 10 days, and we had everything we needed in the home and around us. The house is large and there is plenty of room and space. Well-equipped on every level and conveniently located to all that we needed. Joy was so helpful and responsive. Amazing host!!! The A/C went out during the heat wave in August, and Joy was on it. We had cool air within hours. Great home, great location, great host! Thanks!!
The Good: The house itself is nice and well maintained. Communication with the property manager was excellent; she is very responsive and seems concerned about maintaining a nice property. Beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water for showers and laundry. The home is thoughtfully stocked with initial supplies, including coffee, dishwasher tabs, TP, etc.
The Bad #1: Very inconsistent cleaning. Overall the house was adequately cleaned. The two glaring exceptions were the showers (including a MB shower curtain liner coated with mildew) and most of the floors. The property manager came by to rectify the curtain liner situation. My husband ended up cleaning the shower floor before we felt comfortable using it; and it was filthy.
The Bad #2: The other issue was the next door neighbor's barking dog. It appears that the dog lives in the garage. Any nearby outside activity, including the coming/going of their teenage kids, sets off the dog. The two bedrooms against that side of the house were kept awake two out of four nights.
As noted, the house is nice and overall everything was adequate. Great responsiveness from the property manager. But the two "bad" issues are deal breakers for us, and we won't be returning.
The house upon arrival was not as clean as we left it. The entry door glass hadnât been cleaned and dead flies lined the patio slider doors. The house is adequate but certainly outdated. The master shower curtain had not been cleaned in forever fortunately there was a large bottle of bleach that I used nearly half of on the curtain to clean it. The neighbor directly to the south keeps TWO large and LOUD dogs in their garage. Each morning at 6:20 and every evening at about 10:30 they would tie them to their basketball hoop adjacent to this propertyâs south side. The master bedroom is directly above them. They YIP, BARK, and GROWL THE ENTIRE TIME THEY ARE TIED UP. Usually they take them back in after 15 to 20 minutes. It was so bad I considered calling the ARL which my wife talked me out of. We told the owner the very first day and he shrugged and said âwell we have only had one complaintâ. Maybe they should spend a night.
If you need to be up by 6:20 and donât mind going to bed after 11 this place is adequate. We were very happy to leave.
Great place for our family trip. Plenty of room for all of us and had everything we needed. For the initial stay kitchen and bath was fully stocked with all supplies required. Though, cloth kitchen towels would have been a better addition to replace all the paper towels used. The AC was in perfect order for hot humid Iowa in June. Property was adequately clean. Cleanliness is so subjective, my idea of clean may not be your idea of clean. we do hope this home is available on our next trip, we would definitely stay here again.
