This property was absolutely perfect for our large family. Everyone had a room and there was plenty of space. The kids and grandkids enjoyed the game room also! We will definitely stay at this property again when we travel to West Union to see family!

Wonderful Stay!

The property was exactly as stated on the site. We were all impressed and the location was right on the main highway, centrally located for our weekend. The hosts thought of everything! One minor complaint was a small plug in air freshener that was very overpowering in the main living area. We unplugged during our stay. Would DEFINITELY stay here again.

Very nice updated house in West Union

Great location with short walks along tree lined homes to downtown West Union where there’s Euphoria Coffee with hot breakfast option and several other eating establishments. The recently updated house has ample parking for larger families with several cars. The house has a lower floor that opens out to a huge parklike backyard. there’s a bedroom and bath downstairs plus arcade style gameroom. Main floor has 3 bedrooms and and onsuite bath plus a half bath in the washroom. Coffee was supplied with bath the ground coffee and Kuereg option. 75 inch Samsung innden and another nice TV downstairs near the arcade room. Highly recommend this property et al.

Amazing stay!

Our group of 6 stayed here during RAGBRAI 2022 and wished we could have stayed longer. Every detail has been thought out by the hosts, from paper products to toiletries to extra blankets, and it was super clean. Cabinets in the kitchen were well labeled to find anything you needed. All the beds were comfortable. The main level includes 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, laundry area, extra-large open family room, kitchen and dining area. Downstairs included a bedroom, 1 bath, a second large family room and game room. Our group had a blast in the game room playing pinball, skeet ball and Ms. Pacman (there are other games on this console). There is also a game table set up with checkers. While we were not there long enough to enjoy the backyard (I believe there are yard games there too), it was quite large and beautifully landscaped. This home would be perfect for a family reunion. Not only is this a beautiful home to stay in, it is also in one of the most beautiful areas of Northeast Iowa. We will definitely be back for another stay with our family!

Beautiful Farmhouse

Wonderful home with a beautiful property. Very comfortable beds. We all wish we would have had an extra day to use the game room (skeeball is a favorite) and explore the creek/woods at the end of the property. It is at the top of the list when we go visit family in the area again!
