Secluded Iowa Home Near Hiking & Fishing!

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, the house was very clean and nice. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and tools. We appreciated the Wi-Fi connection.The host was attentive, communicative, and helpful!The spacious cabin was again, like last time, a perfect venue for fun and games, both active games, like hide-and-seek; as well as board games; and this time, games on the grandkids' screens. Something for all three generations of us! We were 8 adults and 8 kids. A suggestion for the sake of senior guests: The bathroom in the main floor (master) bedroom could use grab bars in the shower and alongside the toilet. The mirror above the vanity would be more useful if it were lower.Thanks for a most comfortable and pleasant accommodation!"

Cedar Springs Greenhouse

Cedar Springs Greenhouse

10/10 Excellent
"The greenhouse was a quaint, perfect little getaway for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary. The hosts thought of everything we could need for our stay, and even went out of their way to help me surprise my husband with a bottle of wine. They even provide some handy snacks for purchase if needed. A fierce hail storm rolled through during our stay, and that little greenhouse was able to withstand the storm! The included air conditioner worked well to keep the greenhouse comfortable during our entire stay. The futon bed was a good size for us (5'6" & 5'9") but if you're much taller then that, you may want to use the included air mattress. We barely fit in the sleeping space, but it added to the fun of staying in the greenhouse :) It was really cool to look out into the rock quarry, and to hear all of the sounds of nature surrounding us. Even though the greenhouse is on a lived on property, we felt secluded in our own private area. We greatly enjoyed our stay, and look forward to spending future anniversaries there again!"
