I rented The Burnett Cottage for a weekend visit in Cedar Rapids, reconnecting with old friends. The place was fantastic from start to finish with a clean, modern feel and enough homey touches to give it a warm feeling (love the record player!). It was well stocked from dishware to towels and beyond and the appliances and furnishings were in great shape. The outdoor spaces - the front porch and shaded back yard pergola - were wonderful places to sit and chat with old friends. Yes, there are trains on the tracks right across the street but they are infrequent and short (most only had 8-10 cars). And if anyone you know in CR says it isn't in a great neighborhood, they haven't been in the area lately. New Bo is a block away with the charming shops, restaurants (Fong's Pizza - swoon!), bars, and the must-visit New Bo Market. If I was going to live in CR, this is where I'd want to be and if I come back, the Burnett Cottage is where I'll stay.
