Great Guesthouse Getaway
Our weekend stay in Fairfax was awesome. The guesthouse was very clean, extremely. well decorated and was everything we needed. It was obvious the property owner put a lot of thought, time and effort into making this guesthouse cozy, accommodating, and everything we needed to make us feel at home there. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

Fantastic Place
We were in IA for a flyball (dog sport) and stayed at this property. The owners were amazing and responded quickly to all questions. The yard was great for our dogs. Most comfortable bed I have ever slept in away from home. Would recommend this place for your stay!

Long stay in Fairfax
This is a fantastic little cottage. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Iowa. Very close to restaurants on the SW side of town, interstate 380 and downtown Cedar Rapids. There is a large park, walking trail and dog park right behind the cottage. The owners are very friendly and Fairfax is a great, quiet little town!

Great little place with the perfect yard
Really loved our stay here. The house is small, but has a queen-size bed in a decent sized bed-room and then a futon in the main room that can be pulled out - two small teens slept comfortably on the futon. Cute little kitchen/living area with a smart TV so we still had our netflix. Bathroom had a nice shower with toiletries and towels provided. There were even robes! The only thing we didn't love about the house were the bathroom and bedroom doors - they look awesome because they're sliding wooden barn doors that really add to the atmosphere, but they don't provide a ton of noise privacy...the teens were nervous about being heard in the bathroom and waking me up in the morning. But the yard was great. The house is set back in the backyard of a main house, so you share the yard with the actual home owners, but they were very pleasant and let us have the yard to ourselves when we were there. It feels very remote and private. There is a wooden swing and great firepit and cool lighting, with everything needed to start a fire. We had a great, relaxing time just hanging out and making smores over the fire. We definitely are happy with our decision to stay here instead of in a hotel when we came to town. We plan to use it again if we're ever out that way overnight again!

Wonderful stay just outside Cedar Rapids
This cottage was perfect for my husband and I (and our doggy)😊. Everything we needed and more was provided in this cute, beautifully decorated place. There were snacks and drinks out when we arrived. The friendly owners are in a house nearby but stopped by only to see if we needed anything. It was so relaxing to sit outside in the tree swing and listen to the sounds of a ballgame in the neighboring baseball field. A huge dog park was just a short walk near a great playground and more ball fields. The bed was very comfy and we also enjoyed the TV with lots of viewing options. But the highlight was having my parents and sister join us at the fire pit where we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. So relaxing and peaceful!

Little home beside the home
It’s basically an apartment away from the property you can be pretty loud and nobody will hear you super private and the homeowners were absolutely wonderful and definitely made it known if you need something say something if not we won’t bother you and I can’t tell you how much a relief that is compared to others I’ve been in!

An excellent, quiet, and easy place to stay
Every single detail was taken care of. There was food in the kitchen, even frozen pizzas. There was a washer and dryer, French press AND percolator AND 2 kinds of local coffee for us. The place is decorated in Iowa regalia like Grant Wood paintings, the history of the house, and magazines specific to the area. There is a fire pit with a swing outside, also surrounded by stumps to sit on that had the sharp bits sanded down. There is also a playground, baseball diamond, basketball hoop, tennis courts, and walking trail right behind the house. Every single detail was taken care of. It was truly an amazing experience.
