"We visited to have some down time. It was a great place to do that. We appreciated all the little details to make the stay comfortable. We were a small group. But it would be great for a large group/family. "

"Clean, friendly staff"

"Loved the open concept living room and kitchen for visiting. Very nice outdoor fireplace for cooler evenings. Property was clean and well stocked. "

"Easy check-in. Comfortable room. Everything was good. I received 3 separate check-in confirmations. I will watch my CC to make sure only one charge."

"Very roomy and clean. We really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect."

"I love this motel so much that I stayed an extra night. First, it's much more homey and comfortable that a big hotel. It is quiet, peaceful and easy to get to from the highway. I was able to park right outside my room, which makes everything easier when traveling on a long road trip. The room key is a real key versus a key card. This is a rarity and so much better than having to swipe a card every time you enter your room. I absolutely love this and would come back just for this. I was able to work on a cozy couch with everything I needed. The rooms are spacious and cozy. The air is clean. There are chairs to sit on right outside each room to enjoy the sun. This feels much more like home versus a sterile, crowded large hotel. The room is also clean and well kept. The staff is so friendly, supportive, accessible and helpful. This means so much. If you need anything groceries there is a very affordable DG Market right next door. I would also recommend this motel as a great place for a family. It is safe and quiet and there is a fridge and microwave in the room. Like my title says, this is a quiet hidden gem. I will surely come back next time I am in the area. I have already recommended them to friends."

"My family used to live just across the lake from this house so it was great to come back and spend time at Lake Cornelia. This is a great little retreat. We so enjoyed our time."

"This property is under new owners. It is in rural Iowa and an older facility. Well maintained and clean. the new owners were very accommodating and they have plans for upgrading this property."

"We stayed here because I was working in Cedar Falls and in Ames and this was a good halfway point. It is so peaceful by the river and the host was very accommodating. My husband lives with a physical disability and doesn't handle stairs well; this place has no stairs and was very accessible and worked well for him. Our dog loved it too, plenty of green space. A lovely spot in a small town, one of our favorite stops. Thank You!"
