Fits big families!

This was our third year staying here and as usual the house was great! Plenty of space for all the cousins to run around and play while giving the adults their own area to chill. Plus the nearby waterpark is a family favorite!

Nice home for family get together!

Our extended family gathered for a long weekend, the home was perfect for us! The pond was a hit for fishing and the kids loved the close by water park. Open living spaces upstairs & in the basement made it ideal for various age groups to spend time together!

Delightful!

Loved the location. So close to amusement park, water park, mini golf, go carts, as well casino and more! For having neighbors around it was very peaceful and quiet. The deck in back overlooks cute pond that you can catch little fish in! (None were keepers but for grandma and the kids this was the best!) Bedrooms very clean and presentable. TVs in every bedroom as well. Easy check in and check out and communication with host very good. If every in Waterloo with the family would return with no hesitation!!! Thanks for great stay a

Exceptional place to stay

We enjoyed our stay and were blown away by the cleanliness and all it had to offer. Lots of towels, extra blankets/pillows, fully equipped kitchen and also had folding table and chairs for extra seating which was a huge bonus for our large family! One of the best rental houses we have ever stayed at! Easily located and only a couple minute drive from the lost island waterpark! Hands down one of the best rentals properties we have ever stayed at.

Very nice home

We stayed at this home for a family gathering and it was perfect. The parent adults could be upstairs visiting and the college age adults could be in the basement. We had 12 people over 18 yrs old in the house and we had plenty of room to spread out.
