Wonderful and clean place. Family was able to spend quality time and attend graduation in Tiffin.
The room were comfortable. The family enjoyed walking around the property. The kids saw some deer, heard the geese and bull frogs. Loved the back deck. Very quiet and peaceful setting. One suggestion is placing more lights on the front porch and maybe ceiling fan.

Great Country Home Pet Friendly
Stepping into this exquisite country home, we were pleasantly surprised to find our expectations exceeded. In search of a pet-friendly retreat away from the city's hustle and bustle for our niece's wedding at the Midnight Gem, this home was an ideal choice - perfectly situated and beautifully appointed. The hosts were outstanding, ensuring a seamless check-in and checkout experience.

Family Thanksgiving Dinner
Had a great stay at the house. We had 27 people for dinner and we all fit in the sunroom. It is a lovely updated old farm house which does mean a smaller kitchen and small bedrooms with the exception of the master which was huge. The hosts responded promptly to every question. Very clean. There is also a very friendly cat!

The house is just as listed. It was a neat farm house, tucked away in the country. The rooms were all neat, and the back yard is beautiful. The owners were very easy to work with. We all loved it.

Annual Family Gathering
Property and weather were perfect for our weekend stay. House was very accommodating to meet our family needs. We had 11 people and 1 dog. Plenty of room for us all. The property is full of things to check out. We loved exploring. A couple miles down the road we tried some fishing and hiking at FW Kent Park. Beautiful area. We will be back.

Country Character
When some people say a house has "character" they mean it with negative connotations. This couldn't be farther from that usage. When I say this house has country charm and character, I mean it in the best way. It was quirky, spacious, and inviting. We felt right at home as we made it our homebase for a weekend spent relaxing, enjoying each other's company and watching the Hawkeyes at Kinnick as they beat the Purdue Boilermakers. We couldn't have asked for a better location or amenities and everything worked out great. Highly recommend.

Enjoyable vintage farmhouse set in beautiful countryside
We enjoyed the home, the setting. Did some walking about the acreage despite the heat. Boys played whiffle ball. Plenty of room. Three slept in the darling bunkhouse until a spider and frog appeared. So we made room in the house for the city slickers. Kids enjoyed the stray cat! I think the cat enjoyed the food and water. Very friendly.

Family getaway
Enjoyed our stay very much! A family getaway for family as well as a birthday party for my grandson and 4 of his friends. They had a great time exploring and we drove them to the lake just a few miles away as well. A very relaxing atmosphere and a lovely old home to spend the time in. Very well maintained.

A Spacious Place to Enjoy
This house was a great place to just relax and enjoy time together with family. The ten of us found it a great jumping off point for attending the family reunion in Iowa City, visits to Kalona and the Amanas, an excursion to St. Mary’s Church in Newport, golfing at Finkbine and Amanas golf courses, and traveling to the Field of Dreams in Dyersville. The lightening bugs and the thunder and lightening storm were a bonus for family members who’d not seen them before!

Hidden Prairie Paradise
My family and I had a wonderful time at this cozy farmhouse!!! We rented it for my daughters graduation from the University of Iowa so we could be together instead of separate in hotel rooms! There ended up being six of us, and everyone was comfortable in their rooms! My daughters shared a huge king bed upstairs! It was a great location!! it was easy to get to Cedar Rapids for the day and to get to Iowa City for graduation! I loved that there was a big dining room table for all six of us in the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The two bathrooms were very nice. We watched a slideshow in the living room on the smart TV and it connected easily. We were too busy to really enjoy the backyard and pond, but it was beautiful and peaceful and you could see the stars very clearly at night. We did not use the extra room outside the house. He was a great host and answered all my questions. I would go back!

This property was spacious enough to host our group of 14 adults. Plenty of parking space. The property is at the end of a dead end, which made our stay very peaceful. The outside amenities was perfect for us. The homeowners were very easy to work with, prior, during, and after our stay. I would highly recommend this place!

Big, beautiful place to reconnect
I had the opportunity to host a gathering of friends and family in this big, beautiful home. The homeowners were wonderful to work with. The space was just perfect for our gathering, giving us the opportunity to spread out and visit in the kitchen, living room, and sunroom. Multiple spots for board games and a lovely property to explore were highlights for me. My guests enjoyed the heated floor in the sunroom immensely and talked about incorporating something similar into their homes. The space was comfortably lived in without feeling scruffy. It is a beautiful home and I hope to host gatherings here for years to come.
