This was a large beautiful home with a ton of character. We were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay together as a family instead of at a hotel so we could hang out after putting the kids to bed. This was an awesome house for our situation, having tons of beds/upstairs bedrooms. We were able to fit our entire family and separate the kids from the noise on the main level! We were so grateful to find this place that fit our needs perfectly. It was a very well taken care of place and made our stay work out perfectly!

This home is out in the country, but not far from the highway very peaceful. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. My team and I enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

It was not the easiest place to find but once we figured it out it was great. We were there in January and it had snowed so there was a little bit of difficulty figuring out where the driveway and parking were for sure since the snow had not been removed. The accommodations were perfect for our mixed group of people. We really enjoyed the space and fireplace as well as the great kitchen. Was a little bit surprised that there was leftover food in the fridge, the kitchen table had sugar and sticky stuff on it and there were no towels in the bathroom, they were in the dryer. There were a few burnt out lightbulbs. I wish the radiant heating was on to keep the floors warm. Nothing major and the stay was fantastic. We had a great time and will be back for another getaway if they will have us.

Molly was a great host and very helpful when we had questions and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable for our family. Her home was very clean, the furniture was really comfortable, and the home was on an active farm surrounded by beautiful and peaceful farm land. The home is also only about 10 minutes to Adel which has a cute little downtown area with several resturants and only about a half hour to the West end of Des Moines which had a lot of shopping and activity. It was a perfect stay for us.

Amber went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Her 100 year+ home is in a historic district of Council Bluffs adjacent to the Gilbralter Neighborhood Trailhead. Several of our family members took advantage of its proximity and went hiking during our visit. Her home is a mix of old and new - 19th and early 20th century craftsmanship, such as a beautiful central staircase, combined with 21st century technology such as WiFi, and numerous televisions throughout the expansive home. Fun amenities include a pinball machine and a treadmill for exercise. My family especially enjoyed competing on the pinball machine. Amber’s home was stocked with all sorts of treats ranging from muffins to a charcuterie tray. Whenever we had a question either about something in the home or some activity in the area, Amber was very quick to respond. I’ve stayed in numerous vacation rental properties. This one stands out in all the right ways. I would definitely recommend.

Our stay here was wonderful! The house had a beautiful landscape and it was relaxing.

Very unique place! I was pleasantly surprised with how nice this place was. Very clean and comfortable.
