About the host
Hosted by Linda Kobliska
We offer several guesthouses in NE Iowa including accomodations in Charles City, New Hampton, Alta Vista, Nashua and Elma. All can be found on VRBO.
Why they chose this property
We love older homes--both the quality and the charm attract us every time. This home has been well preserved and offers the space, location and amenities desired by travelers.
What makes this property unique
This property allows a family to gather at a price that compares very favorably to hotels. The two sunporches on this property add that very special touch of a "special place to gather, enjoy a solitary cup of coffee, read, or host happy hour." The kitchen and dining area of this home seem to be everyone's favorite spot because of its open floor plan. We're not a "new" or super "modern" property but we are comfortable, roomy and welcoming.
