About Lisa Martin-Eatinger
I grew up in Iowa near here and enjoyed the family picnics at the state park. My extended family is still in the area! We now live in downtown Chicago, and this retreat is a great escape from our hectic lives.
Lisa Martin-Eatinger purchased this House in 2011
Why Lisa Martin-Eatinger chose Solon
My family has been enjoying Lake MacBride since it first opened. My grandmother told me about her experiences growing up and enjoying the lake so she made sure to bring her children. My mother has great stories of Lake MacBride and the Coralville Reservoir and she made sure to bring me and my brothers! Now a fourth generation, my own daughters, are growing up with peace and tranquility because of this fabulous property.
What makes this House unique
We are next to cross-country ski and snowmobile trails!

Wonderful place to stay
5/5 Stayed Sep 2018

We loved having our adult children and grandchildren stay with us as we attended our daughters wedding that weekend. This home made it possible. There's lots of room yet it's cozy.
Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Wonderful Bachelorette Weekend

We rented this cabin for my daughter’s bachelorette weekend. We had 14 people staying and it accommodates all of us perfectly. There were plenty of beds to sleep in and the kitchen and den were perfect. So much fun and a truly beautiful cabin. Right by the lake and close to Solon, North Liberty, and Iowa City. We can’t say enough about our stay. It was an amazing weekend full of memories!

Such a great cabin and so thoughtfully hosted. With 4 young kids the two televisions and wifi were great when the weather didn't treat us well. The cabin is well furnished with plenty of beds, futons, etc.. Bathrooms are clean and modern. The state park is nearby and Solon has everything you need (grocery store, pizza restaurant, bar). Check out the beer and food in the Big Grove Brewery.
We were very impressed with the cabin. Highly recommended.

We had a great time together in this cottage. Everyone 13-70 years was glad to be there.

The House was clean, well organized, and ideally located 1 mile from the park and beach. Everything worked, and Lisa was very helpful and welcoming. We routinely had deer visit the yard. If I had to choose something to suggest, perhaps fewer decor items for a more open feel. I would stay again, and I hope we do! Perfect for extended family get together.
