About the host

Host profile image

I enjoy creating spaces where guests can relax, spend time together, and have a memorable visit to Iowa City. I put a lot of thought into the details of The Rooftop Lounge, from the smart-home technology and entertainment features to the private rooftop and outdoor spaces. My goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, well-equipped home and a smooth experience from check-in to checkout. Whether you're visiting for a Hawkeye weekend, graduation, family gathering, work trip, or simply a getaway, I want you to feel at home and enjoy everything the property has to offer.

Why they chose this property

I chose this location because it offers a great balance between easy access to Iowa City and a more comfortable place to relax after a busy day. Downtown Iowa City, the University of Iowa, Kinnick Stadium, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment are all within an easy drive or rideshare. The property is also conveniently located near I-80, making arrival and departure simple for guests traveling from out of town. It's a great home base for Hawkeye weekends, University of Iowa visits, graduations, weddings, family trips, and exploring the Iowa City area.

What makes this property unique

The private rooftop is what truly sets The Rooftop Lounge apart. Guests have approximately 800 square feet of private outdoor space featuring a hot tub, natural-gas grill, gas fire pit, outdoor dining, lounge areas, and built-in speakers.

Inside, the approximately 1,924-square-foot condo was designed as a luxury smart-home experience. It features Alexa-enabled controls, Lutron smart lighting throughout much of the home, whole-home audio with 16 built-in ceiling speakers throughout the condo, garage and rooftop, smart TVs, a Samsung smart refrigerator, a gourmet kitchen, and plenty of space for groups to gather.

With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, accommodations for up to 11 guests, garage and driveway parking for multiple vehicles, and a 240V EV connection, the property combines the space of a vacation home with amenities you won't typically find in an Iowa City hotel or rental.

It's not just a place to sleep - the rooftop, hot tub, smart-home features, entertainment system, and gathering spaces are part of the experience.
