Total Relaxation
The house is in the perfect setting to get away and just be! Our family came to enjoy some college football. After the game, we returned to the house and played games, watched movies, read, and had supper. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of space to be, and everything mentioned in the listing was as advertised. We had an amazing time and look forward to the possibility of staying here again! Thank you!!!

Amazing Property
The property was perfect for our weekend wedding. The venue was only 6 miles away in Oskaloosa. Everyone was pleased with the amenities of the house. We were all intrigued by the straw bale architectural design. The only drawback was my daughter’s allergies kicked in.

Friends
Enjoyed our stay. We have a group of 4 couples that stay close to Perry Lake every year. We played Foosball, ping pong, corn hole and created our own par 3, four hole golf course. We had no issues with the property.
