Very nice location. Had a great time with plenty of room and amenities.it was very hot so didn't have a chance to enjoy the sunroom. But did use the grill for some steaks and made a nice dinner. We each had our own room and it was nice to have another bathroom downstairs. We are definitely planning to stay here again.

Girls((thats a stretch) trip

We were very comfortable! The property was nice enough that we felt we were somewhere special but not so fancy we were walking on eggshells. Our 3 days were filled with side trips, birthday parties and fun.

Very nice property. The screened in porch is a nice place for all to hang out. Big kitchen. Having the smart TV is nice for viewing options. Fairly easy walk to city beach. All in all a great spot for being by the lake.

Great house for small group

This is a comfortable house! The huge screened in back porch was so great. We watched fireflies, without the mosquitoes. The three bedrooms were perfect for our group. The kitchen is well stocked. The house is located just off North Shore Dr, close to the golf course. Fareway grocery store is close on highway.

Lake house

Place was perfect. Carols communication as good as it gets. The enclosed porch is better than the pictures show. Would rent again for sure. Watching a Hawkeyes game on that porch in the fall would be great. We were able to get to and from the carnival/city beach in 5 minutes.

Celebrate family

My sister, husband and I came to celebrate our elderly mother’s birthday. We found the house was the size we needed with the 2 bathrooms. At first we were a little concerned with the second bathroom in the basement, but it worked out fine. The dishwasher was a huge plus for us, and we enjoyed having the island to prepare meals. My husband was able to do a load of laundry, which made him happy! The home was comfortable, and the location was close to our mother’s. It’s also walkable to the surf, and downtown for some exercise. The neighborhood was quiet except for the occasional train, which we found nostalgic rather than unpleasant. 😊

Clean, good location and great communication!

Property was great! Very clean and well stocked. Carol was great at answering questions and we were close to downtown easy access to everywhere. The weather was not great while we were there so we stayed home and played games on the screened in porch. Would have loved to have basics TV channels ABC, NBC and CBS. I would highly recommend!

Nice place

Peppery was clean and tidy. Am older home but was very clean and was as advertised. Couldn’t get the tv in the master to work. I might suggest a roku in there. Had a great time for car show weekend. The garage was super helpful to store the classic cars.
