- A retractable baby gate at the top of the stairs in the loft area.
- Child safety locks on both the main entrance and sliding glass door leading to the sunroom.
- You will notice an additional entrance to the lower level of the home, but we have restricted access to that entrance via locked doors inside the home.

Great Memory Maker
This home pretty much met all of our needs and was stocked with great supplies. Very spacious and incredible view of the Cedar River, which was serene and enchanting. It was nice to know the owners were nearby and very responsive. We will be frequent returnees as we have family there locally. We were very pleased overall with our stay and the lovelh accomodations.

Quick Tournament Trip
Our son was competing in a wrestling tournament for the weekend so we made a quick trip to Cedar Falls and would never stay anywhere else! The property was clean and the owners were very quick in responding to any questions we had.

Stayed for a wedding
My daughter got married this weekend in Waverly at The Hidden Acre. We live 2 hours away and didn’t want to stay in a hotel, so found this gem of a place instead. It was perfect! My husband and I and our 3 other kids, plus my best friend from out of town all were very comfortable in this house. The view was beautiful in the mornings and we loved the quiet in the nights. The host was so easy to communicate with. We felt very welcome! We hope to be able to return during a time when we don’t have so much planned so we can enjoy the house more!

Cedar Falls River Front Get Away 2023
This property is one of the finest we have visited over the years. Super clean, beautifully upgraded, and nicely located overlooking the very pretty Cedar River. Quiet. The kitchen and sun room overlooking the river were superb. Thoroughly enjoyed this relaxing get-away. Very good value for the price.
