15 minutes from Iowa State, this was a great place to stay for parents weekend. We walked the campus, then relaxed in the hot tub.

The bunkhouse was a great place to stay for a few nights for my friends and I during the fall. It was a good size/good accommodations for the price. It was really a treat to have a hot tub on site to enjoy! They left us a cute little welcome basket as well.

The owners description of the cabin was modest to say the least. The owners goals in the decor, amenities provided, communication and ease of access was obviously to give their guests a relaxing and inviting stay.

We arrived later than planned after a long day of travel and were so happy to find an exceptionally clean, well-appointed cabin waiting for us. Everything was clearly designed with comfort in mind—from the comfy couch and well-stocked coffee bar to the incredibly comfortable bed with great pillows and convenient charging ports built into the headboard. The bathroom was lovely as well, with a great shower and thoughtful amenities. It was exactly what we needed to relax and unwind, and we would definitely stay here again.
