Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad the space gave your family plenty of room to spread out and that everything was ready for your stay. It was a pleasure helping out with any questions along the way.
Great place to stay with a nice river view. Location was ideal being close to Pella, yet quiet and peaceful place to rest with our family. We hope to stay there again our next trip.
Host was very generous. Place was amazing. Kids enjoyed fishing on the dock. They also enjoyed the game room. Was an amazing place.

Glad your group had such a great time. It's great to hear the kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and had fun in the game room. Thank you for sharing this experience!
We rented both properties for the weekend of our daughter's wedding to host family from out of town. They had a wonderful time and we couldn't have asked for a better location. The property was clean and beautiful and had everything we could have needed- and then some. The communication was perfect, making check in and check out very simple. We will definitely be renting here again in the future!

Thank you for sharing this with us! We're so happy the properties made hosting your family for your daughter's wedding weekend such a special experience. It means a lot to hear the homes were clean, beautiful, and had everything you needed, and that check in and check out were simple. Congratulations to your daughter, and thank you for letting us be part of the celebration.
Bedrooms were all great but the sofa sleepers were not in great shape. There was plenty of room on the floors though so kids made it work. Over all it was a great place to stay and host was great to work with.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for taking great care of the property. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the bedrooms and had an overall great stay. Since your visit, we’ve repaired the broken board in one sofa sleeper and replaced the other sofa’s mattress with a memory foam option to improve comfort for future guests. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!
Had a great time! This place has it all from tons of blankets, LOTS of game for kids, soft beds, fishing area, firepit, full kitchen and back up bath and body items if forgotten with the excitement of vacation time!!! Hoping to make this a summer spot for many yrs to come.
The property was just like the pictures! House was clean and in great shape! The view of the river from inside the house and from the deck was amazing. It even had a hotel type waffle maker!
Thanks so much for staying with us. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and we greatly appreciate your positive review. We’d love to host you again in the future!
