We are still sprucing up the outside. There is a private paved driveway for your convenience. You will enter the large living room, complete with hardwood floors and a limestone gas fireplace. There is a designated workspace featuring a desk. Two bedrooms include plush queen-size beds. The third bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed. We have provided a high chair and pack 'n play to make traveling with children easier. The kitchen is complete with stove, refrigerator, Keurig, microwave, and dishes needed to help you prepare home-cooked meals during your stay. Enjoy the quiet neighborhood while relaxing on the porch swing on the large cozy front porch. Our home is 3 blocks from the largest town square in the U.S. It is also a short bike ride from the Lehigh Portland Trails and the Prairie Spirit Trail State Park.

The inside was adorable and very roomy. The front porch was great to sit and talk. Very comfortable beds. Everything was so well organized. Wish we could of stayed longer
This property was just lovely. It was very clean and comfortable in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The owners were great and I would gladly stay here again.
Everything in the home is description is accurate! We enjoyed the front porch in the morning! The home has Roku and Dish Cable so we were able to watch the Chiefs game!
The house was so comfortable and had everything one might need for a great stay in Iola. The kitchen had plenty of cooking supplies. Beds were very comfortable and tv channel and livestream options were great. We were there during the holiday season and the house had plenty of Christmas decorations, including a lighted tree. Enjoyed our stay very much!
This property was perfect, as close to home as you can get and very clean.
We had plenty of space to allow our grandchildren to spend the night with us while we were there.
We are looking forward to booking again for our return trip in the fall or next summer.
Grams, Papa, Mom, Dad, granddaughter, and grandson all stayed and turkey hunted at a nearby farm. What a great place to relax, play, and enjoy a meal together after a morning of hunting!!
Love love this house—close to the square (walking distance); super clean and decorated so cute; lots of little touches throughout —hosts are super responsive and welcoming! We’ve stayed there 4 years in a row bc we love the location and layout. And love the front porch—we drink coffee out there each morning and enjoy the slower pace…
Perfect for our family to stay on a weekend trip to Iola, Ks.
Great communication with owners. Everything we could possibly need was available and ready for us at the house.
Owners even left us some brownies!
Loved the house—lots of small touches like coffee and candy that made our stay more enjoyable and convenient. Misty and Bill are super responsive to any question.
We already re-booked for next summer!
This 3bdrm bungalow did not disappoint!! I've stayed at many vrbo and this is the first with a crock pot. It's the little things that make a big difference. The place was very clean, decorated beautifully and had all the extras that make you stay comfortable and like home. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again!
This property is a nice older home. The owners are still in the process of redoing a few things, but that didn't effect the comfort of this stay.

This is our first property to be listed as a vacation property and we think you will enjoy this cute home. We hope that you will consider staying at our bungalow! Bill and Misty Hobbs
