This was my first time renting a VRBO property (we were in town for my dad’s funeral) and so I learned some valuable lessons about being a better communicator to our host when our situation changed. But the host was very accommodating to our changing needs.

A Fantastic Stay

My friends and I recently had the pleasure of spending the weekend at Red Boar Ridge. We were very comfortable and found the location the perfect distance from the wedding venue and Diamond Jo. Would stay again!

Paige was awesome to work with as she offered us early check-in and extended check-out. She answered all of my questions promptly. We were in town for our daughter's wedding and were able to accommodate our adult children, spouses and granddaughter with plenty of beds. It was super to be able to relax for a bit in between the preparations and celebration. The home was clean and reminded me of our first home.

Red Boar Ridge

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Red Boar Ridge! We were in town for a wedding and booked the rental as a home-base for our long weekend. Everything we needed was available for our use (washer, dryer, blow dryers, towels, etc) which made packing for our travels real easy. Check-in was super easy.

Weekend Snow Getaway

Our stay was excellent. The farmhouse was just as advertised. The location was perfect for a family with young kids to be out in the country, but not remote or hard to get to. The house had plenty of space for us to not feel like we were on top of each other. Our kids enjoyed seeing the animals on the farm and playing in the snow!

Country Getaway

The house is very cozy. It's out in the country but town is not far away which is convenient. Great price for the size of house that you get. My gf and I enjoyed our stay. Plus they do allow you to bring your dog! Just keep them off the furniture and beds. We would visit again if we're in the area and would recommend it to others.

We loved the farmhouse! We typically stay in cabins in Iowa's state parks when we take a short break. This was a different experience for us. I really liked that we only had to pack clothes and food. The farmhouse included EVERYTHING that we could possibly need. I appreciated the composting and recycling. Our main reason for visiting the neighbourhood was to go to the Fossil and Prairie Center near Rockford. We spent 2 hours there and found enough fossils to make us happy! Other adventures were: the SPAM Museum, the nearby casino to eat and watch a football game, the Jolly Green Giant in Blue Earth, and some geocaching.I would recommend the farmhouse to anyone and would happily book it again.

Great Farm House

Highly recommend if ok with one bath. I would recommend. Great value. The sun room - Bed room does get very warm due to all the windows. AC Split was not working for us but fortunately the temps dropped to 36 from 78 the weekend we stayed. Very clean plenty of towels and hairdryer with iron and washer and dryer. Thank you Paige

Cute farmhouse

We loved the decor! The house was perfect for our group. We were in town for a wedding with our 2 children, my sister and her husband and my college aged nephew all stayed with us. We only wished the refrigerator had an ice maker, but that is not a deal breaker. The town was adorable and we felt welcomed everywhere we went. It was a rainy weekend, so we didn’t do much adventuring.

Just what we needed.

Stayed in Northwood for an extended family gathering and wanted a place to socialize with my smaller group. Great dining table for playing games with the kids safely asleep nearby. A working farm, so kids need to be 100% supervised, but that's true anywhere. Plenty of space for outdoor fun though!

Family Wedding Iowa Weekend

Hi! The property is a beautiful location. The farm is rented out to other folks for livestock and maybe more. The house is an old farm house, which we're used too. It's very charming! The beds are great! The AC did work with the window units and fans. The patio room is very nice. The front bedroom is also very nice. The upstairs bedroom needs new floor coverings. The inside needs cleaned better. There is too much heavy dust and then there were many lady bugs on the carpet. The AC unit remote in the patio bedroom didn't work, but was able to find a battery. Paige is a great host! She happened to be out of town, but no problem. Our family really enjoyed being together instead of separate hotel rooms or hotels. Thank you for renting to us!

Cute Farmhouse!

This farmhouse is very cute! Paige is also very communicative! There are lots of amenities the property offers we didn’t get the chance to take advantage of. Being an old farmhouse it does have some of the typical things you would expect. The only things we would have really liked to have change are the doors to the bedrooms. The one off the dining room is a sliding barn door and since the house sloped backwards, it wouldn’t stay closed. The second bedroom had a proper door with a nice big window in it, but no curtain to provide privacy. If you are a light sleeper, that second room might be a bit tough for you. It has a lot of amazing natural light, and you can hear the sounds of the birds singing to you as your natural alarm clock. I did find that some of the windows wouldn’t lock shut so perhaps if they were more securely shut, the sound wouldn’t penetrate as much.

The house was perfect for a neighborhood Dad's trip to play some golf, cards, and relax. The house is right next to the Nasty Nine golf course and very close to the casino.

Perfect for a wedding weekend!

We were in town for our daughter's wedding. The property offered us a peaceful place to get away from the hectic wedding activities. It was also perfect for our family as it gave everyone enough space to be in without getting in each other's way. The bridesmaids were able to enjoy their morning getting ready together in a very comfortable, homey atmosphere. The home provided everything that we needed and even reminded me of my grandparents' farm from my childhood, which was an unexpected perk. Also, Paige was extremely accommodating when I needed to come back and look for a missing item after check-out.

Milestone birthday celebration

My brothers and sisters gathered at this property to celebrate our mother's 90th birthday. The house was large enough to allow for family dinners and conversation around the dining room table but also gave us the space to have a little quiet time, if needed. The yard was so nice and provided a backdrop for some memorable family photos and videos.. I also have to give a shout out to Donnie, who went above and beyond to make sure we all had a wonderful time.
