The “Lily Pad” was the perfect home away from home for BVU Family Weekend. It’s charming and well-stocked; I was able to make a few home cooked meals for my college freshman. The location is perfect, and Erin was flexible and accommodating. We’ll definitely stay again.

This rental was absolutely beautiful, spacious, and exceptionally clean. The location couldn’t have been better, right on the main strip, with coffee shops, bakeries, and great dinner spots just steps away.Erin was an exceptional host. She communicated frequently and was incredibly helpful with anything we needed throughout our stay. She also provided some great recommendations for places to eat and visit, which made our trip even better.We HIGHLY recommend this rental and will definitely be staying here again!

The Lily Pad is a beautiful apartment in a great location! It was so fun to wake up and get doughnuts on Saturday morning, then go shopping in the afternoon. Lux Lily is below the apartment and they created beautiful flower arrangements for us. Also, a family favorite, LaJanitas Mexican restaurant, was just a few steps away. Erin was very responsive and has thought of everything one would need for a family friendly and comfortable stay. We plan to stay at the Lily Pad again!

Be ready for stairs, and the ac is on the wall in the kitchen and one in the dining room area. So the farthest room was a little warm, which we were lucky and a family member likes it that way. It’s in an amazing location and the bakery across the street it’s highly recommended. The only problem we had is the back door hinges were not screwed in so we couldn’t use the back patio, and there seems to be some kind of chewy melted snack food items stuck to the sheets in one of the beds. I got it cleaned up and it wasn’t a big deal to us as I have grandkids and messes get missed. Oh and we couldn’t figure out how to plug the drain so the kids could take baths. But loved the furniture (so comfortable) and it wasn’t such an inviting space. Very roomy. We would definitely stay here again.

Hey Kelli—we did have an incident where a guests husband pulled the back door off the hinges…we didn’t find out until the next stay. Rest assured that issue has been fixed and we are ready to welcome guests to the rooftop patio! Glad to hear you would stay again!

Perfect apartment for our family!

My husband and I and our two kids (5 and 8) stayed here during an Iowa road trip. The apartment was exactly as listed- clean, spacious, updated, and adorably decorated. Wonderful access to shops, food, and the lake. Erin was quickly responsive (within a few minutes) to questions during our planning stages and during our stay. Wonderful host! Highly recommend!
