Perfect place for our trip back to Drake University

As an alum of Drake University I planned a trip back for the Drake Relays with some friends. The place was perfect. Great location near campus. Lots of parking, plenty of room in the house and nice outdoor spaces. We had a great time and my guests complimented the place. Very clean, lots of amenities. Terrific !

Sisters trip

Very enjoyable stay for five 60-72 year old sisters. Extremely clean and a bedroom for each of us! Clean and plenty of linens in each bathroom. We enjoyed the fire ring and hot tub and taught the sisters carpet pool which was fun to see as I have enjoyed it in campgrounds we’ve stayed in. Nice to be able to cook breakfast as all necessary kitchen items were available in the cabinets. Good central location to all venues we were interested in visiting. Would recommend to others highly.
