Fits big families!

This was our third year staying here and as usual the house was great! Plenty of space for all the cousins to run around and play while giving the adults their own area to chill. Plus the nearby waterpark is a family favorite!

Nice home for family get together!

Our extended family gathered for a long weekend, the home was perfect for us! The pond was a hit for fishing and the kids loved the close by water park. Open living spaces upstairs & in the basement made it ideal for various age groups to spend time together!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My family and I went to Waterloo for a short weekend getaway to visit the water and amusement park. This house was perfect. Perfect size with lots of room for the kids to play inside and outside. WONDERFUL location if visiting the parks. Was easy commute if needed to take a break from the parks, eat some lunch, and go back! The host was very responsive and helpful when needed. Highly recommend.

Delightful!

Loved the location. So close to amusement park, water park, mini golf, go carts, as well casino and more! For having neighbors around it was very peaceful and quiet. The deck in back overlooks cute pond that you can catch little fish in! (None were keepers but for grandma and the kids this was the best!) Bedrooms very clean and presentable. TVs in every bedroom as well. Easy check in and check out and communication with host very good. If every in Waterloo with the family would return with no hesitation!!! Thanks for great stay a
