Great place to stay!

The house was perfect for 10 of us staying as a family. We caught fish in the pond using the provided fishing equipment, enjoyed playing air hockey, ping pong and video games in the evenings and grilled out on the spacious deck. Very clean and the owner answered any question we had. I highly recommend this home!

Wonderful Family Reunion

What a wonderful home to spend with our extended family of 13 people ages 3 - 76. Clean, plenty of room, beds were all very comfortable. Especially enjoyed the setting near a pond. We appreciated being able to use the grill for our Sat night meal. Location perfect to enjoy the Lost Island Water Park. We will definitely stay again if in that area.

Very nice home

We stayed at this home for a family gathering and it was perfect. The parent adults could be upstairs visiting and the college age adults could be in the basement. We had 12 people over 18 yrs old in the house and we had plenty of room to spread out.

Weekend getaway

This is a very nice property. The home was clean and well staged. There is a nice deck overlooking a green space and pond. We were ables to sit outside and relax or congregate in one of two community spaces. The host was responsive and welcoming. I highly recommend this property for UNI families visiting their students.

Great family vacation and waterpark fun!

Loved this place! It was a very quick drive to the Lost Island park and was enough space for our whole family (grandparents, siblings, spouses, grandkids) to sleep and spread out. We loved the backyard pond and even caught a few bass! The patio was nice to relax and enjoy morning coffee and an evening fire. The kids had a blast playing air hockey and ping pong. We hope to stay again next summer!

This place is fantastic!!

This place was great.. Host was very responsive .. The house was beautiful and very comfortable... Close to town.. The fishing pond was feet from the back door...We brought our own poles.. But the host also provided poles and tackle.. Game room and game consoles for the kids downstairs.. You won't find a better place to stay.. Wish we could of stayed longer.. Definitely coming back!

Golf Getaway

This property is perfect for so many things. We had a golf weekend with some buddies and it was perfect. Slept 8 comfortably. This would be an ideal spot for families as it is close to the water park/ amusement park and has a great yard for any games that you might want to play. It had a pond for fishing as well. I would recommend this property for a friend or families get together.

In lack of nothing!

Walking into a fresh smelling, beautiful and immaculate home was so inviting in itself; but I was continually impressed that anything we would need was thought of. From kitchen utensils down to ice paks/first aid kit for injuries, we were able to find needed items. The air hockey was a hit and the fishing was as well. Comfortable beds, lots of linens, and couches super comfy. We had no trouble being entertained just inside the house, gaming etc...highly recommend this vrbo!
