Loved being able to walk downtown CDA, and beyond along the lakeshore, past the local college. Also, went up Tubs Hill for lovely views. Did a drop-in class at the Cross Fit on 4th and CDA Ave for free. The instructors and classmates were very welcoming! In past visits, have also used the rock climbing center at the YMCA.
Breakfast was awesome at Michael D's eatery- enough for 2 days. Must get the mini-zuchinni bread loaf which comes as a side with the omelettes. Another day tried the Bakery By the Lake, which had yummy cinnamon rolls, and free Wi-Fi if needed.
Attended a friend's wedding for the weekend, and prepped with a mani/pedi, and blow-out hair style at Polished downtown on Sherman. The wedding rehearsal dinner was at the CDA golf resort, where we were able to hang out at the infinity pool during the day beforehand. The view was unbelievable, and there were rented jet skis to enjoy the lake water as well.
Wedding was held on top of a hill at Elks Point, and after party was at the Iron Horse. For a quieter venue, I'd suggest Whispers at the CDA resort.
Overall, the Immaculate Guest House was very convenient location, and an economical choice vs. local hotel prices. The shower head was the large rain style, with hand held option. Having laundry on site was a big bonus. There was a coffee pot, and filters; but no coffee. So, stop by the near by Harvest Foods, a couple blocks East on Sherman for staples.
I didn't cook anything while there, as most meals were included in wedding activities. The last meal together was at Tony's on the Lake; the scallop appetizers were spicy and enough for a main course. However, the VRBO kitchen has everything needed if you'd prefer to cook your own meals.
I would definitely recommend this VRBO to anyone, and stay there again. The owner was very responsive to my needs when required.
