Awesome farmhouse property
The perfect farmhouse setting. We had the whole Iowa family from Cedar Rapids come down to visit us at this vrbo. It reminded them of the farm property they all grew up on about 50 miles away in Independence. With all the trees, grass paths and deer each morning, it was a joy to sit on the front yard porch swing sipping coffee!

Relaxing stay
We enjoyed our stay at the property. The quietness helped us reconnect with old friends. This house is well taken care of and accommodates all six guests. Its location sets it apart from other VRBOs and makes the decor attractive.

Peaceful, Homey and Quiet Country Setting
We really enjoyed our relaxing stay at this clean, comfortable and quiet country acreage. The rural setting off Highway 1 was easy to get to and a short and easy drive to Cedar Rapids and Iowa City/Coralville, along with the quaint downtowns of Solon and Mount Vernon. We appreciated the roomy bedrooms and especially liked the large living rooms on the upper and lower levels. The stereo in the upper living room was excellent and the floor to ceiling bookshelves on the lower level offered many interesting reads. Our 2 year old granddaughter also enjoyed playing with the games and the dolls. The kitchen was nicely equipped and I enjoyed my early morning coffees in the rocking chair. The owner was very friendly and the care given to the home was evident throughout. We look forward to our next stay when visiting the area!

The Farm Getaway
Wonderful house and property. Perfect for our Scrapbooking Adventure! Plenty of room for spreading our materials in the dining room. Big Bonus was the trail through the uplands with views of the woods. We saw deer, raccoons, rabbits, and songbirds during the day; fireflies and frogs calling at night. Excellent and helpful host.

Great second stay
This is the first time we’ve ever stayed at a property a second time! We love this house and its perfect location. We have small kids so we enjoyed being able to enjoy nature, spend time at home, and find stuff in the city. The sunroom is the perfect space for the evenings and mornings. We stayed up late playing board games and chatting after kids went to bed. There’s also a lot of outdoor space and we enjoyed watching the deer drink from the pond and lots of varieties of birds. The host was responsive to our needs and everything felt clean and orderly.

University Family Weekend Stay
This is a wonderful property! Clean and spacious, we enjoyed staying on the main level and having our adult children in the basement. It nice being out of town and being able to go for long nature walks right in property and seeing woods out of all the windows, but not having an outrageously long drive to campus and Coral Ridge Mall. Highly recommend!’n

Perfect location for our daughters wedding at Wilson’s Orchard. Less than 5 minutes away. Easy access for my elderly parents, they loved that they had their own walk in shower and bathroom on main floor. My husband and I were downstairs with our two sons, perfect. So many windows! Saw deer in backyard. Will recommend.

Great house & location
The house was in a quiet location not too far from the University of Iowa campus and grocery stores. Great seating around 2 tables (kitchen & dining), well-equipped kitchen, a big living room, and comfortable beds. We didn’t use the downstairs living room, but the eclectic book collection is amazing! We enjoyed our time here and we are looking forward to staying again in the future.

Great place to relax with friends!
We used our weekend to celebrate a birthday with friends. Only 2 couples but the house would be perfect for 3 couples or a group of girlfriends or sisters. Plenty of private space or plenty of gathering spaces. It is in a perfect location between Iowa City or Kalona and Solon or Mt Vernon. Great hiking & biking nearby. Although we did not cook, the kitchen had everything you might need to do so. It is a very private, rural location which we loved. Perfect for sitting watching birds while having morning coffee. Lots of property to roam when the weather is nice.
