Great for big gatherings

This was a great property for the entire family to spend the weekend! 2 livings rooms, 2 kitchens, great outdoor areas, this gave us plenty of room for both teens and adults to have their own areas!

Great place for a long weekend away from it all

Property was exactly as advertised. Actually, it was bigger than it looks in the pictures. Plenty of room for 4 friends getting together for a long weekend of grilling, card playing and catching up. The house was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed and worked perfectly for our needs. The owner was very helpful and accommodating when we arrived. I can't say enough about the owner on how helpful she was after a small mix up on the arrival date/time. We will definitely rent this property again in the future!

Fantastic Spot for Quiet Weekend w/Friends

I visited in the Fall with a group of 7 girlfriends, all in our 30s. We had cancelled a trip to Chicago due to COVID concerns and were looking for something close to Iowa City that we could just get away for a couple nights and hangout. From the moment we arrived, we were in love. This home exceeded all expectations. We fully immersed ourselves in all it had to offer - fire pit, grill, walks in the country, plenty of space to lounge and enjoy each other’s company. For a group of women that don’t live in the country, it was everything we wanted. we also loved the setup of the house. The 4bed/2bath is exactly what we needed. Two kitchen areas allowed plenty of space to cook and store food. We especially over the back living room/lounge area. Already hoping to book this house again!

Golfing Adventure

Experience was good. Very private, quiet location. Perfect for a guys golf trip to Iowa City area. Had great time with pool and ping pong tables. Nice fire pit. Not a five star hotel, more like a man cave.

Great spot

Got together with some friends for golfing around the area. I know it's a hunting lodge, but worked great for us as well. Bedrooms were clean, great decor and living areas, and the pool table in the basement was a bonus. Austin was great to deal with and very responsive. Excellent experience, thanks!

March 2021

The property was pretty nice. The space was awesome and the beds were very comfortable. We didn't have internet. The cleanliness of property was poor. We ran the vacuum in living space with the coach and recliner. Pet hair all over the area rug. Kitchen floor wasn't clean. Garbage in container in kitchen. Dirty dishes in dishwasher. There wasn't enough hand soap, dishsoap, kleenex, and toilet paper. We went to Dollar General in Lone Tree to get those supplies for the week. The owner was very helpful when a sent a message about washer/dryer availability, grill, and bought pitchers for lemonade and tea. I couldn't contact him while we were at the property about the products that were scarce. We used washer/dryer and broght our own laundry detergent. He said we could use theirs. We folded the laundry left in dryer and we rewashed towels/sheets left in washer and dried and folded those. Our experience was very fun and would stay again. We will just be more prepared for the items that aren't stocked well. We didn't have enough garage bags. Not sure where we were supposed to dispose of the garbage. We piled ours in hallway. We didn't find a garbage can outside or dumpster. We loved the home and many of the features.

Beautiful property, unlimited things to do, decent house

We loved the property, and had a really nice visit. However we spent a lot of time vacuuming, cleaning, and removing hundreds of flies. The bugs became a huge problem (spiders, flies, and even roaches). The property managers were very kind and willing to help after telling us they had some not so clean guests and had a hard time preparing the house in time for our visit. I was also extremely nervous that my 2 and 4 year olds would fall down the basement stairs since there was no railing or door to close it off. The beds caused a lot of the adults to have back pain, they are extremely firm. But we did love having the 2 kitchens, and 2 living areas and all that land to ourselves. Still an enjoyable family visit, but unfortunately we wouldn't go back for another visit.

Nice Place!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay! It's a nice and quiet property but still close enough to town if you need to grab anything. During our stay we really enjoyed the nice big kitchen island for all of our cooking, playing pool, and relaxing by the fire pit at night. Also, the owners had great communication and were very quick to respond if I had any questions.

Iowa Visit

We enjoyed a week in Iowa City area. We played golf, visited the Casino, and relaxed. We grilled out on the patio every night and gathered around the bar for a few beers each evening. The large kitchen island provided plenty of seating. We brought a k-cup coffee pot and cooking utensils but shouldn't have...the house has everything that we needed. Plenty of dishes, plates and silverware. Having 2 large fridges was very convenient too. I really can't think of anything that you would need to bring along, the house has it all.

Wonderful property for a family visit!

We wanted to visit our daughter and grandkids and we are from Texas. This property was perfect to be secluded during Covid 19, cook, eat, drink and be merry! Wildlife all around and plenty to do in the house and outside. We bought some poker chips and a couple of card games to leave here for our next stay. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. We made many memories and thoroughly enjoyed each other and the peace. We will be back!

Vacation 2020

We were looking for something that kept us apart from people due to covid19 so a place in the country was perfect. Home still in process of remodeling and suited for hunters. Our family of hunters loved the decor especially the elk on the wall
