Great spot for a game

Came back with my family and some friends for a Hawkeye game and the house / location were perfect. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 kids. Was able to tailgate right in the front yard and quick 10 minute walk into the stadium. Owners also checked in several times to make sure our stay was going well.

Awesome for Graduation

The location was great for homebase during graduation weekend. It was close to campus and off site locations which made getting around easy. The house has a great open floor concept om main floor and plenty of room to spread out when needed. The owners were easy to work with and I would recommend staying here for anyone visiting Iowa City.

Home away from home

My family stayed for an early graduation for our son. The location was perfect. The home was perfect for our needs and was adequately equipped with essentials that made for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. We will definitely look for this gem again when we need a place to visit our son! Go Hawks

Ann from Dubuque

The home was clean & the main living area was perfect for our large family gathering. However, the upstairs bedroom was steep stairs to a dark bedroom. The lighting for the upstairs and the basement was not the best. I messaged the host to point out that if the lights were left on, we could better find the light switches rather than search for them in the dark. I got no response. Other than that, great spot. No parking on the street - 2 cars allowed in the driveway.

I hesitate to create this review only because I want this place to always be open when I’m in town. :) But, I must share that this is an excellent property. House is beautifully done and beautifully kept. Host is wonderful. You can’t ask for more. We will definitely come again.

Functional home for our out of town wedding to attend

Comfortably allowed 6 adults to spend two nights for a wedding weekend. Bring iron and lawn chairs if you think you'll need them. But the place had plenty of towels, kitchen needs, soap, paper products, etc. Communication with the owners was very good, check in a breeze. Minimal or no tasks as we left which made it easy to pack and go. No street parking which was okay for us, just a heads up. Definitely recommend!

Big family in town for son's wedding

The home was great for our family of 8. Owner was timely answering questions we had. If anyone has more than 2 cars needing parking (2 cars fit in the driveway), you will find it VERY difficult in this neighborhood to find a spot for your other cars. All streets that are walkable to the house are 1 hour parking only/no overnight parking/etc.

Wave to the best House near Kinnick

We had a wonderful stay at the Hamilton house. As we drove into Iowa City we were pleased to be lead to this Street so close yet private enough that we were in a sweet spot enclave to enjoy University of Iowa’s best location for a cheerful weekend. The home was clean, had everything you needed, even a great coffee spread with creative mugs to start your morning and the beverage counter and open kitchen was ready to transition for more yummy gatherings. Each room was cozy, unique and had storage to unpack and feel at home. The owners went above to create a home for you to revel Iowa’s vibe and provide you an easy escape. Just bring your luggage and your favorite foods and this house has it all to make “home” thank you - we can’t wait to stay there again!

Amazing property

This is a lovely older home that has been restored beautifully! Great amount of space for the 8 of us who stayed for Thanksgiving weekend. The location cannot be beaten! Great, quiet street that transformed into a family friendly pre football game tailgate. The only way to stay closer to Kinnick is to sleep on the field!

Clean, comfortable, pretty, and great location!

Loved staying here with our three children. The home is very clean and well cared for. It’s in a lovely neighborhood with a nice backyard - perfect for playing cornhole, which is supplied. The proximity to restaurants, the university, and all sorts of activities can’t be beat, and it’s only a short drive to the Amana Colonies. Highly recommend!

Unique Home & Thanks Excellent Location

This home had a great location to everything. The layout was awesome. Very well equipped. But bring an iron. Also parking is limited, no street parking. For future renters, you can park 1 street back behind the house if you have a few extra folks there. PS . Communication with owner was excellent.

Family gathering.

My sisters, daughters and niece met in Iowa City to celebrate my daughter's 40th birthday. The house was perfect for us to hang out, play games and visit. However a couple of downsides were the lack of parking and a kitchen that was missing a few things. The house was in a great location and very clean.

We had a great time at this VRBO, the house is updated, clean and very cute! The hosts left us a sweet welcome bag upon arrival, which was a nice touch. We had great communication throughout our stay as well. You can't beat the location (4 min. walk to Kinnick, the hospital, and Stella's Burgers!).

My wife and I have been living it up in Iowa City for almost a decade! We love this charming town and are so excited to offer a home to share with visitors =)

Why they chose this property

This charming home is located in the University Heights neighborhood, a lovely, quiet (except on game days), safe, and family friendly neighborhood. University Heights is its own municipality within Iowa City. This neighborhood boasts some excellent family-owned restaurants within walking distance of your AirBnB. Check out Stella and Maggie's Farm for great, nearby dining.

For great nightlife, downtown Iowa City is the place to be! There you'll find many bars, restaurants, and boutiques. Only a few minutes drive from our property or about a 15 minute walk.
