Great Family Venue

Everything was well stocked (dishes, pots, pans and even toilet paper, paper towels, and bath towels.) Oven on main level was a bit confusing but someone from our group figured it out. Only downside was the microwaves were a bit small. Overall it was the best rental for the money. Will definitely consider staying again.

Nice getaway

This was a nice little get away in a small friendly little town. Was just looking to get away for a bit and enjoyed this. While the home was a little outdated, it was still warm and friendly. The pub in town served a huge ad fantastic meal. If you are looking to get away for a bit and have some 'me' time, I would say this is a nice spot to do it.

Accurate Listing

This house worked great for our family while visiting in the area. It is as advertised, not a new house but nice & clean. Everything in the house worked great. The only negative is, we stayed in the winter time & there was no humidifier & the hot air heat resulted in very dry air. We would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Kobliska

Host profile image
We have lived in the Alta Vista area all of our lives and welcome you to enjoy our slice of northeast Iowa. We operate two guesthouses in Alta Vista, one in Nashua on a small lake, one in New Hampton, as well as other, more traditional rental properties.

Why they chose this property

This house was my mother's and we wanted to keep it in the family. It was always well maintained and offers a homey, comfortable, very reasonably priced stay.

What makes this property unique

With a second guesthouse directly across the street from Grandma Z's, we have many guests who rent both houses at the same time for larger family gatherings (while still providing some welcome privacy to family members). These homes work well for getting families together, short term rentals for job assignments in the area as well as various other lodging needs.
