Biggest and most troublesome problem happened when the lower level flooded - septic issue. Owner did send property manager (she was fabulous and worked her butt off to mediate issues) and plumber ASAP and problem was resolved after about 6 hrs. In the meantime no one could use any plumbing facilities, extreme inconvenience. This resulted in checking out 24 hrs early due to some residual moisture and disinfectant odor. Was told some refund was forthcoming.

The property is as advertised, well located, and overall worked well for our two families who met there. Our biggest complaint is that the water never got hotter than lukewarm so showers were very quick!

Stay if you want be in a campground

We checked in at 4pm and the place was a mess. No one had been there to clean. I place was very dated and is in the campground with very little parking for several families to stay. The rooms are not as they look in the pictures. Upstairs 1 room with king bed, and 1 room with 2 queen beds is right. In the advertised pictures they just change the pictures and bed spreads to make it look like more rooms. The 3 bedrooms in the basement each had a full size bed with little walking room and no headboard or nightstands. This place was a step up from staying a camper in a close quarter campers. I give this place a negative 10!

Great location and nice property

We were late to planning and had only a couple options with 5 bedrooms to accommodate our full family. The property was great! I was a little concerned reading the reviews but it was great! Very clean! There were dehumidifiers in the basement to avoid any damp basement smell mentioned by others. We had a small issue with the air conditioning and left a phone message for the owner. He was at the door in 10 minutes!!! And quickly fixed the issue. The house sits right along the road but is primarily bike and golf cart traffic. We had ample parking and there is. Spot Long the road the was easy to park the boat. We were able to walk to Arnold’s park and the beach on quiet back roads. I would definitely stay here again.

Not as it looks in pictures

The property is in a RV court which is not listed on the description. The outdoor fire pit and patio area is very small and beside a busy road.. this property did not give a good depiction and the inside of the cabin is very dark. It could improve on cleanliness and the beds are not very comfortable . Many of the doors are warped, and do not close..one of the gas grills was not hooked up and the other was very dirty. I would not recommend this property.

We arrived to a clean property after having to wait to check in past the check in time. The property is located in an RV park and has a small, unkept yard. The patio was dirty and unkept with branches all over. It is not secluded at all, nor is it safe for children. The pictures were deceiving about the location of the property. The location is very busy located on a busy road and also with a road circling the house for any tenants to use. The house is not in walking distance of businesses or beaches. The house itself was clean. The kitchen faucet and dishwasher barely worked. We struggled to find information as there was no booklet or information left in the house for Wi-Fi login, remotes, checking out requirements, and garbage information. Parking spots were unclear. The host responded once in a while. We contacted owner about grill and remotes. One grill did not work and was not hooked up. For the amount of money spent to stay, we felt the information for booking was misleading.

Misleading listing

The main problem with the listing is that it is misleading. It does say that it is located next to an RV park, but does not reveal that there are RV's surrounding the house (literally within feet). One end of the house is the office to the RV park, and there is very little outdoor space. The only outdoor space available is pictured - a small porch and fire pit - and it is just a few feet from a fairly busy road. So, if you are looking for privacy and outdoor space, this place is not for you. Also, the house, especially the basement, was extremely damp and musty. This may have been worse because of the very wet summer that Iowa has had, but it made especially the basement unpleasant. All the doors in the basement were difficult or impossible to close because of the swelling due to the moisture. We usually do a lot of our own cooking on vacations, and the pots and pans at the house were not adequate for cooking family dinners. Otherwise, the house was clean.

Perfect house, big and clean

The upstairs rooms are huge and worked out great for cooking, eating and playing games. Used the outdoor table to eat too and fire pit one evening. Three bedrooms downstairs are fine to sleep. All three bathrooms were updated and very nice. Couldn't ask for more..so glad this was our place to stay!

We had a great time. We left a list of suggestions that we thought would be helpful for future guests. We are probably ‘unusual guests’ in that we enjoy being together, cook, bake, play lots of games n stay at the house for the most part. Thank you, Alan, for responding to my ‘issues’ and bringing a new grill. I hope you have a great season!
