A BIG thank you to the hosts
The house was so comfortable and had everything one might need for a great stay in Iola. The kitchen had plenty of cooking supplies. Beds were very comfortable and tv channel and livestream options were great. We were there during the holiday season and the house had plenty of Christmas decorations, including a lighted tree. Enjoyed our stay very much!

This property was perfect, as close to home as you can get and very clean.
We had plenty of space to allow our grandchildren to spend the night with us while we were there.
We are looking forward to booking again for our return trip in the fall or next summer.

Cutest cottage in Iola!!
Love love this house—close to the square (walking distance); super clean and decorated so cute; lots of little touches throughout —hosts are super responsive and welcoming! We’ve stayed there 4 years in a row bc we love the location and layout. And love the front porch—we drink coffee out there each morning and enjoy the slower pace…

Needs a little TLC
The hosts were awesome and very responsive and I’m so happy I found this house. Three good sized bedrooms and a nicely stocked kitchen. That is the up side. The down side is that the house is very old and I think it’s kind of falling apart. Also, I kind of think that the neighborhood is a little rough but honestly probably perfectly safe because it is such a little town. You will need to bring paper towels and toilet paper. Paper towels because there were none and toilet paper because the house has single ply dollar store stuff. Lol Don’t look under the master bedroom bed, it’s pretty dusty which made me giggle a little bit! Over all it was a good experience and MUCH MUCH MUCH better that any hotel in town.

Lovely stay
This 3bdrm bungalow did not disappoint!! I've stayed at many vrbo and this is the first with a crock pot. It's the little things that make a big difference. The place was very clean, decorated beautifully and had all the extras that make you stay comfortable and like home. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again!

Sister time
The lock was not easy to use and locked us out after three or four tries. I communicated with Bill on the website and he was great to call me back. He had a great back up plan.
The main reason my sister and I rented the bungalow vs a hotel was the fireplace. I don’t want to be negative, but after we had to call Bill to talk us through the start up, we were frustrated. He was great and sent his friend to start the fireplace. The “fireplace” shuts off after a couple of minutes and then it starts back up after about 15 minutes.🙄🙄 At that point, we turned the furnace on. It was so loud it was difficult to communicate.
We didn’t even try the TV situation which was fine. We had much to catch up with each other.
The reviews were “clean” when we booked. The kitchen counter is so scratched and does not scream “clean” in the least. And I’m glad they had two leather chairs to sit in as we were not going to sit in the couch or love seat.
The beds were comfortable. Again, Bill did communicating with us.

Clean, well appointed and even had a very nice lit Christmas tree. Quiet older neighborhood and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. You can tell that the renovation was well thought out. The location was very central to the town and easy in and easy out. Thumbs up.

Place was really nice and clean. Was all we needed as we were just staying the night to move our son into college the next day. Only complaint is neighbors dogs (not sure which ones) had dogs outside that barked the entire night. Other than that the place is perfect
