Great stay at this historical home. Beautiful update to kitchen. Large 5 bedroom, one full bath, one "powder room" on the first floor. We had 8 people staying-plan your showers!! Whole house very clean. Clear instructions before and upon arriving. Host prompt with responses. Easy to find, quiet neighborhood. 2 plus mile walk to stadium. Keep in mind this is a very old house and with it comes squeaky, slippery stairs and drafty rooms. The host requests shoes off in the house so bring slippers!

Very well laid out property perfect for family and friends that were in town for an Iowa Hawkeye game!

Super cute house with lots of room. The bathrooms are small, but that's to be expected in an old house. The kitchen was well stocked and beautifully updated. The beds were comfy and the rooms were spacious. Natalie was a gracious host. Overall it was a great stay!
