G’s Home Away From Home

Newly remodeled house, set on a half acre lot in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Located within a mile of the interstate, yet still close to central downtown Iowa City. Fenced in side yard, 2car garage, all new appliances in 2023. Beautiful backyard. If you like tossing a football or baseball, the front yard is also large. Wide long driveway provides plenty of off street parking. Large enough to accommodate for most RV's. Plenty of unique, locally owned, restaurants just a few minutes away. The neighborhood is mostly middle class professionals with well behaved educated kids. Great location for a walk or run. everything you need is close by. Gas ,coffee, food, park, grocery store and more are a short drive or long walk away. We live just a few blocks away and should be able to help out quickly when you need us. Bring a refrigerator magnet from your state, town, business or whatever and add it to our refrigerator !!!

Perfect Fall Weekend in IC
Our family booked a long weekend for my husband’s 50th birthday celebration. One of our daughters is a student at University of Iowa and it also happened to be their homecoming weekend. So we had plenty of activities to do in town, went to the parade and football game!! Also did an official college visit with our high school junior, she loved it!! The home was beautiful, super clean and had everything we needed!! High end finishes, gorgeous kitchen, thoughtful touches by the host such as coffee/creamer and complimentary apple cider shots. Yum! Lovely neighborhood, close by the University and plenty of shops and restaurants! Look forward to staying again in the future!!

Great Iowa City property
We stayed while visiting our niece at the University of Iowa. There were 6 of us and the house was a perfect setting for our overnight trip. Easy to get to, in a nice neighborhood and super clean home. We had everything we needed at the house. Amenities were great! It was so nice being able to all stay together vs multiple over priced hotel rooms. Highly recommend this home to anyone staying in Iowa city.

Lovely Family Home
This home was perfect for our family of four. The bedrooms were comfortable, clean, and spacious. The kitchen contained everything we needed for preparing meals. I especially appreciated the coffee and tea that was provided. The location was a nice, quiet setting and we enjoyed sitting on the deck and spotting wildlife. Communication with the host was timely and helpful. I definitely recommend this property to anyone staying in the area for any reason.

Lovely quiet retreat in Iowa City
The house was very quiet, clean, spacious, very comfortable, and the hosts were immediately responsive when we contacted them. We loved the place and would definitely stay there again. It was centrally located to all our destinations, and the HyVee was a short walk away.

Surgical stay
This house was such a pleasant surprise!! We were in town for surgery of a family member and its convenience to the hospital was perfect. The space allowed us to come and go at the hospital and was great for me to get some work done in between. Comfortable beds and all the amenities of home.

Beautiful Home!
My sisters and I had a wonderful weekend in Iowa City and really enjoyed this home! It is beautifully renovated and very spacious and open. The home was very clean and had most everything we needed (we did need to purchase a corkscrew which we left for future guests). Overall it was very comfortable, and we would definitely recommend it. The one downside that we noticed was that the listing is for a 2+ bath home and included pictures of three bathrooms including 2 showers, but there are only 2 bathrooms in the home. This did not affect us negatively as there were only 3 of us, but if we'd all been couples staying there with a party of 6 and expecting three baths with 2 showers, I can see how it could have been very inconvenient. Otherwise, super clean, and comfortable and nicely redone. Thank you for hosting us!
