Very nice home
We stayed at this home for a family gathering and it was perfect. The parent adults could be upstairs visiting and the college age adults could be in the basement. We had 12 people over 18 yrs old in the house and we had plenty of room to spread out.

Weekend getaway
This is a very nice property. The home was clean and well staged. There is a nice deck overlooking a green space and pond. We were ables to sit outside and relax or congregate in one of two community spaces. The host was responsive and welcoming. I highly recommend this property for UNI families visiting their students.

Three siblings with Waterloo roots came back for a family reunion with their families. This property was excellent in all respects! Plenty of room for three adult couples on the main floor, and all of the kids (3 were 8-10 and 3 young teens) slept comfortably in the beds and sofas in the basement. Plenty of in house entertainment - TV, air hockey, ping pong, video games, and some old school board games. The kitchen was well equipped and ready to handle our large group. Spacious deck and large back yard space including a small pond suitable for fishing (with poles and basic tackle provided in the garage). Vacant garage served as an additional playroom/pickleball court. Our host/POC Nick was very quick and responsive to any communications. Very close to the waterpark as well as to the Crossroads shopping center area. Easy access to downtown Waterloo and environs. We come back to Waterloo every few years, and we will definitely be returning to this property in the future! For what is it worth, my cousin's company poured the foundations for the homes in this neighborhood.

Exceptional place to stay
We enjoyed our stay and were blown away by the cleanliness and all it had to offer. Lots of towels, extra blankets/pillows, fully equipped kitchen and also had folding table and chairs for extra seating which was a huge bonus for our large family! One of the best rental houses we have ever stayed at! Easily located and only a couple minute drive from the lost island waterpark! Hands down one of the best rentals properties we have ever stayed at.

In lack of nothing!
Walking into a fresh smelling, beautiful and immaculate home was so inviting in itself; but I was continually impressed that anything we would need was thought of. From kitchen utensils down to ice paks/first aid kit for injuries, we were able to find needed items. The air hockey was a hit and the fishing was as well. Comfortable beds, lots of linens, and couches super comfy. We had no trouble being entertained just inside the house, gaming etc...highly recommend this vrbo!

Perfect house for kids!
We've stayed here twice now and we absolutely love it. The lower level is perfect for kids to play and keeps the noise away from the adults upstairs. The pond in the backyard is great for fishing (we caught a few dozen) and the nearby water park is a hidden gem. It easily fit our 3 families with plenty of breathing room. We will definitely be returning!

Weekend with kids and grandkids
Every other year we get together with all of the kids and grandkids at a new area. This year it was Waterloo. We had a great time being together and enjoyed music from kids, playing games and food. Everything ended too soon, but many memories made. The property met our expectations but the weather did not allow anything outdoor.

Thanksgiving in Waterloo
The location and layout of this house fit our needs perfectly! My brothers and their families, Mom and I have gathered the past 25 years the week of T-day. This year Mom didn't feel up to traveling, so we came from 6 different states! The 3 bedrooms on main level worked great for my 3 brothers, the bunk beds were perfect for 4 cousins (ages 8-13) and the pull out sofa sleepers perfect for 15 & 16 yr old! The big open family room allowed for football, puzzles, and great conversation with plenty of laughter. Kids even caught and released 2 fish from the pond! Thanks for allowing us to create lasting memories at your house

Phenomenal Family Weekend
We had a great time staying at the property. They had everything we needed and more! Yard games, fishing poles, chairs, extra pillows and blankets. It accommodated multiple families. We had enough space to have an adult hangout and the kids were busy playing downstairs. The pullout couches were a bonus for kids who wanted to have a slumber party. The hosts were very quick to respond. All of the families were impressed with the basket of snacks and the toiletries provided if we forgot ours. We can’t wait until next years family weekend. We will definitely book this place again!
