Great Stay for a Large Group

We absolutely enjoyed our stay in Iowa. We were there for a sporting event for one of my kids. We had family stay as well. The home was well stocked, had ample space, an in-home office and laundry. We LOVED the backyard and patio, although it was 100 degrees, so we mostly enjoyed the a/c! Great stay, we would definitely stay again!
