College town oasis in the middle of Iowa!
Amazing spacious home and perfect location to lake and college! Husband and I were there to visit our college son and watch his tennis games. My parents decided to come along at the last minute and absolutely loved it! We’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals over the years for vacations and I’d have to say Ada Guesthouse hosts thought of everything! I usually pack the essentials for bathrooms, kitchen and laundry but they provided everything and more. Plus dog towels, bed and blanket! A lot of history and antiques in this house provided lots of entertainment for my auctioneer husband and my history loving dad ☺️ Relaxing front porch sitting and nice backyard! Thank you so much for opening your home to us! Hoping to book it again next year for graduation!
Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024
