My husband and I were stressing because we needed to find a last minute spot to stay with our two dogs for a wedding in Iowa City. We were coming from out of state in Michigan. I reached out and was met with a prompt and incredibly kind response and we booked right away. Even with it being 25 minutes away from the wedding venue, we couldnât be more pleased with our stay. We drove through historic Kolona and enjoyed checking out some cute shops, and the land in Iowa is just beautiful. The home was adorable, and it was perfect for our two night stay. It had everything we needed and we loved the added goodies too, of course. Thank you for allowing us to bring our puppers with us. We will definitely be back again if we are ever back in the area!
We stayed here while visiting Iowa to see family for our daughters 3rd birthday. The host, Jennifer, was so sweet and accomodating. She left the light on for us after learning we would be in late and there were so many helpful amenities that may our stay much easier. The neighborhood was quiet and we didnt have any issues while staying there. Would highly recommend this to anyone needing somewhere to stay in small town Iowa.
Home was impeccably clean. Some say they are dog friendly, but really don't want pers. Here I really felt like mine were welcomed. And so many snacks and such to choose from!! This home was so welcoming, my husband made the comment that he felt like someone lives there, but they just left for the weekend and let us use it.
Do not miss out staying here at the Aunties Shanty. I felt like I was at home with every thing I needed. The shower is great and the bed is comfy. Itâs clean and the hosts are just fabulous. I will be back.
Wonderful place to stay. Everything was nice and quiet. This was exactly what we needed for a short stay and wonderful price. We really appreciated all the little extras around. If you needed anything this place had it.Loved it and will definitely stay next time we need a place in this area.
Our son was cast in a play at Iowa on a game weekend. Hotels were booked or ridiculously expensive. We found the Auntie Shanty on VRBO and couldnât be happier. It was just 30 minutes from Iowa City and allowed us to see the show multiple without breaking the bank. The house was very clean. To say that Hennifer went above and beyond would be and understatement.Every possible need was My wife commented that this was
