Conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood yet close to the main drag and interstate.

All of the cool cats will hang on the backyard patio for highballs and hula hoop.

It's spotless inside and out and the owner has thought of everything you'll need to enjoy your stay from shampoo/conditioner, soaps, lotion & a hair dryer to retro snacks, water, soda & wine.

Although I won't be there to greet you personally, I'm only a message or phone call away and I answer quickly.

The quiet neighborhood offers a perfect place to take long walks or you can head down to the Irish District on the corner of E Ave & 16th St. It features 3 bars and two have food. The Tic Toc Restaurant just re-opened (Corner of E Ave and 17th St. NE) Great tenderloins, cheese sticks & onion rings. Or if you want something a little more upscale and fun the New Bo District is just a short 8 -10 minute drive downtown.

Our stay at this 1960s Gem was wonderfully relaxing! This is a beautiful and cozy place to stay in a very quiet and well-kept neighborhood. Comfortable beds and living space, along with clever and thoughtful amenities, made our getaway to Houby Days at the Czech Village a delightful experience!

Excellent rental. We loved the 60s decor. Definitely fun and welcoming and not a cold "rental" vibe. Very close to downtown Cedar Rapids. Easy parking. Close to a college (my daughter ran on the track for a workout). Very clean, many amenities, plenty of clean towels. The beds are very firm (which we loved, and slept great). The host answered all of my questions quickly and gave excellent recommendations on where to shop and where to eat. Would stay again!

Great place and great host! My husband and I had a longterm stay here (three months) while house hunting. The house is super cute, clean, and stocked with everything you need and then some. Kathleen, the host, was very responsive and friendly. The neighbors and neighborhood are great too. I enjoyed many long walks in the area and there’s quick access to the CeMar Trail. We pretty much became regulars at the nearby Moco Hotdog Bar and Old Neighborhood Pub, which are great local joints for getting an insiders feel of Cedar Rapids. We also really enjoyed the central location of this home, which allows us to conveniently venture around, from downtown to Marion and beyond.

This was our second stay at this home. The colors and the vibe of the decor are really nice. We are very comfortable at this rental. Comfy beds, plenty of towels, pleasant outdoor patio and backyard. The dog enjoyed his walks to the park nearby. Lovely neighborhood. We’ll return again next year.

Wonderful Experience

My spouse and I traveled to Cedar Rapids to spend some time with our granddaughter who attends Coe College. We stayed for 3 nights. The fenced in back yard was great for my 2 dogs. Kathleen was very responsive to all questions that I had. We are planning to fo back next year when our granddaughter attends Coe College again.
