Cozy Winter Lake House, Fireplace, Sauna, Sunrises

Little House on the Lake is a peaceful, cozy winter retreat surrounded by nature and quiet beauty. Wake up to striking sunrises over the lake through large picture windows, enjoy crisp walks along the shoreline, and settle into slow, unhurried days. After time outdoors, warm up in the sauna or relax by the gas fireplace as the light fades and the woods grow still. It’s an ideal setting for a winter staycation, a quiet reset or a change of pace close to amenities, sports and entertainment venues.

Rest by Northwest #1 - 2 bedrooms, 3 beds, 1 bath

Guest review summary: clean, comfortable and cozy! Our place is well equipped for your stay in town. Just a quick mile (3 minutes) to the interstate makes this place close enough to be convenient and far enough to be quiet. Or, instead of hopping on the interstate, just continue on into the heart of downtown Cedar Rapids for business or pleasure. Luxurious 12 inch memory foam mattresses on each bed for exceptional rest. When you're awake, there's a Keurig and high speed internet (100 Mb).
