Lakeside Suite on Lost Island Lake

AshleyRating, 5 stars9 months ago
it was a short stay, but the place was very welcoming! Honestly probably one of the most welcoming airbnb's I've stayed at so far. She provided us with a little welcoming bottle of wine & a smore's kit! The patio that goes out to the lake was gorgeous! I wish we could have stayed longer. I think it would feel very cozy in the wintertime.

Cozy Country Retreat

AmberRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The place was awesome! The welcoming dog and cats were so fun. Fresh eggs in the morning. The floor is a little rough like they described so definitely have some socks or slippers. Wifi would not connect to phones/tablets, but we did get the tv to work after a few tries. Talked with owners on the way out and they were working on improving that. We absolutely stay there again!

This place is so charming, very walkable to Main Street McGregor and with beautiful river views. Loved the unique wallpapers and cheerful kitchen, and the antique touches! Three different dining places to sit down and eat or enjoy a cup of coffee :)The host was really friendly and responsive, with clear and easy instructions. Lots of stairs and an occasional train horn keep you on your toes - overall we made great memories in this lovely historic building!!

Kruse’s Country Lane LLC

KathyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We arrived Friday after ballgames for our grandson, Wendy's husband Joe met us when we arrived, asked how the game was, when were the next games in the tournament, before showing us the property, including lights, TV's HVAC system and talked to us about the history of the homestead. This property is west of Dyersville on old Hwy 20 and had in it's past a beautiful working farm. There are flowers, old trees, a small pond, calves and goats, just the kind of home place we love. We had asked about sitting outside to enjoy the property in our "baseball chairs" they responded by bring us a lovely outdoor loveseat with in just a few minutes. Joe asked if we thought we would like to grill, if so just let them know they would set one out for us. They gave us local history eateries and sites to visit. These are just genuine Iowans, sharing their lovely property and local history with folks. So giving and caring. Good luck to the girls at the Fair Hope to stay again in 2026. J&K

Happy Happy Guest House 1bd/1ba

ChelseaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Ali and Bogey have a beautiful guest house located near downtown Iowa. It was super cute and very spacious, while also being cozy! The neighborhood is INCREDIBLE and felt very safe. I got in very late my first night and felt secure getting unloaded and in the house. As hosts, Ali and Bogey were very responsive and helpful and very sweet. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this place more for a solo traveler or a couple.
