Wildflower Riverhouse - Minutes From Downtown CF!

JosephRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Everything was great. The place is very nice, especially on the inside. very remote location, but close to the amenities of CF. Our only issue came with the management company and their communication. It was very hit and miss. A couple times they got back to us immediately, and other times it took awhile. We asked for a high chair to be in our rental when we arrived. After I arrived, I looked for it and did not see it. I immediately messaged the app and asked where it was, or if one could be delivered. It took them almost 24 hours, but they eventually delivered one. Other than that, it was a great weekend.

Walk to Downtown CF!

PjRating, 5 stars4 days ago

The Walnut house does not disappoint . I've stayed here several times. After a long journey, it's great walking into a clean, beautiful cozy home. Sitting in the backyard was so peaceful, going downtown is "a must do". The beds are comfy, the kitchen spotless and it had everything we needed. The home is so nicely decorated, with plenty of space for our little gatherings. Susan is amazing to work with, always gets back to me right away, she made a special accommodation for me! These are just a few of many reasons why I keep booking this sweet gem, The Walnut House!

Cedar Falls Micro Apartment

ColleenRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Nice tiny apartment in a great location. It is near everything you could need. The apartment is small, but well equipped for a short stay. Denice is a fantastic host! She is super responsive and helpful! She went out of her way to make sure everything was great for me. My only complaint was the internet was a bit spotty at times. I work remotely, and it didn’t cause any real problems, but it was a bit annoying with video calls. Overall, I would absolutely recommend!
