Wooded 5br 3ba French Cottage 5 min to lake/town

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 day ago

This was our third time staying with Pat and Ginger and we could not have been more satisfied!! The house is always so clean and is plenty spacious for my family and I every year. The neighborhood is peaceful and you feel safe as could be taking a walk with your family. Pat and Ginger both are responsive 24/7 and more than happy to help any way they can each and every time. We look forward to staying again!

Lodge amongst the vines

MeganRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for our group of 6. We each had our own bedroom and had plenty of room to play board games or watch TV. We were a little confused pulling up on where to park. Very close to Fairfield which has everything you would need. We chose the location due to proximity to Ottumwa and Cantril. Would be a lovely spot in the summer to stay.

Rambling Lodge

LillianRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We were scheduled to stay for 3 days. There was a thunderstorm that knocked power out at the house, and several other places in the surrounding town. Lillian communicated with us before we ever arrived in Friday evening, offered to refund my money for one night. After several hours, we rented a hotel room nearby. I didn't want to have to move all of our stuff out of the hotel and repack. I asked her for a full refund. Lillian communicated that I needed to ask Airbnb to cancel our stay, because she couldn't just refund me without that being done first. I messaged Airbnb and asked them since it was an Act Of Nature that prevented our stay. Messaged Lillian back, and with no hesitation, my stay was cancelled and money totally refunded!!! To say the very least I was impressed with the way she stayed in touch throughout the evening, and handled the whole weekend cancellation with grace. Without a doubt, I will book it again in the future through Lillian. She's the best!

Fran's Cottage

NikkiRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The hosts went above and beyond. I've stayed at other places, but I think these were my favorite hosts. The house was really clean, comfortable beds (and couch). The bathroom and kitchen are both newly updated and very clean, that's one of the main things that makes you feel more comfortable at a house. Especially the bathroom. Melissa was so sweet. I highly recommend this house to anyone. You won't be disappointed.

Sunny Days Valley View Villa 3

TammyRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Loved our stay. 2 days there were 13 of us definitely tested the capacity lots of room. My husband and I added a day , he seldom gets summer vacations. Bring blankets especially if people sleeping on couches. More kitchen stocking if doing a lot of cooking. The house was awesome one level especially the game room extra space. Two sleeper sofa’s would work in there. Lots of room for large groups. Fire pit and pool absolutely great. Patio and two doors on the poolside was very useful. I did call Douglas with a few questions, very accommodating and friendly.

The Cozy Cottage

SteveRating, 5 stars3 months ago

This was a great place! If I could I would come back and stay more than one night. The only things I would mention are that the switch in the kitchen that you think is a light switch is the garbage disposal, so watch out haha, and if you are staying a Saturday night be aware that none of the restaurants in town will be open for breakfast Sunday morning (but that's not Verlin and Shannon's fault). The place is clean, welcoming and peaceful. There were helpful instructions everywhere, and little gifts and amenities throughout. We had no trouble staying warm, plenty of blankets. The coffee is a Keurig. The layout is great, with one of the bathrooms being in a bedroom and the other available to the whole house. All in all it was perfect for us passing through headed north, but if you have reason to be in the area for longer avail yourself of this great place to stay.

Cozy little farm house

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviews6 months ago

We enjoyed our stay at Matt's place. Matt came and met us, talked and got to know us like good friends. The home is secluded just like we had hoped and very easy to find. Plenty of beds for our group to rest. We were able to see wild deer roam and drink from the pond. If we ever need to be back in the area, this would be our choice again.

Rissa's Rustic Retreat

5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews1 week ago

This mother-in-law suite was very easy to find. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet and we felt very safe staying there. The beds, furniture, and surroundings are comfortable and clean and the rustic decor is as cute as can be. The suite is more spacious than it appears from the outside. The living area, kitchen, laundry and bath are all on the main level and the two bedrooms are upstairs separated by a landing featuring a sitting area. We are all fairly tall and had to duck at one point on steps to the loft but it really wasn't a problem (the decor features lots of ducks, too). Our hosts were friendly and helpful, too. We were a little confused by the hot water instructions we were given and reached out for clarification. They responded promptly and even came over to give us a little demonstration. There's a little trick to "waking up" the tankless water heater but it works great and we had plenty of hot water.

Rathbun Lake Get Away Rental at Antler Acres

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 97 reviews5 days ago

Great little space to enjoy the lake from. Having bedrooms with their own bathrooms on opposite ends of the building was a nice touch for privacy for couples and non couples. Overall, it was comfortable and charming and was all I needed to a wonderful getaway on Rathbun. Thanks for having us Brad and Bernie!

Goose Lodge at The Lodges of Long Branch

This is the third time I’ve booked with Sonja at the lodges and each time I’ve been very pleased with my experience. This time we had a few challenges but Sonja and Jeff jumped to action and were very accommodating. Excited to return next year.

From the moment we showed up, we felt right at home; the gift basket was an exceptional touch that was definitely appreciated! Aaron was a proactive host, reaching out prior to our stay with instructions.

Cabin in Kirksville

Cozy Yarrow Cabin among the trees

GinaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Short get away for a recharge & my birthday. Peaceful, cozy and beautiful. The cabin, decor & furnishings were beautiful works of art. There was a short hiccup on our arrival. It was a maintenance issue that was beyond their control. They handled it very well, even though it was very stressful. I am sure that this took precedent over their normal cleaning procedures so the four rating is probably not their usual norm. I suspect it’s normally a five rating and they had to attend to this other priority. It was no problem for us. It was generally a very clean. It was a very pleasant place to hang out in.
