The space
Upon entering you will be greeted by a dreamy expansive kitchen, with two sinks, a 6 top gas range stove, plate warmer drawer and racks, huge island with double sinks, a full sized dish washer, a beverage fridge and an oversized fridge. It's truly the kitchen of your culinary dreams!
Enjoy nature from indoors with your friends and family in the gorgeous sunroom featuring large custom windows with 270 degree outdoor viewings and tall vaulted wood ceilings. At any time of the day whether that being the early morning with a cup of coffee, or at night under the beautiful antler chandelier, you are guaranteed the best seat in the house!
The entertaining does not stop there-play darts, billiards, and foosball in the basement alongside a full kitchen with a bar for the ultimate "rustic cabin" feel. There is a 70 inch flatscreen TV in the downstairs living area that can be viewed from the bar area, perfect to put on the big sports game!
The home is also equipped with Sonos wireless sound system that is able to play music in any of the living spaces you'd like! Get your favorite playlists in queue!
This beautiful home boasts six bedrooms which includes three king sized beds on the main floor, and four queen sized beds in the basement. All finished with luxury touches to make sure all our guests feel relaxed and comfortable!
Believe it or not, Iowa gets HOT in the summer. And what other better way to cool off than taking a dip in a private pool right in the backyard. The pool area is fully fenced in and surrounded by beautiful aged oak and pine trees with a tranquil waterfall making it the perfect oasis!
There is also an outdoor patio space equipped with an outdoor propane grill and an outdoor clubhouse for the kiddos to hang out in!
The entire house is yours to use. We simply ask you to treat our home with respect and leave it the way you found it. We'd love to have you as our guest and are excited to share this haven with you!
