Three siblings with Waterloo roots came back for a family reunion with their families. This property was excellent in all respects! Plenty of room for three adult couples on the main floor, and all of the kids (3 were 8-10 and 3 young teens) slept comfortably in the beds and sofas in the basement. Plenty of in house entertainment - TV, air hockey, ping pong, video games, and some old school board games. The kitchen was well equipped and ready to handle our large group. Spacious deck and large back yard space including a small pond suitable for fishing (with poles and basic tackle provided in the garage). Vacant garage served as an additional playroom/pickleball court. Our host/POC Nick was very quick and responsive to any communications. Very close to the waterpark as well as to the Crossroads shopping center area. Easy access to downtown Waterloo and environs. We come back to Waterloo every few years, and we will definitely be returning to this property in the future! For what is it worth, my cousin's company poured the foundations for the homes in this neighborhood.

We enjoyed our stay and were blown away by the cleanliness and all it had to offer. Lots of towels, extra blankets/pillows, fully equipped kitchen and also had folding table and chairs for extra seating which was a huge bonus for our large family! One of the best rental houses we have ever stayed at! Easily located and only a couple minute drive from the lost island waterpark! Hands down one of the best rentals properties we have ever stayed at.

Walking into a fresh smelling, beautiful and immaculate home was so inviting in itself; but I was continually impressed that anything we would need was thought of. From kitchen utensils down to ice paks/first aid kit for injuries, we were able to find needed items. The air hockey was a hit and the fishing was as well. Comfortable beds, lots of linens, and couches super comfy. We had no trouble being entertained just inside the house, gaming etc...highly recommend this vrbo!

We've stayed here twice now and we absolutely love it. The lower level is perfect for kids to play and keeps the noise away from the adults upstairs. The pond in the backyard is great for fishing (we caught a few dozen) and the nearby water park is a hidden gem. It easily fit our 3 families with plenty of breathing room. We will definitely be returning!

Every other year we get together with all of the kids and grandkids at a new area. This year it was Waterloo. We had a great time being together and enjoyed music from kids, playing games and food. Everything ended too soon, but many memories made. The property met our expectations but the weather did not allow anything outdoor.

The location and layout of this house fit our needs perfectly! My brothers and their families, Mom and I have gathered the past 25 years the week of T-day. This year Mom didn't feel up to traveling, so we came from 6 different states! The 3 bedrooms on main level worked great for my 3 brothers, the bunk beds were perfect for 4 cousins (ages 8-13) and the pull out sofa sleepers perfect for 15 & 16 yr old! The big open family room allowed for football, puzzles, and great conversation with plenty of laughter. Kids even caught and released 2 fish from the pond! Thanks for allowing us to create lasting memories at your house

We had a great time staying at the property. They had everything we needed and more! Yard games, fishing poles, chairs, extra pillows and blankets. It accommodated multiple families. We had enough space to have an adult hangout and the kids were busy playing downstairs. The pullout couches were a bonus for kids who wanted to have a slumber party. The hosts were very quick to respond. All of the families were impressed with the basket of snacks and the toiletries provided if we forgot ours. We can’t wait until next years family weekend. We will definitely book this place again!

This beautiful home was perfect for our stay with adult children and grandkids, while we visited Lost Island Water Park and Theme Park just down the road. We were happy to find it available for the 3 nights we wanted and even happier when we got there and went inside! The neighborhood was quiet. House was spacious, well furnished and nicely decorated. The pictures don't do it justice! Beds and pillows were very comfortable, and so was the large sectional. The kids, ages 3-15, had their own space downstairs, played lots of ping pong and had room for outdoor games in back yard. We enjoyed the deck and grill. Only needed sticks for roasting marshmallows, which we got at Walmart. We were impressed with the quality hair products provided, pantry staples, big soft towels and extra comfy blankets! The fishing pond right in back of the house was a bonus. Rods/reels and tackle were provided but we brought cane poles for our young grandsons, who caught several fish with worms. Nick was very accommodating and quick to answer my questions. I highly recommend this lovely, comfortable home. Thanks again Nick, I appreciate your help! Also, everyone had a great time at Palmer's Family Fun!

What a wonderful home to spend with our extended family of 13 people ages 3 - 76. Clean, plenty of room, beds were all very comfortable. Especially enjoyed the setting near a pond. We appreciated being able to use the grill for our Sat night meal. Location perfect to enjoy the Lost Island Water Park. We will definitely stay again if in that area.

Loved this place! It was a very quick drive to the Lost Island park and was enough space for our whole family (grandparents, siblings, spouses, grandkids) to sleep and spread out. We loved the backyard pond and even caught a few bass! The patio was nice to relax and enjoy morning coffee and an evening fire. The kids had a blast playing air hockey and ping pong. We hope to stay again next summer!

We absolutely loved staying at this house and are already talking about “next time”! It was so close to Lost Island amusement park and Waterpark. While we live in the Cedar Valley, our family lives 3 hours away. We wanted a place to all stay together that felt more like home than hotel rooms do. So many small added details definitely made it feel like home! I don’t know how many times I heard… “they even have ___”!! Fishing poles for the pond, many board games, video games, movies, ping pong, air hockey, even extra toothbrushes that a few kids needed! Kitchen was very well supplied for cooking. Owners did a great job communicating. Neighborhood was quiet and backyard was serene! We will definitely be back!!

The house was large enough for our family (4 bedrooms and sofa sleeper) and plenty of room to move about. The children and adults had a great time at the fishing pond (bass and sunfish, even a catfish). Back yard was quiet and large enough to enjoy time playing. Must mention that the ping-pong table was the site for many challenges to determine the overall winner. We were able to daily visit many local areas for the children (Palmers family fun in Cedar Falls) and the Arts center downtown for youth. Thank you for sharing this home with us and it's bonding time at nights. Gary (Iowa)
