First, we didn't receive our check-in instructions until after noon on the day of arrival, which made planning unnecessarily stressful. Once we got in, the house temperature was set at 83F making it extremely uncomfortable. Despite waiting for 4 hours, the temperature never improved even after adjusting the thermostat. On top of that, the bathroom windows had only sheer curtains, offering no privacy specially at night when anyone outside could easily see in. Due to the heat and lack of privacy, we had no choice but to leave the property. The host initially agreed to refund us (this is in writing) which we appreciated. However, since then, communication has been non-existent. I've been trying to resolve this with Verb for a month, but the property owner remains unresponsive, and Vrbo's customer service has been frustratingly slow.You have to constantly call just to get basic updates. Overall, this was a terrible experience from start to finish. I would not recommend this property or Vrbo's support - based on how this situation was handled.

The cozy cottage met our needs perfectly for our stay. The host even provided shopping around the area prior to our arrival. The water pressure is excellent in the shower and its a quiet area at night. The host is easy to contact and has a quick response time with any questions you may have.

Cozy cottage was the perfect location. The Czech village and the Newbo market were so cool. The owner had a great selection of visitors materials and town history. We learned about the 2020 derecho and 2008 flood. We chose to go to the Kernels game based on what we read— and loved it. If you have a long stay you’ll enjoy the washer and dryer, but I missed having a place to unpack. There was no drawer or empty shelf available.

Trip to Arkansas to visit family.

This home was one of the cutest properties I have seen. Bed was super comfortable with soft sheets and towels! Nicely, newly landscaped yard in a residential neighborhood. We have 2 big labs which made the space a little challenging but we all got a good nights rest. Would definitely stay here again if traveling without our "big" dogs or we had smaller dogs. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your property.

We stayed for a weekend for our anniversary and to go to a CR Kernels game. The place is homey and inviting and perfect for a short stay close to the baseball field and hockey arena. Many details and accommodations thought of for any traveler. Short drive to I 380.

Cozy little cottage that is close to the interstate

This little cottage is absolutely adorable. My husband and I needed a place to stay overnight while relocating from Tennessee to Minnesota and this cozy home gave us a night of much needed rest. We will definitely be staying here again when we travel home for the holidays!

Wonderful Hosts!

My husband and I stayed in this charming little cottage in Cedar Rapids to watch our son play tennis for Coe College. Our hosts communication and hospitality were by far the best we've ever experienced from VRBO hosts! The cottage itself had all the little things you love but don't necessarily expect when traveling, like a basket of "extras" in the bathroom in case you forgot something, snacks and water in the fridge, books about Cedar Rapids (I read about the flood of 2008 and the Derecho of 2020 on our down time). They were also quickly responsive to all our questions. Highly recommend!
