We stayed over the holidays and had a great time. The house is beautiful and the views are amazing.It's in a quiet secluded area of town but close to the main roads.Would definitely stay again.
House was just as described. It was beautiful river location. It was a perfect size for our group. We enjoyed our stay very much. Would stay here again.
We needed a place to stay while attending a celebration of life for a relative in IA. We wish we could have spent more time at the property - such a great location!
Such a pretty spot on a beautiful river. Enjoyed the house too. Really nice place to enjoy with friends with a beautiful porch that overlooks the river, nice kitchen, comfortable beds. Hope to go back someday!
This is a fantastic place for a family getaway! The house is great, well appointed, and very well kept. The view overlooking the Cedar River is mesmerizing with lots of wildlife and gorgeous sunsets. Cedar Falls is about five minutes away with lots of great shops and a variety of places to eat.
We were thrilled with our stay for so many reasons. The property was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Loved the charging stations and internet enabled TVs. Could not have been happier with the beautiful views and easy access to trails. Also super easy to drive to adorable Main Street for coffee and treats.
Staying in this lovely space overlooking the Cedar River was one of the best VRBO experiences we have had. Meals on the deck with a gentle breeze, walks in the woods -- nature immersion with the fun of town just a step away. Tony couldn't have been kinder and the space has the most thoughtful guide for guests!
We left replenished and renewed - *highly recommend.
This property is one of the finest we have visited over the years. Super clean, beautifully upgraded, and nicely located overlooking the very pretty Cedar River. Quiet. The kitchen and sun room overlooking the river were superb. Thoroughly enjoyed this relaxing get-away. Very good value for the price.
This home pretty much met all of our needs and was stocked with great supplies. Very spacious and incredible view of the Cedar River, which was serene and enchanting. It was nice to know the owners were nearby and very responsive. We will be frequent returnees as we have family there locally. We were very pleased overall with our stay and the lovelh accomodations.
Everything surpassed my expectations. The rooms are nice and clean. The kitchen had everything we wanted and more. The sun room overlooking the river was warm and beautiful and so relaxing to hang out in on some very cold days in late November. The host is ver responsive and pleasant to interact with.
We wanted one last little getaway before school started up again. This home and property was perfect for our family. Everything from the cozy loft to the Roku TV’s in each room and the beautiful view of the Cedar River was just what we as a family needed to regroup and spend some quality time together. The kitchen was also a big hangout spot for our teens. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
My daughter got married this weekend in Waverly at The Hidden Acre. We live 2 hours away and didn’t want to stay in a hotel, so found this gem of a place instead. It was perfect! My husband and I and our 3 other kids, plus my best friend from out of town all were very comfortable in this house. The view was beautiful in the mornings and we loved the quiet in the nights. The host was so easy to communicate with. We felt very welcome! We hope to be able to return during a time when we don’t have so much planned so we can enjoy the house more!
We rented the hone to celebrate a family members 60th birthday. It was perfect
Clean
Organized
Had everything we needed
The view of the Cedar River for gorgeous even if it was to low to fish
The screened in porch/balcony was our favorite area
We saw eagles, deer and crane while enjoying our meals and coffee
Beds were comfortable
Neighborhood seemed very safe, quiet and semi private
We didn’t have time to use the nice bike/walking path not far from the home but that is a perk
Tony was more than accommodating!!!
We will recommend this home to all of our friends needing an area in Cedar Falls

Our family stayed here while we were in town for a family funeral. The location was perfect and being next to the river created the peacefulness we needed. The bedrooms were very comfortable and clean and the bathrooms were clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and very nice. We will definitely come back here for future stays when we come back home.
We needed a weekend getaway close to UNI to gather Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa families. It was a beautiful home full of everything we needed, including garage access for our car which came in handy during a storm.
Our son was competing in a wrestling tournament for the weekend so we made a quick trip to Cedar Falls and would never stay anywhere else! The property was clean and the owners were very quick in responding to any questions we had.
We had a wonderful stay at this at the house. We loved being in a wooded area by the river. The screened-in patio overlooking the water was the perfect place to relax with a morning coffee or evening conversation. We especially loved gathering around the fire pit, reminiscing under the stars—it created such a cozy and memorable atmosphere. This home is ideal for get-togethers, with just the right balance of comfort and nature. We would definitely return!
Lakescape 2023 was a success. This weekend was full of friends, good times, great food, and even better views. The home was comfortable and very clean. The hosts were fantastic and accommodating. The space was appropriate for kids, ages two and under, and was a lovely space to vacation.
