Cozy Cottage...a MUST stay!

My husband and I recently moved to Cedar Rapids and made this cottage our home for 45 days! It was perfect for our little family and had everything we needed. The owners were very responsive and incredibly helpful with whatever we needed. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood near Mount Mercy University and about 10 minutes from downtown!

We were coming to Cedar Rapids for my grandson’s wedding, I am 80 and a dear friend of the family is 88 so we very much appreciate the front bedroom with private bathroom for her. I was so nice to come back and visit together in the living room. My only complaint would have liked a handrail next to mailbox to help make those2 steps into entrance.

Perfection

This is the second year we have stayed in this home and it was once again perfect. Lynnaya and her husband were super sweet and understanding when we requested an adjustment. The house is always very clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet; if you need groceries you are minutes away. We will be staying here again when we visit our son at the University of Iowa.
