This property is in a good location with easy access to Coralville, Solon, and Cedar Rapids. The lot is large & has a spacious lawn. The fairly new deck is very nice.
It is a pretty, somewhat secluded location. Access to the lake is via a trail that leads to the water's edge. Not much beach there, though.
Upon arrival, we found the house had not been cleaned. The owner was very responsive to our concerns, buying us dinner & giving other discounts and refunds without hesitation. Much appreciated.
Interesting place, but the house needs refreshing. A pet peeve of ours in vacation rentals is that the furnishings are often the owners' used & discarded items & that seemed the case here. Kitchen items were not in great shape. Pots and pans were sticky, rusty, & worn out. There were no dishtowels and dishcloths were stained, pot holders sticky & worn. There was a shortage of coffee mugs & glassware. There was also old food still in the fridge. In our experience, it is common to find condiments & other unused food items left for the next person. We never use these & would have much preferred an empty clean fridge for our use.
The couches and futons seemed worn & were uncomfortable. Some dining chairs and barstools were worn & wobbly. Seating for meals indoors would accomodate 8 people.
Wiring was concerning with many extension cords & nonfunctional outlets & switches.
Renters should be aware that the stairs are narrow & tricky for some to navigate.
