Family-friendly vacation rentals in Iowa

The space and location is perfect! Jenn is a great host and responds quickly to any questions. I look forward to staying here again next time I am in town!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible Airbnb, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and hospitality that made me feel right at home. The property itself is immaculate – spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail is remarkable, and it’s clear that the host has put a lot of thought into creating a space that is both stylish and functional. The location is perfect, offering a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently close to local attractions, dining, and shopping. Whether you’re looking to relax or explore, this Airbnb is the perfect base. Communication with the host was seamless and prompt, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. They were attentive, responsive, and genuinely cared about ensuring my stay was perfect. I cannot recommend this Airbnb enough !!

this was our 2nd girls weekend here. the first time we toured the area, this time we were here for relaxation. Great scenery and trail walking

We had stayed here a couple of years ago for our daughter's birthday. This year we were thrilled to see it was available again! the only thing we were disappointed about was the construction of the boathouse which we weren't aware of until we got there. Otherwise it was a great overnight stay and will always recommend others to stay here!

What a wonderful gem of a spot! I can’t say enough good things about our stay. Penny and Dan were fantastic hosts. So friendly and helpful. We stayed a few days over spring break. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Our children loved all the space and enjoyed the animals around the farm. Helping with morning chores and feedings was a highlight. The walking trails were great. Several spots to stop and rest if needed, or just take in the tranquility around you. We hope to come back during warmer weather to enjoy “Lake Louie” with swimming and fishing. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. Plenty of space for our family of 4. Bed was comfortable and kids had fun “camping out” in the living room with a pull out sofa. We loved our stay!

This Airbnb was super cute and perfect for a girls weekend getaway! Jenn was super responsive and helpful with instructions!

What a great place and great hosts! Nice of Don to share history of the place. One of the best stocked places we've stayed. Also very clean with plenty of bedding and towels! The barn located behind is wonderful--great pizza, great beers and plenty of room. Truly one of the best places we've stayed.

We celebrated a sweet 16 at Farmpond Inn and its was a real treat. The location felt peaceful and relaxing. We loved the cute design and decor. Evie was very friendly and welcoming. Hot tub was awesome too. Would definitely consider it again for a nearby getaway.

This place is a beautiful little getaway. Right up the road from the river, it is peaceful and quiet. Lots of fun architecture to see in town and the river walk is lovely. Our dogs were welcomed which made the trip 10x more enjoyable. The house is cozy, warm and feels very much like home. Sue has an entry table in the home with suggestions for local activities, eateries, shopping which was nice to refer to. Overall we were happy with the space. It was nice to know that Sue was in the house next door for questions, but she very much provided privacy unlike some places I’ve stayed. I highly recommend!

What a wonderful property! I enjoyed my stay. Melissa left some fresh flowers, fruit, and muffins, and the home felt so welcoming. I enjoyed relaxing on the front swing porch, and the beautiful neighborhood felt safe to walk.

Shawn is the best at communication. The home is clean every time I stay there.

Great place For the price. The drive to the place was pretty and was a pleasant surprise. Added value.

A magical and peaceful stay outside of Decorah. More than fair to call it a perfect home base for exploring the ever-beautiful 'Driftless' NE corner of Iowa. We felt lucky to arrive while a host was boiling maple sap in the cool of an early spring evening. Perfect distance out of town, and not far from Seed Savers if you plan to visit them as well. We will be back!

The house is comfy and has everything you need, even baking equipment for making cookies with our granddaughter. There is a Keurig coffee maker and K-cups provided with cream, and a Snack Bar with a variety of granola bars and crackers. The dishes are good quality and nice to use. The living room has a recliner rocker and raised footrest, and cosy blankets available. Nearby is the walking path by the river, so it feels like you are near the outdoors, though the downtown and shops are very close. There is a vintage clawed tub with added shower curtains, and lots of towels provided and space to put toiletries. We really appreciated the extra help getting access to the streaming services available: Netflix, Youtube and Disney. Parking is out front, near to a stop sign but we just parked a little farther down the hill to steer clear of corner traffic, though we found it a very quiet neighbourhood with few cars, and just friendly people walking by. Thanks for a great stay!

I had a wonderful stay. It was peaceful and I enjoyed the local trails. The Cottage had all I could want or need, it was cozy and clean. Emily was a lovely host and left fantastic information about the area.

Mark was so accommodating. He let us check in early and was very informative about checking in and having extra mattress and air mattress for my grandkids.

We stayed here for a bachelorette party. It was very spacious and clean.

House was very clean! Beds were as you would want for your own home - not randomly placed for more sleeping accommodations. We will definitely rebook here if we are ever back in town. Jodi was extremely quick with responses to questions.

The house was just as described very clean and close to lost of local things. Host responded very quickly to any questions or requests we had. Would highly recommend.

Great place to stay. Walkable distance to Bridges Bay resort. The home was near a pool and in a cute neighborhood. Stayed there with 14 people total and we were all comfortable! Great place to stay!

This is a great space for a family vacation. It’s the perfect location being close to Arnold’s park and the lake as well as having access to the pools and water park. The rooms are spacious and it’s nice to have a small outdoor patio on vacation!

It was great for our group of 8 ladies. Stocked with everything we needed and plenty of space. We were out and about most of the time, but made good use of the games in the garage at night!

This was a perfect place for my kids and I. Close to everything and a beautiful home. We will be back!

It was everything g we expected and I would say more. The house had everything we needed.
