Great Respite

We were in the area for a basketball and the Meadow house was an excellent place to unwind away and rest between games. I will definitely look at renting this property again.

Total Relaxation

The house is in the perfect setting to get away and just be! Our family came to enjoy some college football. After the game, we returned to the house and played games, watched movies, read, and had supper. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of space to be, and everything mentioned in the listing was as advertised. We had an amazing time and look forward to the possibility of staying here again! Thank you!!!

Amazing Property

The property was perfect for our weekend wedding. The venue was only 6 miles away in Oskaloosa. Everyone was pleased with the amenities of the house. We were all intrigued by the straw bale architectural design. The only drawback was my daughter’s allergies kicked in.

Enjoyed our stay. We have a group of 4 couples that stay close to Perry Lake every year. We played Foosball, ping pong, corn hole and created our own par 3, four hole golf course. We had no issues with the property.

Cool, unique place in a quiet country setting

This house worked perfect for our our group of five but easily could have accommodated many more with its three main bedrooms and third floor with two queen and two single beds. It was exactly as it appears in the listing. The house is big and spacious and very unique with its straw bale construction. We had everything we needed and enjoyed just hanging out and playing games. We highly recommend this house.

Awesome place for a family!

Everything was really great. The house was clean. Check in was a breeze. The game room downstairs was a hit with everyone…we had a ping pong tournament. Waking up to deer in the field was nice. And the host was very responsive. My sister-in-law left her glasses, and the host is mailing them to her. Just tremendous service all around. We’ll definitely go back in the future.

Amazing Getaway to the Kansas Countryside

The property is breathtaking, comfortable, incredibly spacious, and just so well-equipped. The fact that it is a strawbale home makes it all the more interesting. We loved the many photos, prints and maps, representing Kansas and the area. The space allows you to choose to cozy up in the den, spread out across 4 floors or take in the greatness of the open space surrounding, from one of the decks. We had a few friends join for a brunch. The open kitchen/living space lends very well to this type of gathering. If it were a little warmer, we would have spent more time on the sunporch and grounds. Another visit! All ages enjoyed the basement game room. Many rounds of ping-pong and foosball were played! Honestly, it was difficult to leave the peace and quiet on the day we checked out. The aesthetics were so pleasing and inviting. Despite the fact that we live just 20-30 minutes away, we will be back. Highly recommend!

WARNING: Owners give excessive claims!

I was having a pleasant experience. We cleaned the property right before checkout to make sure everything was in order. 1 week later, I receive a charge of almost one thousand dollars! They gave beyond excessive claims for "damages". Please be very careful with these hosts. I hope no one goes through what they are currently putting us through. Please look for other properties in the area; I'm sure you'll find a better dollar value as well!
