Welcome to our 1923 farmhouse in quaint Eldora, Iowa. We purchased the house as a home away from home and have been spending the last year completing renovations and making improvements. The house does not have central air but the two window units keep the upstairs plenty cool. In winter the boiler system provides plenty of heat with registers in every room. The kitchen is fully furnished, we have a gas grill on the patio, and folding chairs to enjoy the patio in the evenings. There’s also a swing on the front porch to enjoy your morning coffee. The house sits just off the square and is walking distance to the city pool, playground, small bowling alley, one screen movie theater, grocery stores and restaurants. Close by you can also visit Pine Lake and access a great bike trail. We live in Texas but we have family in Iowa and we enjoy the slower pace, cooler summers, and even a snowy day from time to time. We will continue to improve the house over time and look forward to sharing our place with visitors regardless of if you’re passing through or if you just need to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Welcome to our home away from home.

Great location for where our activity was. We had 4 adults and 2 young men staying in the home. Quiet, clean town. Suited us but 2nd bathroom was a little awkward.

This was a repeat stay for me at this location and I have 2 future visits booked. This is a great place to stay with anything that you would need close by. I love the farmhouse feel in a town setting and the architecture and furnishings in this home are very beautiful. It's a great place to stay if you are looking for a comfortable setting.

The posting is just as advertised. Nothing is super fancy but nothing was "cheap" either. I preferred to stay here over a local hotel - as many of the local hotels are mediocre at best. When I split the cost with another couple, it was the same price as I would have paid for a hotel (but nicer). I would absolutely stay here again. For those who are sensitive to fragrances, there was a subtle floral scent to the house/linens.

We absolutely loved this place. It had the farmhouse feel with of all the conveniences of being in a small town. Everything about it was great. We loved the architecture and beautiful woodwork inside the house. The front porch and the back patio were amazing places to hang out and enjoy the outside. The living room was great and comfortable and the bedrooms were plentiful. We would definitely stay here again.

Family Reunion
Staying in this lovely, well appointed home made our weekend in Eldora so comfortable and convenient. We had a family reunion in the Hardin County Barn Museum just a few blocks from the home. It was so nice to have this spacious home so close!

Our family enjoyed this cute old house as we were in town for a wedding. It was close to the venue and the state park where more family camped. We liked walking the neighborhood and so appreciated a well stocked home!!

A Charming Home
We enjoyed our stay here. The home had plenty of room for the eight of us. All the bedrooms are comfortable. We especially enjoyed the private backyard as an additional gathering space. I will definitely book again when the need arises. Thank you!

Charming & Wonderful Stay!
This home is oozing with small town Iowa charm! Communication with Carmen was a delight, with quick and friendly responses. Check in/check out was a breeze. Home was immaculately clean and well stocked. Beds were super. Really enjoyed coffee on the porch swing every morning! Would definitely book this property again!

Cozy home
Carmen’s home was perfect for hosting a lager family. With a patio to entertain and large living room for when weather wasn’t the best. The house was well stocked and clean. Carmen was prompt when we asked about lawn chairs and quick to respond to any questions.

Family Graduation
The house was very comfortable and had all of the ammenities we needed. There was a little glitch about changing the date of check-in but was resolved quickly by Carmen. There was plenty of room for 5 of us with rooms to spare. My granddaughter was especially tickled to find several containers of toys. Beds were comfortable, the towels were nice - sometimes they are not! I would definitely recommend this spot to others. Thanks, Carmen!

Relaxed stay in small town Iowa
We had a group of 7 adults, 1 teen and 1 baby. The house worked well for us. It is pretty typical for an older midwestern home. It was nicely staged, and it had everything we needed and then some.
The bunk beds were said to be hard but the other beds were very comfortable. We did have a small leak when the upstairs bathroom was used; it dropped water by the dining room table so we used a cooler to catch the drip. I notified the owner over VRBO message (we did not get a phone number but she was fast to respond so this was fine). There is a 2nd bathroom downstairs but it has an odd setup and not much privacy.
We were there at the end of June/early July and it was hot but the 2 window air conditioners were plenty once the house cooled down. The person with the a/c unit in their bedroom slept with their door open so the air could be circulated with fans to other rooms.
The lake nearby is beautiful and the downtown is historic and charming. We enjoyed our time there and would gladly stay there again.
