Replenishing River Retreat 🌊🌳
Staying in this lovely space overlooking the Cedar River was one of the best VRBO experiences we have had. Meals on the deck with a gentle breeze, walks in the woods -- nature immersion with the fun of town just a step away. Tony couldn't have been kinder and the space has the most thoughtful guide for guests! We left replenished and renewed - *highly recommend.

Gift Stay
Gave this stay to my parents as a gift. They said they loved sitting in the sunroom watching the river, and the layout of the house was unique and interesting. Hosts were very communicative. Only downside was how expensive it was. Unfortunately I didn't realize the fees were not all showing at first, but I think that may have been my fault. So glad a riverside spot was available, my dad loves rivers and they met in Cedar Falls, so it worked out nicely.

Great Memory Maker
This home pretty much met all of our needs and was stocked with great supplies. Very spacious and incredible view of the Cedar River, which was serene and enchanting. It was nice to know the owners were nearby and very responsive. We will be frequent returnees as we have family there locally. We were very pleased overall with our stay and the lovelh accomodations.

Quick Tournament Trip
Our son was competing in a wrestling tournament for the weekend so we made a quick trip to Cedar Falls and would never stay anywhere else! The property was clean and the owners were very quick in responding to any questions we had.

Stayed for a wedding
My daughter got married this weekend in Waverly at The Hidden Acre. We live 2 hours away and didn’t want to stay in a hotel, so found this gem of a place instead. It was perfect! My husband and I and our 3 other kids, plus my best friend from out of town all were very comfortable in this house. The view was beautiful in the mornings and we loved the quiet in the nights. The host was so easy to communicate with. We felt very welcome! We hope to be able to return during a time when we don’t have so much planned so we can enjoy the house more!

Perfect spot for a family visit
We were thrilled with our stay for so many reasons. The property was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Loved the charging stations and internet enabled TVs. Could not have been happier with the beautiful views and easy access to trails. Also super easy to drive to adorable Main Street for coffee and treats.

Beautiful home overlooking the river
We rented the hone to celebrate a family members 60th birthday. It was perfect Clean Organized Had everything we needed The view of the Cedar River for gorgeous even if it was to low to fish The screened in porch/balcony was our favorite area We saw eagles, deer and crane while enjoying our meals and coffee Beds were comfortable Neighborhood seemed very safe, quiet and semi private We didn’t have time to use the nice bike/walking path not far from the home but that is a perk Tony was more than accommodating!!! We will recommend this home to all of our friends needing an area in Cedar Falls

Perfect getaway
We wanted one last little getaway before school started up again. This home and property was perfect for our family. Everything from the cozy loft to the Roku TV’s in each room and the beautiful view of the Cedar River was just what we as a family needed to regroup and spend some quality time together. The kitchen was also a big hangout spot for our teens. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful home!
This house is amazing! It was unbelievably clean and everything felt new. The owners thought of so many little things to make our stay comfortable (space heaters, extra blankets, lots of kitchen appliances and tools, and even games/toys for the kids). The views of the river were wonderful. We had a long and busy weekend of sports in Cesar Falls for our kids, and it was so nice to come back to a comfortable home each evening. We would definitely stay here again!
