Fantastic VRBO!

Super cute house and exactly what I needed on my way from Arkansas to Minnesota. Less than a mile down the road from the house is a fantastic, fenced dog park if you travel with dogs.

Nice getaway

Loved this cabin. Very cozy. We were there when temps were negative, and were pleasantly suprised at the warmth the cabin had. Barb was great, checked in, and was flexible with check in/check out times. It had everything we needed for some recharge/self care. Would love to come back sometime!

Another Great Stay!

We had another wonderful stay at The Corn Crib on our first leg traveling from Wisconsin to Texas. Barb is a great host and provides everything needed and more. She has created a cozy, warm place to hang out and sleep (the beds are very comfortable)! We hope to always be able to stay with her on our travels through Iowa. Thank you Barb!

Great Owners and Great Spot!

Love this little rental! The location is very convenient and comfortable. The owner was absolutely wonderful and very concerned about our safety as storms moved through the evening we were there. We were able to have our dogs there which was a must for us as we were heading for Missouri. We will definitely use this rental again. Thank you for a great stay!

Perfect country atmosphere in city. Wish we would had had more time to just relax outdoors & make a fire in the fire pit, but we were tired when we got back. Very nice place to stay!
