Very Welcoming Place in Small Town Iowa

Very clean, welcoming VRBO in the middle of downtown. This is my third stay at this location, and I've not had any issues with outside noise. The host has been very quick and courteous to any questions. There is a small local grocery store just across the street, which makes it convenient to grab some quick groceries.

Cute and convenient

We stayed here two nights for a wedding 30 miles south of town. It was cute, clean and had special amenities like shampoo, coffee, and a blow dryer, things we forgot to pack. There as a grocery store across the street and an amazing Mexican restaurant about 3 blocks away. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area! Super impressed!

Great location

It was easy to reserve and access. I would have given a 5 star but the shower did not have hot water and very little water pressure.

A perfect place!

A comfortable, cozy refuge in a charming town, close to a wonderful dark skies conservancy (Whiterock) in the heart of Iowa. The place was immaculate, with lots of thoughtful amenities ( like a cute private deck in the back) that made our stay a lot of fun as well very relaxing. We would love to return, and highly recommend this place to everyone!

Excellent Place and Great Hospitality

This apartment was the perfect place to accommodate our family of six, and Amber included all kinds of extras - treats and necessary items. We were greeted on our arrival with a basket of goodies, and the ambiance of Christmas music and lights throughout the place. With four boys, ages 11-17, we were very pleased and relieved to find packages of toothbrushes and toothpaste (among all else that was provided) when we realized they forgot to pack their own. This was upon our arrival after 10:00p.m., when no other options were available. From the excellent communications to the thoughtfulness of our hosts, we were completely satisfied with our experience. We highly recommend this apartment for anyone needing a place to stay in the CoonRapids area!

Great Location

This downtown loft was in a great location to several little towns where we went antique shopping. Host went out of her way by brining up a recliner to amend the daybed seating to make it more comfortable. Very quiet at night. Beautiful area to enjoy the rolling hills and sunsets.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Amber and I was born and raised in Coon Rapids. My dad was even mayor! Twice! After 6 years away, I chose to bring my 3 boys back *home*. I am primarily a stay at home momma to my 5 year old. I also have 18 & 20 year old boys, but they only need me when they need clean clothes or food! HAHA I’m also boudoir photographer, I DJ weddings or big events once in a while and can even throw a wild karaoke party. I LOVE Coon Rapids, so when I chose to get this apartment for my photography studio, I thought it would be great to share it on VRBO when I don’t have any scheduled photo shoots!

Why they chose this property

Downtown Coon Rapids is the heart of our little town. You’ll find plenty of shopping and dining options. When it’s HOT outside, we LOVE going to our amazing aquatic center then stopping to get our favorite dairy free, gluten free, sugar free & kosher soft serve ice cream from Nature Amill. I’m not sure what sorcery is used to make it (Carrie makes the soft serve mix HOMEMADE!) but it’s DELISH! There’s also a ton of walking or biking trails around Coon Rapids! When there’s snow on the ground, there are some AWESOME sledding hills by the high school! When it’s beautiful outside, there are miles and miles of walking and biking trails around Coon Rapids.
