About this property
Best for family and friends. We have everything you need.
Memory Maker House is our fully renovated historic property. Guests say we thought of everything, and it feels like home. Enjoy the Blackstone grill, locally roasted coffee, separate workspace, kid-friendly essentials, EV charger. Unwind on the shaded deck or backyard patio. Cheer for your team on a 75" TV. Reward yourself with the MBR: king, 65” TV, en-suite. Ample parking with covered garage. Open floor plan DR/kitchen/FR. Minutes from UNI, the Dome, downtown. Lighted pickleball courts nearby.
We chose layout, furnishings, accommodations, supplies, etc. like their family would stay and/or work there. The living room has a pocket door which effectively turns the room into a dedicated workspace or an escape for kids to watch TV. The kitchen flows into the dining area, so big groups can have a meal together - at the kitchen island, dining table, or both. Upstairs you will find washer/dryer, master (king) bedroom/full bath, and three bedrooms/full bath. All bedrooms have black-out curtains. Three TV’s: 75” (family room), 65” (MBR), 55” (living room).

About the host
Hosted by Michael McCandless
We’re originally from the Midwest, and moved to North Carolina in the early 90’s. Our kids/grandkids are still in the Midwest - 4 of them in Cedar Falls. That was reason enough to create Memory Maker House.
Why they chose this property
We have always lived in (updated) older homes. There is a charm, and story you won’t find in newer construction. Our 4BR property is THE closest to UNI (University of Northern Iowa) - we love being part of a college town.
What makes this property unique
UNI proximity is a key feature. The UNI Dome is < 1 mile away. If you’re a pickleball fan, there are two lighted courts one block away. We setup the house intentionally for families to make memories, which means enough space to gather, and enough space to be separate when you want. If you’re bringing an infant/toddler - we have what you need: pack-and-play, high chair, baby gate, infant bath. If you need to send the kids to a separate room, or take a conference call - we’ve got you covered. The living room has a pocket door separating it from the rest of the first floor.
