About this property

Relax, enjoy the view, get away from it all at Cedar Lake, Nashua, IA!

Located at 228 Sample Street, Nashua, Iowa; the Nashua Lake House provides short term rentals which are available by the night, weekend, week or month! This fully furnished lake front property provides opportunities to enjoy Cedar Lake and the town of Nashua.

The lower level contains three bedrooms, one is furnished with a king-sized bed and two are furnished with queen beds. The fully equipped kitchen includes a roomy full-sized refrigerator equipped with an ice maker, full sized electric stove, super quiet dishwasher and built in microwave. The bathroom is equipped with a tub/shower combination. A full-sized washer and dryer are located off one of the bedrooms and can be used by guests.

We are adding an additional bathroom with a shower on the main floor and anticipate that it will be ready for the summer 2025 season.

As an option, you can also add the upper story to your booking. The upstairs contains two bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed, a second kitchen, living room, laundry and a bathroom with a tub and shower combination. A couch upstairs also folds out. The cost to rent the upper unit is $75 a night. This is a charge that we need to manually add to the invoicing, so please let us know if you want to rent the upper floor in addition to the lower unit. Complete your booking, including inputting the total number of guests and then send a message that you want to add the upper floor. We will then send an invoice for the additional cost.

The main floor dining room has a 54" round oak table with chairs, and the living room and master bedroom are each furnished with 32-inch flat screen televisions and DVD players. The home features hardwood floors on the main level. It has central air and central heat. the upper floor, if added to your booking, has its own central air and central heat, which helps ensure your comfort, with each floor having its own thermostat.

Outside you'll find a charcoal grill or two, patio furniture and a great view of the water. There is a large covered porch attached to the garage that faces the water. The porch is a great place to hang out in the shade and is equipped with four ceiling fans (very helpful if the air is still or bugs are being annoying).

The house sits high on the riverbank and the cement dock can be accessed by descending forty, rather steep steps, (with a sturdy handrail) to the waterfront. The small cement dock allows you to fish, if you'd like. Immediately to the east of the house is a small public park that includes a gazebo/shelter. Off street parking is available on the north side of the house. The entry door provides keyless entry with a four digit code.

The unit is smoke and pet free. While daily cleaning is not provided during your stay, a washer and dryer is available should you need to do up a quick load of towels, etc. Wireless internet is available throughout the house.

We have a personal use unit that is attached to the rented house. There is soundproofing between the two units to ensure privacy, but we do want to make you aware that we may be on the property site. There is a large patio area between our unit and the lake. You are welcome to use the patio. Quiet time is from 10:30 p.m. until 7:00 a.m.

We invite you to stay for a relaxing get away at the Lake!

Comfortable inside, fun outside!

Amazing stay! The spa tub and shower felt great after long days outside. On rainy days - lots of good movies and fun games to watch. Also, even though raining, the large, covered porch was a great place to sit! Fishing was okay - not anyone's fault on that - just water that was too high from all the heavy rain. The beds are amazingly comfortable! We visited the museum, which was a nice little outing. We went to the beach...it was nice but very cold! We also went to Dairy Treat, recommended by owner of the property, and it was so delicious! Truely a great stay!! Thank you.

Over stated property on VRBO

We have stayed in this property many times in the past few years. It is an old house that needs a lot of TLC. It needs updates! It needs paint in and out. It is dark inside. Some lights don't work. There are old chairs sitting alongside the house that are junk. The DVD player does not play Blue Ray disks. The TV is a joke. All the electrical receptacles are a nightmare of wires and look like a fire hazard. The kitchen floor was sticky, The front door and entry are dirty and old and in need of help. For the price we paid this is a rip off. It should be at a much lower price. Thanks! P. S. Nice view of lake.

Staying with Grandma

Please be aware- the owner "stays" in the garage/bungalow on the premises,(or uses it as an excuse to stop by) so it's much like staying with angry grandma- who has a strict curfew. Difficult to totally relax. The patio is by far the best feature, and the view is breathtakingly beautiful. But be aware, although there is enough seating for 20 or more people, she is very strict about only allowing 8 people on the patio. So it won't work for any sort of family or friend gathering. And she DOES check in, to make sure you are complying. We discovered that there are MANY places on the same lake with equal or even better views. The Back door (which is the main entry door) only opens half way as it gets hung up on the warped floor. So, larger luggage will need to come in the front door. The kitchen is sparsely supplied and the drawers, original to the house, flop forward when you open them, making all the contents become disheveled. The supplies that are provided are in a hot mess, making it hard to find things, and difficult to actually cook there. Also-There was a lovely centipede who resides in the tub, on a daily basis (in all fairness, it is an older house, so he might be original as well)

There for son’s Memorial

Place was very nice. View exceptional. House just my style (antiques)…. But. O response from host. I asked at reservation time if fees could be less due to the reason for being in Nashua. My 26 year old son passed away after a 3+ year health battle…. His celebration of life was Sunday. No response I could have gotten something complementary had I inquired with his friends but had already been charged

Great space for any size crowd

We got the space to get together with the whole family. 17 people with a wide age range, and we were never crowded with the large patio and deck. There was plenty of seating and the kids loved playing at the adjacent park. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to gather a large group or if you wanted a relaxing spot with just a few people.

Hidden gem

Enjoyed the patio space immensely. We took the option to rent the kayaks which was a very peaceful paddle in the lake. It is best to have a way to haul the kayaks to a boat ramp as the steps to the water from the patio would be difficult to navigate with heavy kayaks.

Nice stay

I met a few girl friends for a night away (meeting halfway between our homes). The space was nice. We liked having a furnished kitchen, cozy dining room, and comfortable couches and beds. The upstairs neighbors were quite noisy at one point during the night though it was more due to the young age versus being a rude tenant. I thought the price was quite high for what we got during the winter months, but would consider this place definitely worth the cost in the summer and fall. Overall a nice place to be, but probably won't rent again for this price in the winter.

Nashua Lake House

Interior of this home is beautiful. Original woodwork, hardwood floors, terrific natural light, and a great view of Cedar Lake. The house is clean and spacious. Spent a lot of time playing board games from the game closet and sitting out on the patio while roasting marshmallows. Easy location to find, easy to get to. Our only complaint was the heavy footed long term renters upstairs. We would recommend.
