Vacation rentals in Lake Darling

What a unique and wonderful house. Beautiful Victorian with all the charm saved for us to enjoy. TONS of space for a family gathering or event. We had everything we needed from dishes to towels to snacks that Sandy left. We had nine people staying there and all raved about the house and the stay. Hopefully we will have good reason to be back.

Enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for our group of 6. We each had our own bedroom and had plenty of room to play board games or watch TV. We were a little confused pulling up on where to park. Very close to Fairfield which has everything you would need. We chose the location due to proximity to Ottumwa and Cantril. Would be a lovely spot in the summer to stay.

Crista’s place is lovely! I had a great time. It was a quiet, clean and comfortable! So convenient to restaurants, bars and the river in the quaint cute little town of Keosaqua! This cute little place has everything could possibly want and more! Thanks for a great get away! I’ll definitely be back:)

I have stayed previously and on this trip my wife came along. Peaceful setting on the Des Moines River and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the covered back porch. If you are looking for a day or 2 or a week or 2, you can’t go wrong staying in the River Cabin. Thanks and see you next trip.

The hosts went above and beyond. I've stayed at other places, but I think these were my favorite hosts. The house was really clean, comfortable beds (and couch). The bathroom and kitchen are both newly updated and very clean, that's one of the main things that makes you feel more comfortable at a house. Especially the bathroom. Melissa was so sweet. I highly recommend this house to anyone. You won't be disappointed.

We had a fabulous time here. The house is fun, roomy, clean and comfortable. We were visiting my granddaughter and the house was perfect to hang out and enjoy family time. Highly recommend!

Fantastic hosts! Very communicative. Great little spot for a weekend trip to Iowa city.

super awesome and convenient location. close enough to walk to everything but not stuck in the loudness of downtown. house was very clean and a very inviting space.

The Droptine Cottage was exactly what we were looking for and Tony was great to work with! Super easy to find and get inside, with all of the amenities we needed for a quick trip to rural Iowa.
