10/10
We were traveling from Boston, Miami, Ft. Myers and Michigan for a family wedding in Cedar Rapids and really didn't want a chain hotel. With 9 family members to accommodate, I searched a bit before finding Peggy and Seth's home. Its size, amenities and pastoral setting appealed to all of us. We arrived on Friday evening, got my parents, aunt and uncle settled and set off for the grocery store about a 15 minute drive away. We intended to prepare all meals at the house. The kitchen is very well appointed for a VRBO and for catering to large parties (OK, the burners on the cooktop are a little.. wonky!) and the gas grill was set with a fresh tank so we were all ready to go.We had drinks on the back deck and then all 9 of us gathered around the kitchen table for a great dinner. We had intended to have a fire and chat around the fire pit near the grill, but the wind was gusting and my nephew being a fireman nixed that idea. We set up in the living room and just enjoyed the home, after dinner drinks and catching up.Saturday started with a family breakfast, a hop across the creek and walk around a wildflower meadow bursting with flowers and filled with butterflies, birds and bumblebees.I have so much more to say, but am fast approaching the limit! We can't thank Peggy and Seth enough for sharing their home with us. It was an absolute oasis of tranquility that sparkled with fireflies and stars. They are hosts extraordinaire.
