Firefly Suites with a View!

TylerRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The pictured do not do this place justice it is even nicer than I expected. Kevin and Monica are great hosts, very responsive and informative. Very clean house and all the amenities you could ask for! If you’re looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing, away from noise, but still around the two biggest lakes in Iowa. This is the place to go.

Again, everything was perfect. Out of all the B&B's your stands out as the cleanest we've ever been to. That says a lot, especially since it is pet friendly and you wouldn't know that.
