Megan responder quickly to my last minute reservation. She was also polite, flexible and understanding.

Every Airbnb experience just continues to get better & better! Carmella & Ken were wonderful hosts—welcoming us into their beautiful, rustic, charming farmhouse even though we were hours later than we had originally anticipated. Carmella made us feel right at home upstairs in the comfortable bedroom & downstairs in the spacious, clean kitchen. She was so accommodating of our potential needs. In the morning, her & Ken cooked us a fantastic farmhouse breakfast & dined with us on the porch. They were full of wonderful conversation & stories. When we left, my mother said, "That was better than any hotel experience." I agree!

I was here on business, traveling about the area servicing businesses in a couple dozen surrounding cities. Carmella and Ken were gracious hosts and made every effort to be accommodating to my hectic schedule.

I want to thank Carmella and Ken one more time. They were so accomodating over the three weeks I traveled through Iowa.

I truly enjoyed my stay at Carmella and Ken's, as I was travelling through the area for work. They were gracious and generous hosts, sharing their home with me (original woodwork in a 1917 Victorian, they're so lucky!), having a nice chat and glass of wine while watching the sunset from their lovely patio, and making a tasty breakfast spread featuring homemade waffles the next morning. The room itself was very comfortable; they even had a fan for white noise (not that you need it, as it's so quiet). If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be sure to stay here! As a heads up for those who haven't spent much time in rural Iowa, you'll probably want to grab dinner on your way up like I did, as Rolfe is a very small town (your only option in town is Casey's and more options are about 30 minutes away).

What wonderful hosts Carmella and Ken were. I think this may have been my favorite of all times as they welcomed us from a terrible storm that we had just passed through by offering us a glass of wine. The bed was very comfortable, breakfast was absolutely wonderful brought up to us in a second upstairs room, almost like breakfast in bed. Not one complaint, the place and hosts were perfectly lovely.

A memorable stay, with generous hospitality, a knockout for a house and wonderful food and conversation with our hosts. This might be our best Airbnb experience ever!

My husband and I loved staying with Carmella and Ken. They are so warm and friendly and they made us feel right at home. There is nothing like being greeted upon check-in with a glass of good wine and great conversation and breakfasts in the morning were delicious! I highly recommend their bnb and if we ever find ourselves in the area again we will be sure to drop by for a stay.

I want to thank Carmella and Ken again for a great stay during a business trip.

Janie amd Bob were great hosts!

Excellent place as always

The house was great. Perfect for a weekend getaway. My husband and I usually prefer something more secluded, but being off the street made it very cozy and private. We only had to walk a couple blocks to get to the theater and shops, which made it perfect for an impromptu movie night after we got settled in. It was a pleasant 10-15 minute walk to hyvee for groceries, but we didn't need very much since the kitchen was very nicely stocked with basics and snacks. I prefer to cook than go out usually and the kitchen had everything we needed. Out of our three nights there, we only went out to eat twice. One was at the local Mexican restaurant for lunch because it was recommended by multiple people and it was Cinco de Mayo. The other was because we wanted to dress up and go out for our anniversary. We had no problem cooking all the rest of our meals in the house. There was a great assortment of toiletries as well. I always overpack anyway, but if I only brought a quarter of what I did, we would have been fine. Janie and Bob were great hosts. They familiarized us with the house and had a great book with brochures and maps of things in the area. After that, they gave us our privacy unless we needed something. I do wish I had invited them across the yard when we made a fire so we could have gotten to know them better. They seem like very interesting people. We had a great time and hope we can visit again in the future.

Super amazing!! Already planning our next trip here. I've been to many cabins in the actual mountains and this one wasn't even in the mountains and it was up there in my favorites! Bob and Janie were so welcoming & we're always making sure we were accommodated and having the best time we possibly could. Thanks so much!!

We came in on bicycles and Janie and Bob were there to greet us and show us around the tiny house. They gave us great recommendations for food and had supplies for us if we wanted to eat in the house. Any toiletries you wanted were available and the place was well stocked with music and DVD's for entertainment. We loved our stay there!

Very very enjoyable. All the reviews are true. Cozy, lovely, comfortable, and everything you need is there.

Janie and Bob are great! We were traveling through on our way cross country and they made sure to accommodate our flexible arrival time. The cabin is very cute and spacious, very unique decorations, and stocked with yummy treats to make us feel welcome. We would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone traveling through Iowa for the night or even a longer stay, and it is definitely worth the trip of Algona even if it is a little out of the way. Thanks, Janie and Bob!

The hosts greeted me and showed me everything I need to see and how everything worked. Since I was back in my home town we knew a lot of the same people from high school days.

Zoe's home is very comfortable and welcoming! We had the entire lower level to ourselves, and Zoe was very accommodating to our needs. She is an excellent host and did a wonderful job making us feel right at home. I highly recommend her place when visiting the Algona area!

Great host! Excellent accommodations, just like described. Everything was new and clean, awesome decor, wifi worked well. No complaints, thanks for the great stay!

This was my first Airbnb experience, and was even better than I could have hoped! Carmella and Ken were extremely warm and welcoming, lovely company during breakfast (which was all homemade and delicious), and easy to get ahold of when I needed to. The home was clean and beautiful, and quite easy to locate. I stayed in "Sarah's Room", which was gorgeous and cozy. I had a bathroom to myself, and had nothing but peace and quiet the whole time. I completely recommend this home to stay at. Thank you for a wonderful few days!

This was honestly one of the best Air B&B stays I've ever had. Carmella and Ken were so accommodating and the home so amazing that I secretly want to move in! I was met with wine and great conversation, I felt comfortable instantly even though I was travelling alone. The house is truly beautiful, all original woodwork, it's a 100 year old farmhouse. I woke up to the smell of the homemade frittata Ken was making me, he also made me rye bread and Carmella made me her famous Artisan bread, a fruitcake and blueberry muffins. I felt like royalty! I got to take some beautiful sunrise photos, they helped me with suggestions of what to do in the area, and Carmella sent me on my way with homemade gingersnap cookies. I can't wait to get back there. Absolutely nothing I would change, it far exceeded my expectations and I can't believe my good fortune to have stumbled upon this little slice of heaven!

Carmella and Ken were excellent hosts! They welcomed us even though we booked late in the day and arrived that same night. Nice conversation with a glass of Italian wine. The farmhouse was beautifully furnished and elegant, even though 100years old. Ken made us a spectacular breakfast and we were on our way after a very pleasant visit with Carmella. I wished we had arrived earlier or stayed longer. Excellent hosts!

Stayed in house for three days while in area on business. Host had cheese and wine when I arrived at the house and was great at communicating and made sure that everything was great. House is out in the country in a nice quiet area. It sits on a hill next to a stream and field. House is full of antiques and is very spacious. Kitchen is very nice and is easy to make any meals you would want. There is a newer TV with a blu-ray player. No cable or satellite, but there is local channels. Large garage to park your car and plenty of space to relax in the house. Beds are nice and several bedrooms to choose from. Will stay again when I'm in the area.

Wilma's home is just a few miles outside of Webster City and was fantastic. It was a perfect place to come back and visit while bringing my family of 4 along. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Wilma's home was great and we were in constant contact with her daughter, Kolleen, to help us with our arrival. Wine, cheese, and crackers were waiting for us as we arrived and the high speed internet worked really well for all our devices. This is definitely a place we will consider again when making the trip back to Iowa. Two Thumbs Up!

Fantastic place to stay near Webster City, IA. We were down at the Farm Progress Show working and had 4 colleagues staying here. Very convenient and perfect to get back and forth, and excellent value. The hosts were awesome and we had a great trip! Highly recommended!

This is an old house in the country. It had ample space for all of our family and the area was absolutely beautiful. It's a short drive to Webster City and also an easy drive to Fort Dodge. Our host left wine, cheese and farm fresh eggs for us, what a treat. The kitchen is very well outfitted, we had no difficulty finding any utensil or pan we might need. Garage is spacious with plenty of room for the car and I had a lovely early morning run on the road outside.

The house was filled with great antiques and sat on top of a hill with nice views of farmland and streams. Kolleen - the owner's daughter - communicated with us very well and made sure we had everything we needed, and she even had wine and cheese waiting for us! I'd love to stay there again when I visit my mother.

A wonderful experience for my husband and baby, in-laws, grandmother and aunt to stay for a family wedding. There was wine and cheese for us and COFFEE - I can't say enough amazing things about a host that leaves these! Communication was great via Airbnb, text and phone calls. Just an amazing stay overall in a cozy home with a lovely porch and yard to watch the sunset.

The host canceled this reservation 59 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Carla was a wonderful host. She made my wife and I feel right at home and have a beautiful home. We felt relaxed the moment we arrived. We will definitely be back!

Our stay for a long 3 day weekend was fantastic! Couldn't ask for a kinder host, it was a great location with a spectacular view of the lake, and Carla is a great cook! The living quarters were perfect. I would recommend The Lake House to anyone looking for a really nice getaway.

If you have an opportunity to stay at The Lake House ~ count it as your stroke of good fortune! Let me begin with the wonderful accommodations. We had the entire lower level to ourselves - fully stocked mini fridge, very clean, comfortable queen bed & great hammock for naps, fantastic ensuite bath with jetted tub, access to washer/dryer, plus amazing views out every (floor to ceiling) window ~ everything was 5 star! Now let me tell you about the bonus - our hostess Carla - she is such a delight, we so enjoyed the opportunity to gain a new friend. We enjoyed every moment at her home, we felt welcomed from the moment we met. She cooked amazing breakfasts each day, appetizers with a glass of wine in the evening. Carla is one in a million a truly special person.

Carla is a terrific host and has thought of everything in the guest rooms ! She lives on the ground floor and is available nearly anytime for assistance. She is a thoughtful chef and accommodated our special diets without hesitation. She is always laughing and smiling, as well as is a gracious, intelligent, informed host. This is the best property on the lake with stunning views.

Highly recommend this lake house. Beautiful house, accommodating host! Very comfortable, fun, and relaxing! A do-over.

We are just back from our wonderful stay at The Lake House. We were lucky to enjoy all that this spot offers. With nice weather we had a true lake experience. The host worried about every aspect of our stay. We can't wait to go back.

This place is a must! The house is beautiful and very clean, tastefully decorated and has stunning views over the lake. More important though, we got to meet our very kind host Clara, and her sweet elderly dog Diesel. Who were kind enough to let us stay after season as the only guests. Higly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at the Lake House! Carla met us when we arrived with snacks and a glass of wine. The Holt's have a beautiful home with plenty of room to relax and spread out. The weather was perfect during our visit. We went out on the lake with kayaks and floaties! We also ate at the local eatery on the lake and had pizza on the deck! Thank you Carla for being such a wonderful hostess! We hope to be back next year!

This was my second trip to stay with Carmella and Ken and I will be back again. We had such a wonderful time and it feels like coming home at their house. Breakfast with them was the highlight of our trip! Homemade artisan breads and jam, omelettes, asparagus with hollandaise, assorted breakfast meats, fruit, homemade coffee cake....we felt like royalty! Carmella even sent us off with a bag or fresh baked cookies. Couldn't have asked for a better hostess!

Wonderful stay, Carmella & Ken were great hosts and we're very helpful, interesting and generous with their time. The basement room was ideal for us; with two beds, a gas fireplace, a siting area and a tv. If your travels include this area of Iowa I would highly recommend staying with Carmella & Ken.
