The house was perfect for our family event. We were close to Waverly for a Wartburg graduation, played pickle ball, and had a lovely day downtown. The house was beautiful and well outfitted for a large group. We had plenty of room to play games and enjoy each others company.

Great house for a group!

Michael and Andrea’s home was a great fit for our group. It was clean, comfortable and a perfect fit for a large group! We were able to go to the amusement park and water park easily and have a comfortable home each night to cook and rest. Michael was responsive and great to work with. We would stay here again!

We made some wonderful memories at your memory maker home! Some of the things we enjoyed the most. Beautiful big porch, front and back. Fully stocked modern kitchen. Amenities for the little ones like a high chair, pack and play and baby toys. Central location for our family reunion and water park. There were 11 of us and there was Plenty of room for everyone. The host communicated well with us. Answered all questions we had in a timely manner. The home is beautifully updated but has an old world charm. We highly recommend the Memory Maker home!
