A historic home, beautifully remodeled.
Five bedrooms, seven beds, room for ten — a newly renovated historic home minutes from UNI and downtown Main Street. Book direct with us and skip the platform fees.
Old-house character, brand-new everything.
This spacious historic home has been renovated top to bottom — modern fixtures and appliances throughout, with all the warmth of the original character intact. With two separate living rooms, a formal dining room, and a big, well-stocked kitchen with a casual eating area, there's space for everyone to spread out and still come back together.
It's a favorite for families, UNI parents and alumni, wedding parties, and groups back in town for game days and reunions — many of our guests return year after year.
Sleeps 10 comfortably
One king, two queens, and two twin rooms across five real bedrooms — no sofa-bed shuffle required.
A kitchen built for groups
New appliances, ample counter space, and a casual eating area — plus a formal dining room for the big meals.
Two living rooms
Movie night in one, quiet conversation in the other. Big groups fit here without feeling stacked on each other.
Minutes from everything
Close to UNI's campus, the UNI-Dome, and downtown Cedar Falls' Main Street shops and restaurants.
Good to know: like most historic homes, the bedrooms are on the upper floors — so expect stairs. If anyone in your group needs a stair-free stay, message us before booking and we'll talk through the layout.

We had another amazing stay! We were in town for a trade show in Waterloo, and this was our second time staying here. Last year I brought my work team, and this year I did the same because we had such a great experience the first time.
The location is excellent, and the house has a warm, cozy, nostalgic feel while still offering modern décor and updated amenities. With five people traveling together, everyone had their own room, which made it perfect for both privacy and team bonding.
We enjoyed gathering in the common areas to connect, share ideas, and recap our days after the trade show. The house is comfortable, welcoming, and has everything we need for a productive and enjoyable stay.
This place has become our go-to when we’re in Waterloo. We look forward to returning again next year!
