Vacation rentals in Griswold

This was a large beautiful home with a ton of character. We were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay together as a family instead of at a hotel so we could hang out after putting the kids to bed. This was an awesome house for our situation, having tons of beds/upstairs bedrooms. We were able to fit our entire family and separate the kids from the noise on the main level! We were so grateful to find this place that fit our needs perfectly. It was a very well taken care of place and made our stay work out perfectly!

We were in town for a short business trip, this place was perfect. Amazing views. We ended up getting quite a bit of snow and our host was so responsive and proactively brought us a goody box of things we might need. Stay was amazing, definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

We enjoyed our stay at hilltop! We were there for a family wedding and it was so nice to be close to the venue! There were enough beds to fit our families as well which was great! Julie was very responsive with our questions! We will hopefully be returning at some point when we are visiting family again!

Amy's home is cozy, comfortable and immaculately clean. The kitchen was well equipped except for a spaghetti serving spoon I needed, but I improvised. Our dogs enjoyed exploring the private, fenced in backyard. The stairs to the basement are directly across from the backdoor. When we first got there, we let our dogs into the backyard. In my dogs' excitement to explore the house, one of them leaped from the step on the enclosed patio straight across to the basement stairs. It was dark and I'm sure he thought he was running into a room instead of stairs. My heart jolted as I heard him tumble down the stairs. Thankfully, he was fine, but he had no further interest in the basement. The house is a short drive to Bellevue, where my husband had business for the week. I appreciated the desk from which I could work remotely. There are quite a few stairs to get to the front door and to keep in mind if you're bringing multiple bags. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at Amy's Baby Blue!

Amber went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Her 100 year+ home is in a historic district of Council Bluffs adjacent to the Gilbralter Neighborhood Trailhead. Several of our family members took advantage of its proximity and went hiking during our visit. Her home is a mix of old and new - 19th and early 20th century craftsmanship, such as a beautiful central staircase, combined with 21st century technology such as WiFi, and numerous televisions throughout the expansive home. Fun amenities include a pinball machine and a treadmill for exercise. My family especially enjoyed competing on the pinball machine. Amber’s home was stocked with all sorts of treats ranging from muffins to a charcuterie tray. Whenever we had a question either about something in the home or some activity in the area, Amber was very quick to respond. I’ve stayed in numerous vacation rental properties. This one stands out in all the right ways. I would definitely recommend.

This is a beautiful place! It works great for families. The grandkids enjoyed playing in the sand on the beach and running around the backyard. The firepit was perfect! Everyone enjoyed roasting marshmallows and making smores. We got to see wildlife - squirrels, cranes, geese, ducks, raccoons and a very friendly cat that came to sit by the deck door which all of the kids enjoyed. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay with the family for a getaway weekend! Each of them said what a nice place it was and so roomy. I even had a granddaughter ask this morning if we could go back to the "lake house". Thank you for sharing it with us!

Noel’s place was perfect for our party of 9 and that included 2 toddlers. Plenty of space. Everything we needed. And it was very clean. Great place.

We loved our stay at Rachel's! She was quick to respond with questions. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was quiet...summer time might be a bit more busy, but it was just what we needed! There is a ton of space! A nice touch was finding a couple of dog bowls...especially since I had forgotten ours at home! The bed was comfortable as well. Looking forward to our next stay! I'd highly recommend Rachel's home!
