As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

As the weather gets warmer, it seems like everyone gets the same idea – let’s head to the lake! That means fun in the sun, but it can also mean lots of crowds. Sometimes it feels like all the best lakes in Iowa have been discovered and everyone got there first – which is why we found one just for you. Lake Cornelia, located in the north-central area of Iowa, surrounded by small towns like Belmond and Clarion, is a peaceful oasis that makes a great spot for fishing and swimming. It’s also home to a charming lakeside VRBO in Iowa, the ideal place to spend a weekend of relaxing fun on the water. Sleeping up to eight people, this cabin will make you feel like you have the lake all to yourself. And who knows – you just might.
