Iowa County Conservation turns house into vacation rental
LADORA – When a new Iowa County Conservation director opted not to live in a county-owned house just south of the entrance to Lake Iowa Park on G Avenue, the conservation board looked for other uses for it. The conservation board is turning the house at 2576 G Ave. into a vacation rental to bring in a little money to fund the park. “I elected not to live there,” said Jacob Slings, who became the director in 2024, but the house will make a nice option for people who don’t want to camp or rent a cabin. “It’s a quality space,” said Slings. “It’s a good option from a revenue standpoint.” The cabins at Lake Iowa Park sleep 6-8, said Slings. The house could sleep 10-12. It has three bedrooms, two baths and a full kitchen. “It’s got a great living room,” Slings said. Families could rent it for Thanksgiving or Christmas or family reunions. The lake is the site of a lot of family reunions, he said. Iowa County Conservation has removed the carpet from the house and will replace the flooring with something easier to clean for hunters or families who have their dogs in the house, said
