About this farm stay rental

If you would like a quiet country setting then look no further. Bring your family or friends and enjoy a stay on the farm. This rental will sleep 14 comfortably. There is plenty of room inside and outside with parking for boats and campers, as well as one hookup for a camper. Even though this is not a working farm we do work with a local farmer for tours on their farm. Please let us know at time of reservation if that is something you are interested in. Need a place to hold your event? The BARN is ready!

If you are looking for a nice country setting to have a family reunion, special birthday party, work related events, class reunions or small wedding receptions we have the facility to meet your needs. There will be a catering option coming. Please call 641-425-4282 for information. It will hold 75 to 100 people. We have the table, chairs, and linens. We have other decorating items you may use for a small fee.

Our home has all of the amenities you will need to enjoy with family and friends complete with a grill, firepit, soaking tubs, fireplaces and ping pong. My favorite spot outside is sitting around the firepit with a glass of wine or beer. How many of you like to look at the stars? We have the perfect spot to stargaze. The kids enjoy catching fire flies especially in June. If you are interested in day trips there is plenty to see and do in the area. Fishing, hiking, bike trail, swimming, hunting, snowmobiling and golfing to name a few. Pheasant hunting has become a great draw for our guests. We have guests from Alabama and South Carolina come every year in November just to hunt. You might even consider Deer Season which is the first part of December. While in town you will want to check out our Windsor Theater as well as the many small shops and restaurants. Check out Franklin County Tourism for events happening in the area during your stay.

If you are up for a longer day trip we are only 30 minutes from Clear Lake, 50 minutes from Ames and hour from Waterloo. There so many things to explore if you haven't been to North Central Iowa. The Grotto is one of my favorite at West Bend, Iowa. It is about an hour away. Let us know what your interests are and we can help with suggestions.

Our home was built in 1921 by our ancestors. Over the years we have updated and now it is a special place for families and friends to make memories. We hope you will decide to stay with us. You never know what you might find on the farm. Hope to see you soon!

This was the second time we stayed at this house and had a family gathering there. We all grew up visiting our grandparents’ farm and staying here brings back wonderful memories. The house is clean and well appointed. We loved staying there!

The driveway and walkway were shoveled. Check-in was simple and easy. Plenty of room for everyone. The house was well stocked with towels, linens, and housewares. Every room had its own bathroom. We will definitely stay there again!

This was a great property for our family. Plenty of space inside. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. We had 9 adults and 3 children under 10. We played yard games and catch in the big yard. We explored and shopped in nearby Hampton. Our host even called us in the evening to alert us to upcoming storm warning. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable.

This was a great place for a quiet retreat! We had stormy weather, so we didn't get to use the fire pit as planned, or spend as much time outside, but it was spacious, comfortable, and perfect inside. The only downside was that the house has been smoked in at some point, so the lingering smell of smoke along with air fresheners was a bit strong at times.

This house was great with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. We had a party of 12 and everyone had plenty of space. The kitchen had most of what we needed. Our kids enjoyed the rec room and played lots of ping pong. The house listing says it has hot tubs/whirlpool tubs, but really they are just the claw foot bathtubs in the regular bathrooms. Everything else was great!

We spent the weekend with our family here. There are plenty of rooms and bathrooms to accommodate a large group. The property was clean and comfortable. Feeding the goats was a bonus that our grandson enjoyed. The only negative is the property's location next to a busy highway and it really wasn't that bad. We would stay here again and recommend it.

Making memories with the grandkids

The grand kids, my eldest daughter and 91 year old mother just wanted to get out of town overnight. Mom hasn't really got out much since covid. Grandkids are 2,6,7 and 9 and really had fun seeing the goats that the property owners brought over.

This is a great option for family gatherings. Plenty of rooms, beds and showers. Very comfortable. Large kitchen where multiple people can cook at the same time. Fun game rooms in the basement. We had a ping pong tournament. Exceeded our expectations!

Awesome place for family gathering!

Awesome place for family gathering!

Property was as described and suited us very well for a holiday family gathering. Clean, comfortable, well appointed and spacious home that allowed multiple families to travel from many different directions and enjoy a meal together. Basement with ping pong and other activities was a good fit for a cold Iowa day. Loved having the extra refrigerator and washer/dryer onsite. The stairs were a challenge with a two year old but with a gate and barriers, we made it work. Nice to have a king and regular bed on main floor. This would be a great place for family gatherings, wedding parties, or groups to get together. Hosts were very responsive to any questions and easy to work with. We hope to return when weather permits the enjoyment of the outdoors!

It’s completely different stay for us. Loved it a lot. We checked in at around 10pm and was little afraid about the house. Its like a house with rooms which never end. By the time we woke up in the morning we started loving the house. Host was very communicative. He responds as soon as he can. Will plan to go back there again

Family time on the farm 🚜

Family time on the farm 🚜

We all had a great time! We are all use to being on the go all the time with our vacations so it took a little getting use to, lol. Very relaxing, lots of room to spread out. My middle son loved the game room down stairs. Stairs were a little steep for me so I never made it down there. Tom and Jerry the goats were a hit! My kids named them for the week we were there. Tom and Jerry followed my 10 year old while he hunted for Easter eggs. Its a good thing there was so much space in the house because the weather was not on our side. I think at least 3 days it was so windy we couldn't stay outside long. House had everything we needed. Owner set up some personal touches for my 3 boys which was very much appreciated! I would have to say my only complaint would be the steet noise. I am a light sleeper so the cars kept me up alot. But that can't be helped. Awesome stay! Thank you Donnis and Lacey we really enjoyed ourselves.

We had a wonderful weekend getaway. There was lots of room and a table big enough to let us all play cards and enjoy home cooked meals. The close proximity to the beautiful State Park and Hampton enabled us to do a little hiking and pick up some needed supplies. Overall great experience.
