Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Modern home with beautiful views in all seasons, large fireplace and full kitchen. Four bedrooms (with 5 beds) and two bathrooms. Less than a mile from HWY 141, approx 1.5 miles from Jamaica, 7 miles to Perry and 50 miles from the Des Moines airport. A stone's throw from the Raccoon River Valley Trail.

The space
A Jamaican vacation--no passport required! The home is on a farm with several acres to roam about. Built only 10 years ago, the home is clean and modern with geothermal heating and cooling, large TV (although no cable but we do have an Apple TV so you can enjoy all your favorite streaming services). Fully stocked kitchen, modern appliances, and lots of charm, games, books, and records. It’s a fantastic place to “disconnect” and reconnect with your travel partners. There’s a large yard for games, two fire pits for roasting marshmallows (one on that patio and a larger one a short walk down the hill), and the patio is a great spot to relax and enjoy the stars at night.

Guest access
Enjoy cocktails on the large patio directly off the living room after a long day on the bike trails. Parking in front of building with key access.

Other things to note
PARKING
While we are located in the country and there is plenty of parking, it is appreciated if you follow the recommendations in the last image from the photo section (drive past the two white garages in the driveway, turn left after the second white building and park at an angle towards the building). Parking this way allows 7-8 cars to park in an organized manner so everyone can get in and out without having to make other people move their cars (or making a mess of the yard...especially if it’s muddy!).

Lives in Jamaica, Iowa
Ah, Jamaica! Right? I have lived on this property over a decade and am thankful everyday to call it "home." I love meeting fun loving, happy people and enjoy sharing my space. I try to travel as much as possible and love hearing about other's experiences. Fresh vegetables from the garden, running around with my dogs, cooking mouth watering meals, concocting delicious cocktails, watching the sunset, checking out the stars, reading eye opening books and partaking in enlightening conversations with open-minded, intelligent people are a few of my favorite things.
