Bella's Suite is the private, lower level of our home, with a separate entrance. The beautifully decorated space includes living & dining room, fully equipped kitchen, bath, bedroom & a massage room. Our farm is nestled beside 140 acres of beautifully groomed public trails. Feed the cows, read a book on the beach, take a hike, fish for bluegills in our lake, race a pig, skip rocks or canoe in the creek, have a bonfire (S'mores provided) & stargaze from the relaxing hot tub!

The space
Our hobby farm, Stars Hollow, is located 15 min north of historic downtown Cedar Falls and 10 min South of Waverly, IA. Lots to see and do...or choose to simply drink some sweet tea on a swing under a big shade tree or on the beach next to our pristine farm pond. With chickens, ducks, pigs, bees and a milk cow (and her calves;), along with deer, wild turkey, owls and bald eagles... you will experience a true haven of natural beauty. Some nearby attractions: Lost Island Waterpark, John Deere Tractor Museum, Grout & Ice House Museums, several wineries and micro-breweries, historic Downtown Cedar Falls shopping & restaurants, UNI Dome, Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center, several golf courses and much, much more! We truly want to make your stay as relaxing as it is memorable as we share this little piece of heaven with each of you.

Guest access
Once you arrive, we will give you a short tour of the property, the farm animals, the creek and the trail head. We hope you enjoy this property as much as we do!

Lives in Janesville, Iowa
Dan and I became country folk over 9 years ago when we found this beautiful property just north of Waterloo/Cedar Falls, Iowa. We never knew how much we would love running a hobby farm, which includes milking a cow (by hand;), lots of chickens, beekeeping, gardening, bread making, canning, etc. We just cannot keep this little piece of paradise, which is adjacent to 140 acre trail system, all to ourselves any longer! The property has an adorable cabin, which we have named Honeybee Cottage, along with a private and spacious lower level of our home, named Bella's Suite (after our jersey cow;). Come and see how beautifully blessed we are to live on this property..which is truly the land of milk and honey! We will do everything we can to make you feel as though our home is your home! In fact, don't be surprised to find some farm fresh eggs in your refrigerator, along with some other yummies;). We also host guests in our cozy 3 bedroom house (The Renovated Retreat) in a quiet neighborhood in Waterloo. Hope to see you soon!
