The Barn Loft, located in NE Iowa, is just a short drive from some of the best trout fishing in this part of the state! It is a full Loft Space (1500 square feet) above this Timber Framed Barn built by Wally and Traci. Here you have access to your own rooms, kitchen, and more. Whether you're a large family, or a couple just trying to get away for a few days, The Barn Loft is perfect for you and your loved ones. There are miles of hiking trails and private streams. Ask about hunting.

With it's rustic charm you will fall in love with The Barn Loft and it's surrounding scenery.

Neighborhood highlights

This home is miles away from the closest towns which include, Eitzen, MN, Spring Grove, MN, Highlandville, IA, Decorah, IA....ect. Most of my guests bring groceries, full kitchen with all pots pans etc well thought out. Our Black Lab "Harli" likes to greet guests, as well as some neighbor dogs that love the barn. We also have 3 cats that hang out around the property outside that may come to say hello. Our horse "Rio" loves attention too so feel free to go visit him in his stable area:)
