Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
This completely remodeled barn is nestled among the trees in beautiful northeast Iowa. Our goal was to both, create a space to escape the hustle and bustle of life and have the perfect place to rest after a day of hiking, fishing, or kayaking. Located within a few miles from not only some of the best trout streams in the area but also the beautiful Upper Iowa River.

The space
Upon walking inside the barn, the main floor includes a full kitchen and a dining area with plenty of room for a family meal. A living room with fireplace, queen size pullout sofa, and a half bath.

The upper level is perfect for a family. It includes a king size bed and two built in twin beds for the little ones who still like to sleep close by. A full bath with a tub/shower combo and a private balcony so you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee while watching the sunrise.

The private lower level is surround by beautiful stone, giving you that warm cozy feel. It has its own private entrance (lower level is not accessible from the main living area of the cabin) a queen and a full sized bed, a full bath and access to a washer and dryer.

The outdoor deck has a patio table, gas grill and a blackstone for those big family meals. There is a large patio area that connects to a smaller barn that we are currently renovating into a bar area.
The patio is perfect for outdoor games or cozying up next to the fire pit.
