About this property
Heart of the Loess Hills
A perfect oasis for a getaway into the country. Totally updated family retreat. Perfect for families, hunters and couples! Enjoy the tranquil country views from the front deck. Brand new fridge, couches, tables, chairs, beds, firepit, grill and all guest linens, paint, carpet etc.
Features oversized 3+car garage, and huge yard. Excellent spot for hunters, or anyone wanted to escape city life. Take a moment to view every single star in the sky. Beautiful furnishings to enjoy.
Board games and a foosball table are available also. Picnic table on deck is great if you want to eat outside and the firepit is a great gathering spot for everyone.
When you walk in you will see the gathering area of the dining Area with a large flat screen TV, living room with a large flat screen TV, fully functioning kitchen for creating your favorite meal and a sitting area next to the kitchen for enjoying your morning coffee. The bedrooms feature comfort plush mattresses and linens. Oversize bath towels enough for each guest.
The property includes 2 acres. Smart TV, so you can login and watch HULU, Netflix and other popular devices. We now have fast STARLINK Wi-Fi! We are very excited about this as cell service and internet was very difficult to get before. We are located 12 miles from Onawa. minutes away from Preparation Canyon State Park, 20 minutes from Blue Lake. Home is located near over 12,000 public hunting acres offering the best whitetail and turkey hunting in the Midwest.
Other things to note
We supply firewood for the outdoor firepit. Toilet paper, paper towels, hand and dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash are provided. We do not allow pets in this home or in the garage. They must be kept outside and renter is responsible for any waste removal and damage the pet does.
A little bit about our area:
The Loess Hills are a unique geographical formation that are composed of fine ground wind blown silt from glacier deposits. As the glaciers melted, the Missouri Valley flooded with enormous amounts of water. Each winter, the waters froze, and large areas of sediments were left exposed to the wind and blew to the East and deposited in the dune like hills, you will see.
Preparation Canyon offers a lake for kayaking and public fishing. The Overlook on the north edge provides an amazing view as well as hike. This is also a great picnic spot.
The Loess Hills Scenic Byways are 200 miles of paved highway where you can see wildlife, prairie plants and hills.
Lewis and Clark State Park is located at Blue Lake, west on Onawa. A great place for boating or learning a little bit of history.
Towels and bedding and plates/ glasses/ silverware is provided. Please bring food and supplies for your stay. Grocery store in Onawa 12 miles away or a small gas station is located in town.
