About this property
Family Fun, Weddings, Hunting, Reunions, Country Retreats,
If you would like a quiet country setting then look no further. Bring your family or friends and enjoy a stay on the farm. This rental will sleep 14 comfortably. There is plenty of room inside and outside with parking for boats and campers, as well as one hookup for a camper. Even though this is not a working farm we do work with a local farmer for tours on their farm. Please let us know at time of reservation if that is something you are interested in. Need a place to hold your event? The BARN is ready!
If you are looking for a nice country setting to have a family reunion, special birthday party, work related events, class reunions or small weddings we have the facility to meet your needs. Please call 641-425-4282 for information. It will hold 75 to 85 people. We have the table, chairs, and linens. We have other decorating items you may use for a small fee.
Our home has all of the amenities you will need to enjoy with family and friends complete with a grill, firepit, soaking tubs, fireplaces and ping pong. My favorite spot outside is sitting around the firepit with a glass of wine or beer. How many of you like to look at the stars? We have the perfect spot to stargaze. The kids enjoy catching fire flies especially in June. If you are interested in day trips there is plenty to see and do in the area. Fishing, hiking, bike trail, swimming, hunting, snowmobiling and golfing to name a few. Pheasant hunting has become a great draw for our guests. We have guests from Alabama and South Carolina come every year in November just to hunt. You might even consider Deer Season which is the first part of December. While in town you will want to check out our Windsor Theater as well as the many small shops and restaurants. Check out Franklin County Tourism for events happening in the area during your stay.
If you are up for a longer day trip we are only 30 minutes from Clear Lake, 50 minutes from Ames and 1 hour from Waterloo. There are so many things to explore if you haven't been to North Central Iowa. The Grotto is one of my favorite at West Bend, Iowa. It is about an hour away. Let us know what your interests are and we can help with suggestions.
Our home was built in 1921 by our ancestors. Over the years we have updated and now it is a special place for families and friends to make memories. We hope you will decide to stay with us. You never know what you might find on the farm. Hope to see you soon!

What a beautiful house! We had a friend who was getting married in Hampton, and had a group from all around the US stay together in this house. Clean, aesthetic, spacious, beautiful, etc. I could go on. They have everything you need when it comes to cooking, and a lot of space for your own materials if you so choose to bring them. Donnis is a great host, and is available if you ever need them! Very very happy about our stay here.
There were 12 of us for our family weekend and not once did we feel cramped or on top of each other. All the couples had their own rooms and bathrooms as did the single kids. The house and property was beautiful and meticulously maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials and there were plenty of towels in all bathrooms along with large bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Donnis was very communicative and would reply quickly. Another perk was that it was dog friendly on the main level of the home and they were accommodating to us bringing three dogs. We look forward to coming back with the family again in the future. It was the perfect place for us to all gather!
House was very clean. It was exactly what our group needed with 6 bedrooms. Would be a great place for a family reunion as there is a lot of space outside to hang out. Would recommend.
Donnis is the most amazing hostess ever! There are no words that could ever describe her kindness & hospitality. We were coming thru with our family on our way to a close cousin's funeral and Donnis went out of her way to accommodate us. We could never thank her enough. The house was so clean & homey and had everything we needed for a good night's rest. We really enjoyed sitting outside watching the sunset and the millions of fireflies twinkling just above the grass while the children played in the yard after a long 12 hour day of driving!!
Very beautiful house lots of room and Nice and quiet in the beautiful country. Great place to have a family get-together or a weekend away with your kids
This was the second time we stayed at this house and had a family gathering there. We all grew up visiting our grandparents’ farm and staying here brings back wonderful memories. The house is clean and well appointed. We loved staying there!
We visited to have some down time. It was a great place to do that. We appreciated all the little details to make the stay comfortable. We were a small group. But it would be great for a large group/family.
The driveway and walkway were shoveled. Check-in was simple and easy. Plenty of room for everyone. The house was well stocked with towels, linens, and housewares. Every room had its own bathroom. We will definitely stay there again!
It was a beautiful house super roomy beds were great i can not say enough great things about the property and the owners super friendly and just made our trip even better i would recommend this to anyone .
Perfect farmhouse. The Barn and catering options were top drawer! I would give an 11 if I could. Only downside was the weather, which couldn’t be helped
Great place. House is perfect for larger groups. Great to each have bathrooms. Extra frig very helpful. Goats were a joy for kids to care for. Hosts brought us to a larger goat and chicken farm for kids to enjoy...thank you so much!

Relaxing, comfy, cozy
We had a family get together and the house was perfect! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, large kitchen. It was a little closer to the highway than I thought it would be, but the yard was big enough to set up the kids mini bouncy house and we had a fire in the fire pit. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
We stayed here so we could celebrate the holidays with family that lives nearby. We loved everything about this place. There was plenty of space. The home had several cozy places to relax and read. The home is very clean and all the details are taken care of. The home is beautifully decorated. The hosts were very kind and communicative. We highly recommend this home!
This was a great place for a quiet retreat! We had stormy weather, so we didn't get to use the fire pit as planned, or spend as much time outside, but it was spacious, comfortable, and perfect inside. The only downside was that the house has been smoked in at some point, so the lingering smell of smoke along with air fresheners was a bit strong at times.
