The property was absolutely beautiful! Such an amazing place! Brian the owner of the farmhouse went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay, and will be letting friends know of this wonderful experience! Thanks so much Brian for making us feel at home :)

This was one of my very best one on Monday patients with my fiance. It was more than a home away from home. The views were spectacular, sunset and sunrise. We really enjoyed the pond. I paddle boarded while he fished and we just felt so relaxed. It was a great location close to town, wineries, and the river. I absolutely recommend staying!

This was a wonderfully renovated old farm house. The antiques that were used in the decor told quite a story of farm history. The house was clean and comfortable. My teens enjoyed exploring down by the ponds and taking photos of the horses and chickens that where in the area. The property was within driving distance to Dubuque, Pikes Peak, and Prairie Du Chien. A great, comfortable place to stay to visit the picturesque Iowa countryside.

Family Getaway
The prop was perfect for a family getaway. My adult children, mothe-in-law, and I stayed for a long weekend. The house was perfect for us. It is a beautifully restored stone house. The décor added to the charm of this home. It was close to many Mississippi River activities. There is also two ponds and a hiking trail. The family who owns the property are very friendly and accommodating. Also, theresident chickens are fun to watch.

My family and I enjoyed a three day stay at this historic home. It had plenty of farm themed charm and a neat property to explore. Our favorite parts were the wooded areas for hiking and the neat buildings and equipment onsite.

The Kann’s did a nice job renovating their family’s stone farmhouse keeping it’s century-old charm. It was interesting to read about the renovations and imagine living there without the modern amenities. The house was welcoming and comfortable. The kids enjoyed playing in the attic and barn. We also enjoyed walking around the property. There is beauty in the landscape of NE Iowa’s rolling fields and farms. In addition the farmhouse is close to a few state parks (great for hiking) and small Mississippi River towns.

This was a great place to get away from the city, and really fun for my children. There is a basketball hoop and ping-pong table in the barn they could use, a tether ball, a swing, and shuffleboard in the attic. Aside from that, everything was really clean, beds comfortable, well-stocked with hand soap and paper products. Owner was very responsive.

We live in Central Wisconsin and arranged to stay at this lovely property as a way to meet our daughter who lives in Des Moines. There is a great fire pit, but too windy to light a fire. We did sit with her out by the fire ring to share time together socially distanced due to COVID. When it rained, we sat inside the barn, which was clean and had comfortable chairs. It is set up for weddings and gatherings, so quite comfortable for visiting. The bed was so comfortable, kitchen was great for preparing food, living area had nice seating for reading in the evening, and the front porch had a wonderfully comfortable swing which we used and enjoyed. Dining room had a large table for families or groups. We would stay here again in a heartbeat, and Brian, the owner was very kind and responsive when we had questions. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely home! We hope to return! Kathleen & Brian
