Sunny Cottage: Fire pit, close to biking & walking trails and historic downtown.

Light and cozy home with smart grill, fire pit, near biking and hiking trails, kayaking, and several frisbee and golf courses, and much more!

Oskaloosa is home to Iowa’s Best Burger served at highly acclaimed Wood Iron Grill, set on one of our beautiful golf courses. Walk downtown, enjoy our family owned eateries, shops and coffee houses. Bike or jog on miles of trails surrounded by native prairie grasses and bubbling streams or tour the woolly mammoth museum and soon to be finished solar system walk about. You will be close to lakes, a winery & cheese factory. You will have full access to YMCA located within walking distance of this property. Kayak, bike & golf club/discs upon request.

With an active and talented chamber, historical society, arts and conservation board, Mahaska County is a gem for natural learning and adventure.

Bike Trails and Bike Rentals:
We have a wonderful 14 mile bike trail that goes all around Oskaloosa through restored prairies, woods, and farm fields and has a good variety of entry and exit points for most of us who may not have time for the whole route. Travel easy and rent a bike from Nostalgic Rides in Oskaloosa at 207 A Avenue East, right next to the well loved dutch bakery - Jaarsmas. At Nostalgic Rides, there are a few high demand experiences such as the Schwinn bicycle built for two and the adult Tricycle, so if those two would be a must for you, let us know and if they are available, we'll be sure to reserve them for you!

Outdoor Explorers and Nature Enthusiasts:
There are over 1700 acres of forests, wetlands, prairies and parks to explore in Mahaska County and 20 separate parks, river accesses and wildlife areas with over six miles of maintained trails cared for by our local conservation board, in addition to both Keomah State Park where there is at least 5 miles of hiking and Oskaloosa's 14 mile bike trail. Check out Mahaska County Conservation Board website or stop in at their beautiful education center, which houses all kinds of nature displays and live animals and not only offers weekly activities, but has a wonderful entry point for Oskaloosa's bike trail This center is conveniently located between the cabin and Oskaloosa (2342 Hwy 92, Oskaloosa), not far from our wonderful Stam's Greenhouse, mentioned somewhere in these details.
