Cheri

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Walking in the door to the sound of a voice calling out "Cheri is that you?" set the tone for what proved to be a most pleasant stay. Brenda has put her heart and soul into this BnB and it shows in every way. Breakfast was a full, delicious buffet, the room was so comfortable I was asleep in minutes, and the menagerie of critters is a real treat. Brenda makes everyone feel comfortable and genuinely cares about ensuring they have a terrific experience. I'd return to Iowa just to stay here... don't need any other reason.

It was a perfect place for us to stay overnight. Brenda was extremely accommodating, kind, and interesting. The rooms are all spotless and attractive. The breakfast was wonderful - "homemade" and individualized. The internet was perfect. The rooms, of various sizes, are all on the second floor with no elevator which may be inconvenient for some. This is a place where people return and Brenda becomes "like family."

Animal farm !!
Brenda was an excellent hostess. The breakfasts were superb. The location was convenient to other places we were going to visit while staying at the B&B. Brenda recommended a place to go for dinner and that food was great and the location only a short drive away. We really enjoyed the animals Brenda has.
