    HJ is the Farm House welcoming dog. Here, he is with two of several of the farms animals. These ducks love to chase HJ around the farm and pretend that their dogs too!

    The Farm House was built at the turn of the century with the architectural styling of the late Victorian period. The Farm House B&B has been restored for comfort, relaxation, and casual enjoyment. You will be staying on a real working farm with dairy cattle, goats, chickens, peacocks, llamas, Jacob sheep, cats and a dog named HJ. Walking, running or biking on the 4 mile nature trail, feeding baby calves, gathering chicken eggs, fishing in the farm pond, viewing the newly planted vineyard and shopping in the wine and antique shop in a remodeled machine shed are all part of the Farm House experience. The Farm House Breakfast offers a full-course farmer’s breakfast with locally grown products. All guest rooms are decorated differently to reflect the owners’ eclectic interests and feature private baths, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, air conditioning, individual heating controls and queen and king-size beds. Two suites are available each with a Jacuzzi, deck and other personal amenities.

    Great Getaway

    April 17, 2013

    We had an absolutely wonderful weekend on the farm. The room was great, the amenities better, and the breakfast was the best. We really enjoyed the fridge in our room with drinks, the homemade cookies and fruit to welcome us, the jacuzzi on the deck and the king sized bed was so comfortable. Had a great time saturday at the winery and walking through the vineyards and around the pond. We plan to visit again soon and bring our friends and get gift certificates for family.

    April 14, 2013

    Needed a weekend away so came back for our third stay here. It gets better every time. Loren and Diana are so welcoming and HJ made us feel at home. We will see you all when we come back in September.

    Iowa snow storm!

    February 01, 2013

    I found myself stranded in a snow storm with nowhere to stay. Did a search and found this delightful bed and breakfast. They allowed me to stay and sleep for the day without a reservation. Nice owners and a great room.

    First Timers

    November 15, 2012

    This was our first time staying at a B&B; we were a little nervous. Loren and Dianna and their dog "H" are wonderful hosts. We helped at the winery...corking bottles...very fun experience. The food was fantastic! Our room was definitely nicer than some nice hotels that we've stayed at. We hope to return again next year.
