    This is so much more than a simple bed and breakfast. Starting with the lovingly decorated suite of rooms and ending with what seems like an entire state park right at your door. On our too short, 3-day weekend there really was no reason to even leave. Room-service breakfasts were tasty and so abundant there was no need for lunch. (And the wonderful, homemade cookies filled in the gap before dinner.) We had a great dinner in our suite the night of our arrival and the second night went to the famous Rubes Steakhouse. (Which is almost reason enough to visit Marshalltown. What fun!) Days started with lazy breakfasts, tea, birdwatching, then long hikes through the meadows and woods, over the cricks and down to the Iowa River on the well maintained trails, a soak in the hot tub, out for dinner and then back "home" to play cards or simply talk before falling into the comfy bed. The B & B seems to have many amenities, many of which we didn't have time to take advantage of. We loved all the books (birds and trees) to answer all our questions about what we'd seen out in the woods that day. The kitchenette was great. We could make a cup of tea (or coffee, as you wish) whenever you like and keep a bottle of wine in the refrigerator. This seemed more like a cozy cabin in the woods with room service than a B & B to me. Janey and Tom were warm, wonderful hosts, able to answer all our questions, but never invasive. They certainly have a place worth returning to.
