We love animals, plants, art, and outdoor recreation and love sharing these things with people! We found the perfect little plot for all of these things we love. Nature, art, animals, and lots of space! The hilly, lush land is also known as the Bohemie Alps and it's quite a beautiful area tucked away in Iowa.
Visit with the llamas, goats, peacocks, potbelly pigs and the horses and hike around the property or stay in for a quiet stay with a good book and enjoy all the sights and sounds. Lots of extra 'add ons' to enhance the experience, like a waffle bar kit, smore's package, hikes, and more!
Semi wooded property with hiking trails, hammocks, aerial silks, campfire pit. 5 mi away is Otter Creek Lake, a recreational park for fishing, kayaking, swimming, etc. We have 2 kayaks available. So much to do! Also perfect to just relax, meditate, yoga, sleep...

We absolutely loved staying here. There are so many and different types of animals to feed and they were all friendly. Make sure to bring apples and lettuce! Our two young girls spent a lot of time petting and feeding them. We stayed in the hobbit hole and the yurt. Both were amazing! The hobbit hole was very cozy and rustic while the yurt was a little more spacious and modern. It was the perfect place for a getaway with scenic hills and views. Highly recommend!

This location was so fun and unique! I visited as a solo traveler for a quick getaway and it didn't disappoint. I only stayed one night but loved exploring, saying hello to the animals the next morning and most importantly, relaxing! Can't wait to bring my kids back this summer!!

This yurt is beautiful, the landscape is beautiful and peaceful. Truly we had a great stay!
If you’re not physically capable of much walking, I would stay in the other yurt since this one is quite a bit of a walk from the parking and pretty far from the bathroom. I’m not a fan of porta potties, especially since it was so cold out, but it’s great that it was there for emergencies. The main bathroom needs a curtain, to me it’s very strange that there isn’t one.
If you’re coming in the winter, bring really warm and thick socks, and big thick blankets. Yes the yurt is heated but not very well. I wish I had brought another thick blanket for the floor as they are very very chilly. Our nights were below zero, I think if the temps were around 20’s and 30’s overnight it wouldn’t have been bad at all.
We did have a little mouse thief, which is to be expected in this sort of setting, but just a note to put your bread in a better spot than I did. The yurt does have a tv, which I wasn’t expecting but it was pleasant to stay in and watch movies since we couldn’t really do much outside. The couch is comfy! My only real complaints are that the bathrooms are so far away, and that the bunk bed blocked the star gazing at night. If we come back, I will rent the other since the queen armadillo bunk bed blocks the view. Hosts were wonderful, didn’t bother us at all but were responsive when needed.

This is our second time staying here. We stood in the armadillo yurt and it was do beautiful and had everything you needed and more. We loved being able to bring our dog and enjoyed all the trails. We fed the animals. Loved hearing the Peacocks. We got the waffle bar and it was delicious. Such a neat place and the hosts are great. Will be back.

My husband and I LOVED our stay in the Hobbit hole! It was the perfect nature retreat and we felt super cozy despite the chilly December weather. The city had to cut the power at 8am the morning of our check-out, but Jess & Jim made sure we got our waffle kit by bringing a generator right to our door so we could power up the waffle iron. They are wonderful hosts who care deeply for their land, their animals, and those who come to get away. We can't wait to come back :)

It’s a beautiful space, even - or especially- after leaf fall. In a valley with a mix of woods, shrubs, and meadows, and some wooded hills. The barnyard has the noisiest, most active and spirited farm animals I’ve ever seen. Sometimes the horses roam the grounds freely and approach you for treats. At sunset, the hills of surrounding properties are glowing yellow. Jess has created random, whimsical spaces all over the property that make it feel like an enchanted fairy forest.

Highly recommend!! As Tolkien fans this was super fun! A perfect one-night stopover on a Thanksgiving trip. The Hobbit House was very cute and cozy. We enjoyed walking the trails, sitting by a campfire viewing stars, and just relaxing. There is a teeny kitchen set up for simple food prep. We cooked soup for dinner in the microwave and brought our own coffee, tea, and muffins for breakfast.
*Be sure to note the bathroom situation - currently about 100 yards to a (very clean!) porta-potty and a couple min walk down hill to a fully plumbed bathroom. The shower is outdoors - walls but no roof. So, like a campground. So if that kind of set-up does not work for your own situation then this may not be a great fit. (We knew this going in and was fine for us.)
We would definitely consider staying again and enjoying one of the yurts or cabins if passing this way again.

Queen Armadillo yurt was magical! We arrived when it was dark and had a little trouble finding our spot since it was back a little farther but the owner helped us with directions. Once we walked into the yurt and turned on the lights, we were all so impressed with how warm and cozy it felt. We enjoyed the firepit and the super cool hammock net that is installed just outside the yurt. In the morning, we walked around the trails a little bit and then the waffle bar was delivered which was really fun. Feeding the animals was our favorite part. The ducks went absolutely bonkers for the grapes and made us light so hard. The horses and alpacas were total sweeties. One of our most favorite family getaways ever and we will come back to stay again this spring!
