Weekend Trip to Lucky Star Farm
Such a beautiful place! The camper was perfect for our weekend in Iowa City, and the farm setting was more amazing than we imagined. Susan was a great host, and everything was just as we had hoped. We’ll be back!

1 night at Lucky Star Farm
Susan greeted us outside the camper when we arrived & we instantly felt at home. She has such a lovely presence & Lucky Star Farm is truly magical! Their vintage camper, “Betty” is adorable, meticulously clean, & thoughtfully stocked. We were quickly greeted by several resident barn cats & could see llamas, goats, & sheep from our little patio. We loved everything about our stay & definitely plan to visit again with our kids! Thank you so much, Susan & Rich! Hope to see you again soon!

I highly suggest booking ahead of time so the check in process goes smoothly. But overall the campground was nice quality, quiet, and had a lot of kid activity options like playgrounds and play structures. We stayed in the cabins, but the tv spaces were nice and spaced out and saw lots of land for camping. The staff was helpful in ensuring the guest experience went well.

Weekend Trip to Beyonder Getaway at Lazy Acres
It’s a very nice campground. I was supposed to get one for the cabins but a mistake was made and my cabin given away. The staff was very nice and they upgraded me to the house that’s on the grounds. The house was nice and clean but I missed having the experience of the cabins is booked. Also, the WiFi would not connect to the TVs in the house. The owner did call me personally to check on my stay the next day which was a nice, personal touch.

My daughter and I stayed in the Oh Betty camper and it was such a great time! Although it looks small from the outside it is actually quite spacious inside, with all of the amenities you need including a flush toilet and a space heater for those chilly evenings. Susan was such a wonderful host, you can tell she is really passionate about what she does and it shines through in her attention to detail. She took the time to let us play with the goats and also explained a bit about all of the animals, which my daughter loved. Goat yoga was so much fun and the teacher created a welcoming environment for all ages, bodies, and abilities. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique weekend getaway, Lucky Star Farm is so peaceful and a great way to reset!

Weekend Trip to Folk School Farm Stay
I had an amazing stay in the Indigo Pod on Anna’s property! It was a perfect place for a reset after the busy holiday season. It was quiet, comfortable and relaxing with no distractions. I was able to journal and catch up on some reading during my stay. The supply of hot tea and kettle were a lovely touch. I enjoyed a cup as I watched the fog roll over the Iowa farm fields in the mornings. There is also a community kitchen where I could prepare nutritious meals instead of getting take out. Being able to roam the property and be in nature also helped with my holiday reset! I highly recommend Anna’s place to anyone wanting time away to refocus and relax. It has everything you need without the distraction!
