My wife and I chose this gorgeous spot to spend our 12th wedding anniversary. At first we thought to ourselves “is it safe for a lesbian couple to spend their anniversary, six hours away from Sioux Falls…in eastern Iowa…a place we have never been?”…but after reading reviews , we went for it and were so so happy we did.
First and foremost, Jessica was an amazing host! She was so welcoming and equally brilliant (do yourself a favor and take her classes, we learned so much in just one day about running a homestead) . She welcomed us with champagne soap that she made to celebrate our anniversay and offered To make us tea! Her property was gorgeous and also a product of her family’s incredibly hard work . They have built something so unique and needed in this world.
My wife and I felt so welcomed and loved on! We explored the adorable town and talked to Jessica frequently (she is absolutely an artist and caretaker) . We were also given all the privacy we needed.
The bed in the bunkie was incredibly comfortable and waking up to the sounds of nature and fresh air was rejuvenating.
Stay here, it’s incredible!

A cozy place to stay the night! Jessica was a wonderful host. We enjoyed our stay and got some of Jessica’s herbal infused goat milk soap and locally made sausage. I’d definitely visit again 😊

We loved camping here! Wonderful hilltop spot with an overlook view. We also loved getting to see the chickens and baby chicks. Jessica was so kind and hospitable. We can't wait to come back!

Nice stay! Love the view looking over the church and the town. Had a great time watching the birds and 5 little chicks. So cute. The bunkie is beautiful and the bed is so comfortable. I will definitely come again. The drive nearby is so beautiful!

Staying on Jessica’s land was one of the single best getaways either I or my partner have had in recent memory! We initially took a trip away from home to alleviate burn out early in the working year and returned home even more refreshed than anticipated.
The Bunkie was perfectly cozy for me, my partner, and our pup. The view was rejuvenating, and we had access to whatever we needed to keep comfortable. We did a lot of reading and board games when inside, and did our cooking on one of the many fire pits outdoors.
Jessica has a wealth of knowledge and earnest love for the land she stewards, and we had a great time learning about the local flora and fauna. She kindly walked us through foraging, apothecary processes, artisanal soap-making, and her husband taught us how to keep our knives razor sharp. Beyond the knowledge we were gifted, we made sure to also leave with a lot of amazing smelling soap and bath salts.
Outside of the space, there’s a lot of beautiful and reasonably accessible hiking in the vicinity. If you’re not one for cooking each night, there’s also a number of good spots in town to get some coffee/tea, food, and beer.
We’re excited to tell everyone back home about the beautiful time we had, and we’re hoping to come back soon to see how the space is during other seasons. Thank you so much, Jessica!

Wonderful place with a fantastic host. Made me and my pup feel so welcome, next level soaps, and a pet skunk!! Got to take a soap making class and learned so much! Very peaceful atmosphere with good vibes.
