Overall, unreal experience at n*Everland! Here’s a bit of a breakdown to convince more people to check out this awesome location.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the very friendly Bob, who showed us around the property, explained a bit about the history of the place, and walked us through the many campsites we could choose from. We chose a spot close to all the unique buildings. It was flat and large enough for our group of 6 to spread out. Our large yurt fit right in with the property! We spent our time there exploring the buildings, showering off in the solar shower, walking down to the river (one highlight for sure) and having the most amazing conversations with our lovely hosts. We purchased the pizza oven experience, expecting to fiddle with the process to create amateur pizzas, but were surprised with Xenes offer to graciously cook many different pizzas for us to try! It was the highlight of the trip for sure. Bob and Xenes other residents were also a treat to chat with. We engaged in amazing conversations, and the energy completely won us over. The drive to the Maquoketa caves was for sure worth it as well- super close by and an incredible experience! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful and incredibly fruitful experience. We hope to come back soon!
