You found the right place!
Xene and Bob are masters of hospitality! Watch out: you may never want to leave. They put together delicious homemade meals for me and the other guests in the beautiful outdoor oven they built — stuffed peppers with salsa with ingredients from their garden, and the next night, watermelon and veggie lasagna with foraged mushrooms and more garden pickings! Sooo tasty.
Also: you can GO INSIDE the various buildings and structures. There’s so much to see, and you’re welcome to wander as you please. Be sure to ask Bob for a tour of the barn he built and the artifacts he found excavating. Amazing!
And if this isn’t enough, you can take an art class in the art barn, get your hair braided, collect some fresh farm eggs, borrow one of their bikes, take the trail behind the property all the way to Wapsipinicon State Park trails… they have it all!

We loved how eclectic and unique the property was. The Teepee was comfortable and spacious. The hospitality matched the properties communal feel, in heart and imagination. Home cooked meals and great conversations with the hosts and other guests were a delightful surprise.

Peaceful
Upon arrival, you will be so warmly welcomed! The hosts were very nice, fun and emitted a sense of peace that could be felt. It was nice hanging with them and other guests around their outdoor kitchen. If you are there to have alone time, there is also plenty of that at your site. I loved walking in the woods and the state park is right there if you want more things to do. They were so genuinely nice, thoughtful and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay. I will definitely be back for the much needed relaxation.

Amazing Hidden Gem!
We were on a quick cross country trek and looking for a unique place to stay and this was truly a hidden gem!! Bob and Xene have an amazing property and I only wish we had more than one night there. If you find yourself in Iowa looking for a place to stay with some amazing people who will give you a unique experience in a gorgeous set of land then this is your place. We fully intend to head back there and spend a few days there!!!

A hidden gem of magic!
Can’t thank Bob enough for his hospitality and for sharing his story and creations with us! I brought my 9 year old son along for a spontaneous one night getaway. Short but so sweet! Bobs collection of art spoke to our hearts, we never stopped smiling. Between great conversation with Bob and learning of his story, the wonderful collection of magic he has created and shares with the world, and the splendor of views! Simply the best. Thank you Bob! We anxiously await our return!
