The original front rooms of the house were built in 1936 by my husband's great-grandparents. Since it was built, it has been a place of rest for individuals and groups.
Our goal is to be an eco and family-friendly place to stay!
The house is over 3000 square feet of space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house has been intentionally designed with plenty of space for individual and group activities. There are lots of places to find space for solitude, but also large spaces to gather as a group.
The house is on a one-acre property in a rural area. In spring, the property bursts into bloom with irises, daffodils, and peonies originally planted by my husband's grandparents. In the summer, you will find yourself surrounded by corn fields or soybean fields (depending on crop rotation). If you take a morning walk, you will often pass pastured cattle. In fall, the surrounding woods are filled with gorgeous foliage. In winter, the house is the perfect place to relax with those you love!
Details about the space you will be staying in:
Kitchen:
We love to cook and the kitchen reflects that! It is a fully stocked kitchen (we've cooked meals for twenty people using the kitchen!).
Dining Spaces
There is a formal dining room, a table in the kitchen, and a third table in the sunroom.
Living Spaces
There is a formal front living room, an informal television room, and a large sunroom that has gathering space. There is also an upstairs gathering area with an outdoor deck. The sun porch also has an area with toys for children.
Bedrooms

Bathrooms
There is an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and a central bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

Several areas in the house are convenient and comfortable for remote work. There is a designated desk area in the formal living room that includes a power strip and an additional monitor.

There is a spacious laundry room with a modern washing machine, dryer, and basic cleaning supplies.
Family-friendly
We have the following to help make a stay with families as easy as possible: baby bathtub, crib with sheets, pack n play with sheets, stroller, toddler toilet, kids dishes/silverware, high chair, changing table, bottle drying rack, toys, and children's books. These are always available at the property.

Things to Note:
This is a rural home in the middle of a cornfield. The house has many antiques and original elements dating back to the 1930s. Because of this, there may be natural wear and patina to parts of the house and furniture. The rural setting is gorgeous and while every effort will be made to keep little critters and dust away, we cannot guarantee that you won't experience all of the joys of rural living.
If you do have any issues, please let us know and we will do everything we can to remedy any problems you have! We want your rural stay to be relaxing and amazing!
Property Access
You will access the house via a lockbox that holds the keys.
You will have access to the entire house, but please do not use the storage closet or the attic space. We are working on making these inaccessible to guests, but in the meantime, please do not use them.
You will not have access to the garage, but you can park your car under the roofed carport if you prefer a covered location.
You can use the one-acre property, but please do not use the other surrounding properties. If you would like hunting or hiking recommendations in the area, let us know!
There is a woodworking shop on the property that you will not have access to. It is not attached to the house. We might have a relative who works in there during your stay, but they will not impact your stay in any way!
Things to do:
We lived in the area for a long time (my husband grew up in the house!), so we have a lot of connections we'd love to share. If you are looking for something particular, just reach out!
Additionally, if you are planning any kind of retreat at our house or need group activities, we have connections that could help you. We know people who run cooking retreats, fiber art retreats, spiritual retreats, and yoga retreats. We'd be glad to help you create an amazing experience for your friends and family!
It is possible to stay in the house on one floor and there is a walk-in shower with no steps. If you need a place that is accessible with no stairs, please message us and we can give you more details about how accessible the house is.
