As guest you will receive:

A night's stay for two with a full farm breakfast.
Loess Hills Publicity: a Scenic Byways pamphlet and map, and information on nearby touring opportunities.

During your stay you will have a chance to:

Enjoy antiques handed down through the family for 150 years; e.g. pump the player piano or listen to the Edison.
Sit on the front porch with morning coffee and listen to the birds sing, or sip a cup of tea and watch the sun set.
Tour, hike, or bike in the Hills. There is Loess Hills prairie right out the back door. You are welcome to hike on your own. If you desire a resident guide, we will join you.
Listen to the cacophony of the birds at dawn.
Find yourself surrounded by a night sky full of stars.
Celebrate a special occasion-- an anniversary or a birthday--with some reminiscing and claiming promises for the future.
When the occasion arises we join our guests in recovering the lost art of conversation. We always find this genuinely rewarding.
Some city dwellers have claimed it's so quiet they have difficulty getting to sleep!
Inquire about a Gift Certificate for a special occasion-wedding, anniversary, birthday, retirement.

The house is a smoke-free environment. Our pets stay outside.

Weekend Stays

Plan to bring a group for the weekend. Inquire about a discount on group rates. Check the Annual Events to determine which weekend you would prefer to reserve.

Midweek Stays

Away from home on mid week business? Weary of the impersonal look-alike motel room? There is in-room telephone access and space to work on your computer, and DSL airport. We can accommodate State employees at your State rate.

As society at large continues it's hectic, high-tech pace, the discerning traveler will continue to seek the intimacy and careful attention that is the hallmark of the Bed and Breakfast.
