Cozy Up In This Charming Bed And Breakfast Housed In An Iowa Barn

In Northeast Iowa, a charming bed and breakfast welcomes travelers with a cozy rural experience that's unlike any other. The property includes two units - one is a cabin inspired by the Little House on the Prairie books of Laura Ingalls Wilder. The second unit is a barn made of timbers salvaged from a nearby barn and corn crib.

So why would someone want to spend the night in a pioneer cabin or a barn built of old timber?

Read on to find out.

The Little House on the Farm's cabin was built in 2009 on the foundation of a barn that was once here. From the outside it looks just like something out of Walnut Grove!

The Guest Barn also looks like it's always been here. It was actually constructed in 2012 with materials that were salvaged nearby and carefully moved here, piece by piece.

The units include modern conveniences like air conditioning and traditional touches, like handmade soap and comfy patchwork quilts.

The original barn held hay and dairy cows. The barn is just 700 square feet but it has an open concept design so it feels much larger.

The properties are open all year so they make a nice winter escape.

You can warm up by a relaxing fire on the coldest of days. Books, magazines, and games are provided.

There's no television in the guest barn, but there's always something good to watch outside.

Guests at the Little House on the Farm and Guest Barn can expect a home-cooked farm-fresh breakfast, nightly campfires, and plenty of rural Iowa beauty. The friendly farm dog "Rover" may greet you when you arrive.
