Sleep in a Transformed Rural Grain Bin When You Book a Stay in This Small-Town Airbnb in Iowa

The small towns around Iowa are amazing for a road trip, but if you really want to get away from it all, there's nothing like a rural Airbnb in Iowa. Whether you're from the crowded hubs of Des Moines or Iowa City, or from a smaller town like Decorah, waking up on an Iowa farmstay still feels like a whole other world. And in terms of truly feeling a million miles away, it doesn't get better than one of Iowa's iconic converted gain bins. We found one of the newer ones in the tiny town of Saint Olaf, population 106. Located on Wold Farm, the Bright & Breezy Grain Bin Getaway is an incredibly beautiful escape suitable for up to three guests, and it offers one of the best views in the Hawkeye State.

Iowa grain bins are a common sight as you head through the rural parts of the state but it's pretty rare to be able to sleep in one.

Located on Wold Farm, in a rural area of the state surrounded by gravel roads without a stoplight in sight, this loft-style glamping experience is truly for nature-lovers. While it might look like an old-school place, it is fully equipped with air conditioning and high-speed Wi-Fi. While there's no TV, you can stream on your own devices if you like.

A small kitchenette has been built into the grain bin, equipped with a toaster, microwave, fridge, and a coffee maker. The grain bin also sleeps three, including two in a queen bed in the loft and one on a floor mattress. This is an ideal place for a couple's retreat.

You'll wake up each morning to amazing views, and you're only a mile away from the Turkey River for fishing or floating. But that's just the start ... this is an amazing home base for exploring Iowa's most peaceful and charming area. Whether you get out and explore or you stay on the property to relax and unwind, this is a stay you won't soon forget.

You can book your own stay on the official Airbnb listing — there are still plenty of dates available. And while Saint Olaf might be a very sleepy place, you're only a short distance from one of our favorite small towns in Iowa — the culturally rich town of Elkader.
