The Barn House is a unique and beautiful home that was once truly a barn.

Whether you are a group of two or many...family, group of friends, business group, retreats..the Barn House provides an opportunity for an experience instead of merely an event. The beauty of country will surround you inside and out, with views that hold their own magic with each season, and the interior of the barn with it's wood, stone and stained glass, will leave you in awe as you explore all it offers.

When you rent the Barn House, it is fully furnished with all you probably will need, and if something additional is needed, we will do our best in the tradition of country hospitality, to accommodate you...and to make your stay a treasured memory.

Whether you plan to visit the many attractions in the area...the 26 mile Heritage Trail hiking an biking trail, historic Dubuque, the wineries, the Field of Dreams, the Riverboat Museum, Galena, ski at Sundown, or you plan to just enjoy the peacefulness and serenity of the country, the Barn House will meet your needs.

It isn't possible in words or pictures to fully capture the beauty of the Barn House and the country surroundings -- you must experience it yourself. You will then know why...heaven and earth do meet at the Barn House.

We love the barn!
This was a perfect landing spot for my four siblings and our spouses. Tons of space to spread out, a great fireplace, and the best kitchen we’ve seen for a large group. We hope to visit again.

Family getaway
We had a great time at the Barn House, we especially enjoyed the big screened-in porch. The views from every window in the house were spectacular, even though we were a little early to see the peak fall colors. We played board games on the huge dinning room table and started a puzzle on the small table next to it. I would highly recommend the Barn House for your next Iowa getaway. The warm cinnamon rolls delivered Sunday morning were a tasty surprise, Thanks.

Perfect relaxation
Our group came here to relax for a few days at the end of our vacation and it was just what we needed. We were lucky enough to have nice weather so we were able to enjoy the large yard playing bags and horseshoes and it had enough room for the kids to run wild and burn off all their energy. The views across the field in the morning when the sun is coming up is magical. It's the perfect time to read a good book on the porch with a nice cup of coffee. The property was well stocked with anything you could need but close enough to town if you forgot something while still having that out in the middle of nowhere vibe. Close to field of dreams for a little sightseeing. The host even brough freahly baked cinnamon rolls before we checked out which was a nice touch. Highly recommended booking this rental. You will not be disappointed.

Enjoyable Family Time
We enjoyed our stay at the Barn House! It was great to have such a large place to accommodate our large extended family. We had 21 family members come together for a getaway, and there was room for everyone! Kitchen was well supplied with items that we needed and although the commercial stove/oven is not completely functioning currently, we were still able to make the meals we had planned because of an additional stove/oven that was available for use. We appreciated the hosts checking in on us to make sure we had all of our needs met, and we especially appreciated the fresh cinnamon rolls delivered check-out morning!

Great place for a family reunion!
This Barn House was a great place to give my family a taste of Iowa! There were plenty of places to sleep, sit and eat, and spread out throughout the property. With 25 people, we didn’t feel cramped at all. There were plenty of dishes, but if you have young children and don’t want to worry about breaking anything, I’d recommend bringing paper plates and cups as there was no plastic ware. The kids really loved the garage area with the ping pong table and skee-ball and there was plenty of space to store our bicycles in the garage, too. I was a little worried it might get hot and stuffy with all the windows and so many people, but the A/C worked well and we were very comfortable. The host was really nice and personable and made our stay very enjoyable. Thanks Gerarda!

Great escape
This is our second time staying at the Barnhouse with friends and family. Both times we had wonderful experiences; it is a true escape property equipped with great amenities to entertain children and adults. We loved cooking in using the kitchen and the kids enjoyed the game room and fireplace. I highly recommend!

Great place to celebrate Thanksgiving together!
There were only 12 of us in a barn/house that sleeps 20 plus. We had plenty of space and bathrooms. Additionally, there were two separate family rooms, each with a TV, so those who needed to watch football - vocally - could without disturbing those who did not want to watch football! The views around the barn/house were gorgeous. It had everything we needed including a table that all 12 of us could sit around.
