The Barn House is a unique and beautiful home that was once truly a barn. In 2001 it was transformed to become something quite magical, and it is now a treasured country experience made available to you. 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!
