About this property

Uniquely renovated 4-bedroom barn with cozy charm and space

The Barn on M Avenue is a uniquely renovated 1920's barn in the heart of Grundy County Iowa. The barn is dual function in that it can serve as an event space or a place to stay. With just a 10 minute drive either way to the charming communities of Parkersburg and Grundy Center, and a quick 25 minute drive to historic Cedar Falls, you will have the benefit of the peaceful life on the farm, but still have close access to restaurants and shopping.

The space
Located on our 6 acre commercial goat farm, The Barn on M Avenue is the perfect place to gather your family or friends to relax or host an event!

With 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms (one up and one down), you can easily sleep 10-12 people, but we will allow up to 15 people to spend the night. On the main level there are 3 bedrooms. The first bedroom has a queen bed with an attached bunk room (full loft over a twin) which is perfect for kids! The second bedroom has a queen, a twin and a pullout futon (we have a foam mattress pad and bedding available for this). The third bedroom has a queen bed. Upstairs the 4th bedroom has a queen murphy bed. You will have access to the entire barn, including the event space. If you plan to stay AND host an event with more than 15 people, you must let us know, as there is an upcharge. The event space is on the second level of the barn and will hold up to 50 people. The event space boasts two 85" tv's and piano.

The first level of the barn is handicap accessible, the second level is not (however the stairs are very wide and it's easy to help someone up them.)

The barn has everything you would need for a fun stay with a group or a cozy night in as a couple. A brand new, fully stocked kitchen, a comfortable living space complete with a warm fireplace, a gym, and a ping pong table. New for Summer 2026.....we have added a deck, with patio furniture and a Blackstone Grill for your use!

Guest access
A code will be sent for entrance into the front door of the barn. You are welcome to park in the front or drive around the south side for more privacy. The south side entrance is on concrete and has more parking space.

Other things to note
The barn is a perfect place for family gatherings, parties or events. You are welcome to use the event space to host a larger group, but there is an upcharge for that. Please remember that only 15 people may spend the night and if you have more than 12 people, there is a small fee. Thank you for understanding.

For safety measures, we do have exterior cameras monitoring our property at all times

This was our first ever VRBO stay and it was great! The property was unique for us. It was a fun stay and a great way to start our family vacation and my wife's birthday! We had a great night and wish we would have planned ahead to stay longer! We surely overpacked for this VRBO, as the host had many thoughtful items, ready for us to use. Many chargers, outlets, fans, etc. AC was good for the Summer heat and the size of the property. We recommend this VRBO, but please leave some dates open, so we can stay again! Thank you again to the host(s). We greatly appreciated it!

Amy was the best host. This place was absolutely amazing for my family that needed to accomodate 15 and needed a large gathering space. Amy was very responsive and took care of us! Will certainly use again if we come back to Iowa! Thank you Amy!

I can’t express how much we loved this property. A beautiful renovation of a historic barn, and the setting was perfect. We lived in Iowa briefly many years ago, and this stay brought us right back “home”. Not being from Iowa originally -I think lowans take the amazing views of farmland and abundant nature for granted. Sitting on the new back deck in the early morning with a cup of coffee listening to the birds was heaven. The bonus of goats right next door made this city girl very happy. We can’t wait to come back and spend more than two nights. What a treasure!
