Beautiful grounds. Super clean and tastefully decorated. Nice touch of leaving a basket of snacks on the kitchen counter. I forgot my lunch bag in the fridge and was quickly contacted!

Perfect Getaway!

My husband and I were looking for a place a few hours from home for a weekend away. This was perfect! Quiet and relaxing- beautiful property! We went to Osceola for dinner at the Iron Horse, and back the next evening for live music and BBQ at Revelton. Would absolutely stay again!

Friends Hang-out

What a delightful place to stay! The four of us friends met to visit and play card games. The four beds made it perfect. There was a nice long table for games or crafting. The fireplace in the living room was warm and cozy and conducive for visiting.

Girls weekend!

Beautiful cottage. Worked out great for our girls weekend. Just wished we could have enjoyed the outside area but Iowa weather didn't cooperate. We have marked this location as one we will visit again.

Peaceful retreat

Very peaceful stay. Very quiet and relaxing. If you have a hectic and chaotic life like me, a couple night here seem to make it melt away with the pond and garden. Will very likely stay here again.

Great Stay

This stay was such a seamless process! Communication with the hostess was easy! The barn/cabin was perfect for our group. Beds were comfortable and the place was simply charming. Some holiday decor was still up and just added to the ambiance. We would come again when it’s warmer to enjoy the outdoor amenities. Close to Osceola and Indianola for more things to do. Great place to stay!!!

First time in Iowa

We booked this property for a nice, relaxing trip on our way across the country. It certainly delivered. We enjoyed sitting in the beautifully landscaped backyard and listening to the sounds of the countryside. The barn had everything we needed and more for our family of five.

Beautiful relaxing country stay

The barn was clean and beautiful. Very nicely decorated. I had everything I needed to make my meals. The clawfoot tub was amazing. Slept well as the bed I slept in was comfortable. I told my daughter I would love to bring her for a girls weekend! Definitely would return.

Amazing respite!

Just love staying here at the converted barn. The grounds are so peaceful. We always enjoy having a glass of wine around the fire pit while listening to the corn stalks rustle in evening breeze and the water trickling into the small pond. Property is always clean and the beds are very comfortable. Bring your camera because there are unlimited photo ops. Such a gorgeous setting.

Perfection!

The 4 of us loved staying here. From the decor to the comfort, the fireplace, the kitchen, comfortable beds, bedding and everything else. This host thought of everything. Kitchen was stocked with whatever we needed. We did all of the cooking as the 2 day blizzard raged outside. We had such a good time. Beautiful setting even though the snow covered most of it along with the -40 below windchill. The barn was so warm and comfy. The host couldnt have provided a better 3 night stay. Will recommend to everyone!

About the host

Hosted by Holly Bailey

Host profile image
Hello, we are Troy & Holly Bailey from New Virginia IA. We are transplants from Maryland that moved to this beautiful state in 2006. We dairy farmed in Maryland and moved to Iowa to partake in its more laid back, less crowded atmosphere and get our hands dirty with the rich black soil that covers the state.

Why they chose this property

We needed a place for family and friends to stay when they came to visit so we turned our barn into a rustic hideaway that we thought others would enjoy too. And they do. The only complaints we get from our guest is that they don't want to leave.

What makes this property unique

The landscaping is always changing here between a field full of soybeans or corn to the north, a pergola covered in blooming wisteria, or tulips everywhere in the spring. How about the smells of the lavender that draws the butterflies to its purple luster, and the birds always singing a song in the bushes and vines as they make their way to vibrant red birdboxes filled with chirping babies. The trees that shade you on a hot day as you relax in your chaise and catch an afternoon nap. Maybe you all but fell asleep while you take in all the sounds of the water trickling by from the waterfall . In the winter you can curl up by the fireplace with your cocoa, watch the sun rise while you sip your cup of joe, or watch the stars twinkle above your head as you gaze out the sky lights and remember what its like to relax and enjoy life.
We also have an additional Farmhouse that is on the property if you need more room to house guest. (This is also listed on vrbo)
If you are wanting to have a wedding or special event hosted here we have a beautiful 40x100 white 4 peak heated and cooled tent with cathedral windows, stained and finished concrete floors, power outlets throughout the tent ,natural handcrafted harvest tables, X back farm style chairs, chandeliers, and lots of other goody's. We also offer a separate caterer's building as well as separate bathrooms for your guest. Contact us for tent pricing.
