Come #sleepwiththecows at New Day Dairy GuestBarn

New Adventures. Authentic Cows. Comfy Beds.

A One-of-a-Kind Bed and Breakfast Experience located in the heart of Northern Iowa. Stay at New Day Dairy GuestBarn, our working family dairy farm with 24/7 views of 150 cows enjoying life in our barn through two large loft windows in the common loft area.

We provide everything you need for a DIY Continental Breakfast, while you’re cow gazing. And every stay comes with a ½-hour Introductory Tour and ½-hour Farewell Tour in the Barn! You can pet a cow, grab a cow selfie, and ask all your questions!

** Please note that due to COVID-19 until December 31st, 2020 we will only be renting the GuestBarn as an entire unit to help ensure our guests safety, well-being, and ability to social distance properly. **

Bringing Your Family? Rent the Entire GuestBarn!

We love kids (we have 3 ourselves!). Kids love to explore & ask questions (perfect reasons to visit!). They need space to play, holler, wake up, and move. If you’re traveling with kids under 12 we require you to have the GuestBarn all to yourself!
