Lots of fun things to do within 20 minutes or so of the guest barn, we hit up a couple splash pads, swam at a lake and Kid’s Kingdom Park. A little farther out we stopped at Prairie Fossil Park and the Spillway in Hampton Iowa. ~ Angie B. ~ Des Moines, Iowa
During our stay we picked apples at the girlhood home of Carrie Chapman Catt and walked along the beautiful riverwalk in Charles City, both a short drive from the Guest Barn. ~ Sheryl, Ames, Iowa
The gravel road biking was fantastic for the adults and we enjoyed our family bike ride on the rails-to-trails path (an easy ride from the farm to the trail) as well. ~ Jessica, Madison, Wisconsin
