Located on a 20-acre stretch of land between Iowa City and Kalona, Lucky Star Farm is a working farm raising dairy goats, llamas, chickens, turkeys & ducks. We are dedicated to sharing local food, education and lodging with the community. Come visit our diverse, sustainable and entertaining farm!
The farm is full of outdoor opportunities. Guests can stroll over to the pond and swim, explore, or relax on the sandy beach and dock. Guests are also welcome to fish (catch and release) or use the stand-up paddleboard (lifejackets provided). There is a fire pit, complimentary firewood, and roasting sticks for your use. At the barn you can visit the goats and see their kids playing in the spring. There is a half mile trail around the property that takes you past the restored prairie and llama pasture. Guests can see what's growing in the edible forest and circle through the mandala garden. Visit the chicken coop and see how farm fresh eggs are made!Betty, our vintage 1968 camper, is located a short walk from our gravel parking area located on our bucolic Iowa farm. The hosts live and work on the property and there could be other guests in the nearby Airbnb.
Campers have a semi-private patio with a space to relax and enjoy the scenery and a Solo stove. There is a flush toilet in Betty with cold running water. As a guest, you have access to a shower in the public bathroom. It has a locking door and is handicap accessible. The water is potable and there is a Brita pitcher in the mini fridge in the kitchenette.
