Come enjoy the natural beauty of a working farm!

The farm is also home to a flower cutting garden, a food forest garden, and a folk school. Guests are welcome to cut flowers for a donation, and enjoy the sheep, chickens and resident cat. The setting is also great for taking in sunrises, sunsets and star gazing. Come explore the landscape, book a farm tour or enjoy some studio space at Land Alliance Folk School.

Garden Shed Farm Stay
Peace & Quiet
A true farm setting in amid beautiful corn fields. We stayed in the Shed as we have two times before. The Shed was a comfortable place to set up our sleeping bags. We travel with a couple of tent options and since we were spending only night, we set up our two-person backpacking tent in the Shed to ward off the mosquitoes. Anna and Dave are wonderful hosts and gave us plenty of privacy. Restrooms and showers were close by. We keep returning here for for the peace and quiet. Staying here is pure relaxation. You just want to hang out and soak up the serenity. We will return.

Garden Shed Farm Stay
A Wonderful Farm Stay!
Anna's property and the garden shed was the perfect place for our family to stay while exploring the area. They have turned their property into a fun experience for travelers to explore and have a unique stay. We slept wonderfully in the garden sheds with our cots and blow up mattresses and awoke to a beautiful farm morning. The kids loved playing with the cat and checking out the sheep and cattle.

Calm
This is a beautiful working farm close to Iowa City, yet in a very peaceful, quiet area. We enjoyed waking up to the bleating of the sheep. There is a friendly cat, and the hosts are very welcoming. Will definitely stay here again! The indoor hot shower was also much appreciated after days on the road in our van!

Garden Shed Farm Stay
We had a short stay on Anna’s farm, she was very accommodating and helpful. We felt cozy even in a crazy thunderstorm. The shared bathrooms were clean and we didn’t have a chance to use the shared kitchen but it looked great as well with complimentary tea.

Farm Stay Tent Site
Unique camp site!
Easy to find, and access to Anna's dye studio (which housed the bathrooms and showers) was fascinating, as well as a comfortable place to get out of the heat. Anna was a great host - I enjoyed learning about her fiber art work. Private, quiet, and safe site.
