Site 7 - Rustic Tent camping
I loved this spot! So peaceful and private! She was very helpful and allowed me to pick a tent spot after showing the property! Would definitely stay here again

The Honeymoon
I stayed in the honeymoon and it was very pleasant! The AC worked super well, the property was pretty and I wish I could’ve stayed longer to explore!

Fantastic place! We will absolutely be back. The views were amazing, the cabin was perfect for what we needed.

The Loft
hidden gem in Menlo
I believe it is essential to first mention how great the AC was! It’s hard to find powerful AC when camping, but this place stayed cool enough for me to be able to sleep with a blanket! The grounds are GORGEOUS, and the fishing is incredible. Potable water is a bit far from the cabin, but still provided! I would stay here a million times over! The signs placed at the turn to get there made navigating super easy!

The Bunkhouse
Nice place
The bunkhouse was a little crowded for just one person so Linda suggested the "honeymoon" cabin. The bed was super comfy, cabin was clean and Linda was very helpful. It's a beautiful place, far enough from civilization to see millions of stars but close enough for needed necessities. Thank you for the respite!

Site 9 - Rustic Tent camping
quiet retreat
My family and I had an awesome experience at the ranch. Linda was a responsive and welcoming host. Our only disappointment was arriving late in the evening and needing to leave early the next day. This would have been a great place to unwind for several days. The sites were well-placed and offered sufficient space between each. The views of the countryside and the lake were superb. Restrooms weren't far away. The evening chorus of bullfrogs, crickets, an owl, and occasional coyotes in the distance was a welcome respite from driving all day. We look forward to staying again on our next time passing down I-80 in Iowa.
