Beautiful property with great amenities and excellent hosts. Stopped through on our travels from Indiana to the Black Hills and beyond. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Gretta for everything.

Greta is amazingly sweet to work with, and very laid back allowing you to just do your thing, but helpful and easily accessible.
The dormitories are basic, but clean and met our needs. They were also air conditioned, which was an added surprise!
You have two modern single shower bathrooms, so if the dorms are heavily occupied then juggling showers and hot water can be a bit tricky.
The upstairs of the barn offered a large family room where we played board games and a shared kitchen we could use.
The weekend we stayed there was a community outdoor concert on their property, with a food truck, which was added fun for the family.
They have a beautiful property with lots of room to run and play a pickup football game. Their land touches two parks, the city park with playground and basketball courts are on one side, and a public fishing lake on the other side.
We wanted to do quite a bit of fishing. Just across the street was a park with a lake and kayak rental. The park is kind of small, and not "foresty", it is literally located in the middle of a flat cornfield. But the fishing was excellent. A great place to take your kids for a guaranteed catch- the water is exceptionally clear and you can see the fish right from the dock!
The better park is located in Colo, about 10-15 min drive. Included a beach, boat ramps, shelters, a walking trail that looped the lake. A really beautifully kept place to spend the day. Highly recommend.
Overall our barn stay was fun and relaxing!

This was the most beautiful place we have stayed at to date. The hosts are so warming and lovely and the site itself is more than we could have asked for. Thanks TLC for giving us a nice home for a couple of nights and for being a genuinely caring organization that takes care of the community and the children.

I loved the tent camping at Greta’s place. What a find! Such a great place to relax and let the world spin for a few days. Can’t wait for my next trip to Iowa so I can stay again.
