B&B a Iowa orientale

“The Parker family was very accommodating, friendly and welcoming. Beautiful home with much history. Will stay again!”

“Great place!!”

“Our second time staying here. Lovely historical building. Delicious breakfast before exploring the Amana Colonies. ”

“Amazing antiques & flowers all around mansion & carriage house. They are still working on completing the renovations which was good for us because we got to go thru all the rooms & see all the furnishings. When we arrived Expedia hadn't notified staff (Dave & Pete) that we were coming but we had made reservations within an hour-ish before. So, our room hadn't been cleaned. We went to dinner & came back to a clean room. We really didn't like the shower, the curtain sticks to your body no matter...

“Very impressive property with lots of character and spaces for people to have small conversations and large alike!”

“Loved the house and the surroundings. The hostess was so personable and friendly. ”

“David and Inez rock! They are absolutely the finest 2 individuals my wife and I have ever met. We really enjoyed our engaging converstions with them every day we stayed at the Squirrel's Nest. Their home became ours and we were treated with kindness, grace and a really nice time that will never be forgotten! Jeaneen and I will never be able to thank you two enough for the most wonderful time we spent with you guys!”

“Charming farmhouse, hosts were incredibly welcoming and nice. Breakfast was a 10 out of 10. Hosts Carl and Mary joined us for breakfast and shared local history, the best part of Bed and Breakfast traveling.”

“Felt like staying at a family home. ”

“Lily Pad #1 was impressive. The revitalization of the space was very tastefully done. It created a spark to do the same for several of the other structures in the area that just need a lift up. Some more than others, but they are ALL worth saving! The area could have so much potential! I just wish I were younger to take on some of the projects myself! I digress...Lily Pad 1 was very comfortable and the communication with the owner was great. The only thing that may be a deterrent for some is...

“We stayed in the 3rd floor penthouse, which had an amazing view of the river and was a great fit for our family of 4. David and Inez were such sweet hosts, cooked incredible breakfasts each morning, and truly made us feel like we were staying with friends.”
