"Dan was super nice and accommodating. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel, look elsewhere. It you want a large, clean farmhouse, this place is for you. Being a working family farm, expect to see a tractor or two going in and out. We really enjoyed sitting on the wrap around porch with a book watching the cows. Lilly, the family's dog, was super friendly and may come to visit you. We will definitely go back!
Thanks again Dan!"

The system was down when I was checking in, but the staff handled the chaos with grace and quickly got me into my room. We were a large group and they were extremely friendly and accommodating.

It was a very quaint small town Inn. It reminded me of a Bed and Breakfast. Very comfortable room and nice Restraunts walking distance from the hotel.

Everything was in perfect order, the staff was friendly, and when we needed to check out earlier than planned, they were very accomodating. The desk clerk took care of everything just as promised. This took a little extra effort on her part since we had booked online. Very pleased.

We had a great stay here! My husband works from home and we requested early check-in so he could get to work as soon as we arrived. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The wifi was great and was a private network, so a great location to work remotely! The property was clean and new. The kitchen was great for cooking at home if desired. The beds were large and cozy. I almost passed this property up due to the pictures not truly showing how lovely this place is, but I promise, it is...

Staff was very helpful in grouping our family together. We especially enjoyed the use of the large common room by th 13 grandhildren (and some adults, and great grand children too). Only problem with the facilities was that our toilet was clogged when we first checked in. The staff unclogged it quickly but it left my germophobic wife uncomfortable with the facility for the remainder of our 3 night stay.

Friendly and clean hotel with plenty of parking behind the hotel. We arrived on a Friday, stayed until Sunday. Try the Winneshiek Ice Water made by Dylan at the Tap Room! Hotel is close to shops, breweries and restaurants/pubs. Plan to park and walk everywhere! Just a short walk to Trout Run Trail which covers just about every terrain from hilly, rocky, switch backs to prairie farm land. Be sure to stop by the trout farm and check out the eagles nest but be aware that these are the only...

Very inexpensive but does not feel like it. Room included a frig , microwave and coffee pot. Room was clean and quiet and the bed was comfortable. Have stayed here twice before and will always choose this when coming through.

We stayed one night and were very satisfied. The staff was very helpful with some confusion about our reservation and helped us. The breakfast options were typical. The breakfast room was neat and clean as were the rooms. Great value!

This is a very nicely maintained hotel. Not everything was brand new, but everything was clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and clean. The refrigerator, microwave and morning breakfast were appreciated. The hotel is conveniently located and had ample parking. It was a very comfortable stay and I would consider it a good value for the price. I would be happy to stay here again.
