About
This scenic property spans nearly 100 acres of orchard and farmland in Iowa's Des Moines River valley, featuring approximately 6,000 apple trees, expansive pumpkin fields, and vibrant flower gardens. Guests enjoy peaceful camping with two distinct parking options—one nestled riverside with serene water views, and another positioned near picturesque flower fields. The setting offers a tranquil escape filled with natural beauty, mature shade trees, and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. The on-site café and bakery serve fresh, satisfying meals and treats, from hearty soups and sandwiches to exceptional pies, donuts, and apple-cinnamon specialties. The well-stocked shop showcases homemade apple products, baked goods, local merchandise, and a curated boutique featuring unique items. Many guests rave about the quality and variety of goods available, making it an ideal place to stock up on treats for the road or gather gifts. Families particularly appreciate the diverse recreation options, including a jump pad, slides, corn box, and corn maze that provide hours of entertainment for children. Guests also enjoy visiting the goats, sampling cider and beverages, and simply relaxing in the peaceful riverside setting. The property hosts seasonal events, festivals, and entertainment throughout the year, adding to its appeal as a destination rather than just a stopover. The hosts and staff consistently receive praise for their genuine warmth, hospitality, and willingness to welcome guests and share the property's rich history. Visitors appreciate the accommodating nature of the team and the overall sense of care that defines the experience, making guests feel at home in rural Iowa.
