RView Farm-Iowa Farm House.

AmyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We were in Iowa from Texas for a graduation in a nearby town. RView Farm was the perfect place for our family to stay. We loved the peaceful setting. Our kids ran and played outside for hours and the fire pit extended our time outside even at night. The beautiful deck was the perfect spot for morning coffee and sunshine and our favorite place to eat our meals while enjoying all the lovely bird song. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets for a cozy movie night when it was stormy out. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals, as well as a table big enough for our family of 6. It was a wonderful stay. We highly recommend!!
