Half mile hike to Dutton's cave with shallow stream. A perfect park for children with swing, slides, and

a short walk to waterfalls and a cave.

Three miles to Euphoria coffee house in West Union, east of the courthouse.

Seven miles west on Hwy 18 is Country View Dairy with baby calves and a charming gift shop with homemade soaps and candles and various local foods. Best of all is the variety of frozen yogurt flavors.

Down the road to the north is the Turkey River and a little farther on is one of Iow's scenic bike trails linking towns...

Close to the town of West Union is a golf course and Otter trout stream along a two mile Echo Valley walking trail.

Just north of the guesthouse is a Rolling Hills Greenhouse, providing lettuce and herbs to the people of Iowa.

A quiet country setting with rolling corn fields and friendly country folk.
