We go to Minnesota once a year to go fishing. The Iowa House is about half way between our house and the cabin on the lake. We always stay here going to and coming from Minnesota. It’s clean, quiet, and easy to get to from the feeeway. The staff is friendly and helpful. We love it!

Terrific weekend with friends at Iowa House
We were enjoying a combined 50th reunion of ISU college friends and family. I stayed at a hotel the first night with one group of classmates, but when i arrived for my longer stay with family friends, it was so much like coming home! We could gather in small groups, enjoy coffee and visit and step.into the next room to visit with others. We met wonderful other folks who were doing student orientations and learned about their excitement to begin the Iowa State experience and we were happy to share.our half-century of Cyclone pride. Just loved our stay and the entire ambience of Iowa House. Looking forward, we'll choose this as our "home" again! Thanks
