Back again

Another great stay at Fritz’s Farmhouse. It’s always a wonderful time motorcycling in northeast Iowa and the farmhouse is a true treasure. The family is so welcoming and feels like coming home every time we come to Iowa.

Felt like home!

We booked Fritz's farmhouse for when our middle son was in a baseball tournament at the Field of Dreams. We wanted a place we could go to rest in between the time gaps that had enough space for the kids to play outside. Fritz's was PERFECT for that! The owners were great to work with and the home was cozy. Our boys got a chance to play wiffle ball, cornhole/bags and basketball outside but also were able to relax inside from the heat. They took walks to the pond, went on the swing and got another taste of farm life. We didn't get a chance to use the wood fire oven which was a bummer but Brian did let us graze the raspberry bushes <3 We would definitely come back the next time we are staying in Iowa! Thank you Kann family for a great home!

Great Rental!

Well worth the rate, flexible check-in and check-out times, Brian was easy to work with, short drive into Guttenberg which was important due to the reason we came - for a funeral. Highly recommend.

Magical Experience

This was one of my very best one on Monday patients with my fiance. It was more than a home away from home. The views were spectacular, sunset and sunrise. We really enjoyed the pond. I paddle boarded while he fished and we just felt so relaxed. It was a great location close to town, wineries, and the river. I absolutely recommend staying!

Clean and comfortable

This was a wonderfully renovated old farm house. The antiques that were used in the decor told quite a story of farm history. The house was clean and comfortable. My teens enjoyed exploring down by the ponds and taking photos of the horses and chickens that where in the area. The property was within driving distance to Dubuque, Pikes Peak, and Prairie Du Chien. A great, comfortable place to stay to visit the picturesque Iowa countryside.

Family Getaway

The prop was perfect for a family getaway. My adult children, mothe-in-law, and I stayed for a long weekend. The house was perfect for us. It is a beautifully restored stone house. The décor added to the charm of this home. It was close to many Mississippi River activities. There is also two ponds and a hiking trail. The family who owns the property are very friendly and accommodating. Also, theresident chickens are fun to watch.
