About this property
Spacious Lodge w Private Suites. Close to Field of Dreams, Galena, & Breweries
Welcome to the Lodge! Kick up your feet, quiet your mind, and grab your favorite beverage with family and friends. You’re home in Iowa.
The Lodge’s sprawling floor plan offers incredible two-story vaulted ceilings, a stone fireplace, kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counters, large (NEW!) deck, private screened porch, wine bar, and a laundry room with washer and dryer. Four of the five bedrooms are king suites with a full bath, whirlpool tub, and kitchenette.
Additionally, the Lodge is handicap accessible and outfitted with a ramp at the front entrance, an elevator that goes between all floors (please notify Owner if you’ll require use of the elevator), and a lower level King suite with an accessible shower and restroom.
Other great features include 2 dedicated workspaces complete with fiber optic WiFi and Roku TVs in every room.
The Main Level entrance takes you through a laundry and mud room to the kitchen which opens to the towering Grand Room. Also on the main level is the sunroom with a trickling indoor pond (on a timer) for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The Main Level Queen bedroom has a full closet, TV, and private, screened balcony. Lastly, a restroom is across from the Queen bedroom as well as an office which includes a desk, extra monitor, and printer.
The 2nd Main Level entrance wraps around the backside of the Lodge for privacy. Upon entering, you’ll walk into a sitting area and see a half-bath opposite the stairs that lead to the Upper Level King Suites. The King suites are identical and include a kitchenette (mini refrigerator, microwave, sink, and cabinets), closet, sitting area, and full bathroom with a stand-up shower and jacuzzi tub. Additionally, one of the King Suites has a full crib and rocking chair for your little one. Between the rooms is an open landing with a twin bunkbed, desk and couch for you to relax while you catch up on emails or read.
The Lower Level opens to a full bar stocked with glassware, a wine refrigerator, and a mini refrigerator. Between the 2 King Suites, unwind on the huge sectional to watch your favorite sports game or play foosball on a Tornado Classic Table. Both of the Lower Level King Suites have kitchenettes, sitting areas, and full bathrooms with stand-up showers and jacuzzi tubs. Also, both have private walk-outs to the patio. Note one of the Lower Level King Suites is handicapped accessible.
Outside the Main Level you may access the new composite deck that overlooks the property. Deer are near in the early morning hours and see what birds you can identify while sipping coffee! Our favorites are humming birds, cardinals, and finches.

Second time renting from Megan, another family gathering for a funeral. I could not ask for a better host: prompt in replying, helpful, understanding. The property itself is amazing: plenty of room, well kept, beautifully appointed, and well stocked.

You’re a star guest! Always welcome and again, thank you for taking care of our home. Pleasure supporting your family and friends. Thank you!
This was a beautiful home that was perfect for our group of 10. We were in the area for a baseball tournament in Dyersville and the location was great. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area!

Thank you! Please come see us again for more baseball and relaxation! -Megan
We loved everything about this house! The suites are great, kitchen is well stocked, plenty of room for our family vacation. We also loved the location, we took day trips to Galena and Dyersville. We enjoyed outdoor games in the yard, went to the golf/mini-golf course, as well as other attractions in Dubuque. We appreciate the owners attention to details and the pristine condition of the home. The best VRBO house we have stayed in.

Thank you for your stay and taking such great care of our home! We’re glad the Lodge could be a gathering space for all ages and appreciated your communication. Please come see us again!
This is the second time staying at the property and it did not disappoint. The house is very large, spacious and a cozy cabin feel. All the rooms are suites which is great for multiple families.
Home is clean, owners are very friendly and responsive.

We look forward to helping families come together at the Lodge and were excited to host Tiffany’s reunion! Tiffany was so easy to communicate with and we loved hearing how their party took advantage of how close the Lodge is to attractions in Dubuque and Galena. Thank you for an A+ stay! We hope to see you again.
Beautiful cabin! We stayed with my large family for a long weekend. Check in was simple, and the local property manager was great to work with when a minor issue popped up. The cabin was very clean and well maintained. We had a very comfortable stay and hope to come back again!

Thank you for your stay! It was so easy to communicate with you and you took such great care of our home. Also, thank you for mentioning our kitchen amenities/supplies - we strive to have all you need since we also love cooking. Thank you, again!
Stayed with a few families for a Field of Dreams tournament. The house was perfect! Having multiple primary bedrooms gave each family their own space and there were many areas to gather and hang out together! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!!

Thank you for gathering your family at the Lodge! We loved having locals and thank you again for your awesome communication!
The lodge was the perfect size for our group of 10. The location is remote but we loved it as it was a relaxing space after our outings that included golf, hiking and sightseeing. The owner Megan answered a couple questions promptly. We had an excellent vacation at an excellent property!

Thank you for visiting the Lodge! We love hearing how the rooms are filled with friends and family and are also glad our location allowed all to unwind in the woods. Thank you for your excellent communication! Please come back for your next celebration. :)
Our family loved this dream holiday getaway. The modern cabin mansion is off the rails as far as location, design, and all of the comforts of home. We will be returning again next year. Thank you Megan !

We’re thrilled the Lodge was a hit with your Group! …and so appreciate your comments about our decor ;). Thank you and please come see us again!
Really great spot, with a unique layout. Very clean and the host was extremely helpful and communicative.
The only thing we'd change would be a few more dishes and other things as we had 9 adults and ran out of stuff like that often.

Thank you for staying! Glad we could make your stay memorable!
We had a great time at this cabin. The inside was very nice and clean.
The only negatives were, with the ac running the basement rooms were cold and the upstairs was quite warm, and the outside was somewhat overgrown/weedy.
We Rented this Property for our One Nation Slowpitch Staff who had an event at the Field of Dreams location , this house was perfect for our group of 8 we will definitely stay here again ..

Brian was a great guest from the start - asking questions about the Lodge’s rooms, amenities, etc. and also checking-in on their departure day to make sure their party followed ‘house rules’ before leaving. Brian - we hope to see your guests and you again for a Field of Dreams event or any other stay. Thank you for having awesome communication - it always helps to know how we may make our Guest’s stays memorable!
About the host
Hosted by Megan Cesaretti
Owners Mike and Megan permanently reside in Florida, but they’ll always call the Midwest ‘home’. Mike grew up on Minnesota’s lakes and Megan is from Dubuque’s rolling bluffs on the Mighty Mississippi.
Mike and Megan were drawn to the Lodge after their son was born and wanting to be closer to family. On their first drive up the winding gravel road squeezed between trees, they knew they found a special place. Deer greet you in the early morning hours, cardinals, blue jays, and woodpeckers make appearances throughout the day, and coyotes howl in the distance as you doze off.
Mike and Megan can’t wait to share the Lodge with you. Kick up your feet, quiet your mind, and enjoy your favorite beverage with family and friends. You’re home in Iowa.
