About this property
The Little Red Barn
Make yourself at home in this charming 1-bedroom Cedar Falls retreat. With amenities like a washing machine, WiFi, heating, and AC, guests can relax and unwind in this cozy barn. We hope you'll enjoy your stay at our superb property.
Take some time to literally smell the roses. Walk around barefoot if you like, (we do have dogs so watch where you step :/ ) pick veggies from the garden or fruit from the trees. Throw the ball for the dogs and they'll love you forever.
Relax on the patio or in the hot tub behind the house. Make yourself a fire and cook s'mores. Maybe you just want to sleep the day away, that's fine too.
We offer discounts of 20% for traveling nurses, teachers, and service members whether it's just for the night or for the week.
Being a teacher myself, I would like to help the other teachers out there that are just trying to make it, paycheck to paycheck.

This is an awesome place! If you just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities (which are also very close if needed) this would be it. Place was clean and very well deocated. Had everything you would need. Shannon was very friendly and accommodating. Dogs were also very friendly! We only stayed one night but it is definitely something I would do again!

About the host
Hosted by Shannon Friedrich
This barn was originally built for our chicken, horse, goats and sheep. It was awesome, but we’ve decided to change it up a bit and make it a retreat for people to stay and enjoy the outdoors.
Why they chose this property
I love the summer time when I get a break from teaching and can work in the outdoors, mowing, gardening and relaxing on the patio.
What makes this property unique
This property is unique in that it feels far away from town and hussle and bussle but is only ten minutes from Cedar Falls or Waterloo and 15 to Waverly.
Come and listen to the birds sing and enjoy all of the different parts of country life we have to offer.
