About the host

Hosted by Mollie

Host profile image
As serial entrepreneurs, we're dreamers by nature, and not afraid of a little (or a lot) of hard work. This combination either makes us driven + successful or downright crazy. Most days we'd agree it looks (and feels) crazy.

Josh has owned his own business since the age of 10, Mollie joined him as 'business partner' at 21, and together we've owned + operated a successful lawn care and landscaping company in Central Iowa for more than 25 years. We came to Ames for school in 2007 and never left...just added two kids, two dogs, and an assortment of kitties, chickens, and ducks along the way.

The dream of owning an incredible piece of Iowa's history, coupled with our immense love for entertaining + hospitality was the perfect combination in our minds to take the leap...we've found ourselves the proud new owners of a 27,000 square foot school in the middle of the most beautiful Iowa countryside and we're so ready to share her with you.

Why they chose this property

This 'neighborhood' chose us.

We've been on an acreage for nearly eight years, and it was abundantly clear we'd never be going back to the city...we just had no idea this incredible school is where we would land!

What makes this property unique

Milford Township Consolidated School, Est. 1923
Iowa's Prairie Castle, Est. 2012
Milford Schoolhouse Stays, Est. 2024

The uniqueness of this property is unmatched. Everything from the history she holds inside her walls as an old Iowa school...to the incredible renovation she underwent at the hands of a true artist + his amazing vision...a single step inside the front doors tells you everything you need to know about how truly unique this property is.
