About this property

Fritz’s Farmhouse.. Country getaway.

Two story 1800s limestone home in the country, located 3 miles outside of scenic Guttenberg IA on the Mississippi River. Newly remodeled home. Hiking trails, fishing ponds, large area for boat parking. Three miles from Mississippi and Turkey river access. Clayton county is an ATV friendly riding is permitted on all county roads. Tubes available for use on the turkey. Large barn available for dances, wedding receptions, birthday parties, class reunions etc.


***When renting the house, the ponds and other areas are available for use without extra cost at anytime but NOT included with the house. We allow our family to use the property behind the house (ponds, woods) at any time. There may be traffic past the house (ATV, motorcycles, tractors) because the road to the ponds runs by the house to a trail. We hope you understand and feel free to use the paddle boards, fishing poles etc. at the pond and feel free to hike the woodland all at your own risk! We have a very active family that also enjoys the freedom from the city! If you have any questions or concerns about this just let us know! ~ The Kann Family

For the most part everything was really nice. Beds were comfortable and clean. We did not have any problems with the air quality in the house and it was very comfortable sleeping. A few items we would change were the coffee maker wasn't very clean and I'm kinda OCD anyhow so did clean it up and worked great :-). We did make a pizza in the oven and it got a bit smokey from the spilled "stuff" in the bottom of the oven but worked okay and pizza stone we used was perfect!Did not see the host while we were there! Loved looking at the pictures on the walls and can only imagine the history and stories behind them!Thanks for a great place to stay close to Dyersville for the Field of Dreams Twins vs Phillies game.

Beautiful rural setting

Delightfully easy check-in, clean and spacious farm house, beautiful front porches, well-stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and hiking trails for a morning walk! Wish we had more than 1 night here to enjoy the property more, but it was great.

Driftless Getaway

My family and I enjoyed a three day stay at this historic home. It had plenty of farm themed charm and a neat property to explore. Our favorite parts were the wooded areas for hiking and the neat buildings and equipment onsite.

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.

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.

An amazing old farm house restored with modern touches

We could not have asked for a better place, very comfortable, spacious, a very welcoming host (even invited us to dinner at his son’s restaurant), but the best part was an amazing property. If you love old farm houses this as good as it gets!We did the Driftless 100 in Elkader and stayed 2 nights maximizing everything from the modern kitchen to the comfy living room & beds to a perfectly placed fire pit to watch the sunset and sip bourbon after the race.
