I probably missed a couple descriptors, as I really needed another visit to wind around this place some more.

Strawberry farms is an incredible bed and breakfast. I have uploaded pictures I took while I was…read morethere, but I want yelp-ers to know that I saw several other rooms there, all of which included an attached bathroom and were larger than my room. I suppose those more luxurious rooms were more expensive than mine, but I loved my room. They all have closets and a tv. The bed and breakfast is clean and charming. It is a large house and has a very large living room, computer room, kitchen, dining room, a screened porch, and family room. If my count is correct, I believe they have five bedrooms, some of which are large an have multiple beds and a couple have a single bed. The b&b is filled with beautiful decor. The owners, Linda and Karl Reichert, are lovely people who welcomed my whole party with warmth and delicious food. They make amazing breakfasts. The day before, you are given a menu for a three course breakfast. You choose what you'd like for each course. The first course is a fresh fruit bowl, the second is a bread course, such as homemade scones or muffins, and the third is an entree, such as pancakes or egg concoctions. All of their food was homemade from scratch. The scones were the best I've ever had in my life. Linda told me she shares recipes and gave me her scone recipe. The yard is fantastic. They have a gazebo, apple and walnut trees, a flower garden, a vegetable garden, and fruit plants. The fresh fruit you eat in the morning and some ingredients for other dishes come from their own personal garden. There is plenty of room for children to play and pets to run. For entertainment, there are tvs in every room and in the family room, there is a dart board, they have board games, and Muscatine is only a ten minute drive. This bed and breakfast is everything a b&b should be. The home is wonderful, the yard is gorgeous, the food is delicious and the people are fantastic. I would recommend strawberry farms to anyone and everyone.

I felt SO LUCKY to have found this place. The hosts were like family and sat me down to have some sherbet as soon as I arrived. (I likely looked a bit heat damaged!) My room was upstairs in the house was large with a bath. The breakfast was very tasty. I particularly liked that all the guests sat at the same table. Traveling alone makes this feature a real delight.

The staff acts like it is a bother to take orders and rarely offers a warm welcome or word, and forget about possibly getting a smile. The pastries never seem fresh; it's like Java House sends the leftovers to this location. And the coffee shop itself is not very clean. It is almost like they don't want people to actually sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee. The atmosphere, the people and the product are all three very off putting.

Yes, Jackson Pollock's 'Mural,' a work from 1943, checks that box in a big way. It's been included in Pollock retrospectives in other art museums. Okay, but do they have anything else? Yes. Whoever is on the team that put together this collection deserves kudos because it's especially strong in mid-20th century and African art. Do they have any Grant Wood paintings? Grant Wood is Iowa so, yes, of course, they have a few of his works, too. What about the building itself? Well, it's shiny and new and a true pleasure to walk through. Sound expensive. What's the admission fee? It's free! Bonus: the scholarship here is great and it's directly reflected in the well-written wall labels. This is hands down one of best two art museums in the State.

Cinnamon rolls were pretty good - soft dough, icing was a little sweet though and I would have liked more cinnamon filling. Pretty good deal, a pan for $6. Kolaches are inedible. Kolache dough should be super soft and fluffy, this is pretty dense, almost like a dinner roll. And filling is way too thinned out.Texture was way off and not sweet enough. Will remember for next time...

I think you could walk the distance between the hotel and the hospital if you wanted to. Staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. I called to reserve a room daily and they said they didn't need any credit card data until we were there (which again was helpful). I only got coffee at the bistro once (great) and only one meal, the avocado toast. I thought it was presented well and was pretty darn delicious The rooms were very comfortable. The only issue we had was that we had sporadic cell service on the third floor. Requested another floor for the next night and all was well. I LOVED the shower and the bathroom. Super large and luxurious. I'm sure it's super crowded on game days. Again, cudos to the staff!
