We brought three grandsons here to experience the farm that grandpa grew up on. They are big city kids and thoroughly enjoyed running free over the empty cornfields and lovely walking trails. The Lavender suite itself is lovely! High-end appliances fireplace, and fire pit However we came in March and it was pretty cold. I have some mobility problems. I don't use a wheelchair, but I have to have pretty easy access to shower and such. This place was perfect. They also have some tree houses that would be fun, but that would be difficult for me and this place. There's plenty large enough to sleep five or six. The grandkids said they wanna live here. That made me very happy because I was worried that they might be bored. There are no theme parks here. they loved exploring the woods and the frozen creeks along the walking trail. The hosts could not be more perfect. We were responsive. But left us to our family time!

The lounges are HUGE and include full bathrooms. The guest bathrooms are spacious and have enough for large events with no lines! The ceremony space outside is beautiful! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue for any medium-large event! We had 140 people at our wedding and had plenty of room for a large dance floor and both a video guest book, Photo Booth and the buffet line. 10/10 I would choose them 100x over!

She always tried to keep us up to date on what was happening and coordinated parking, setup, put up all our chairs, and even gave us a very heartfelt tour of the gardens. The day of the wedding was a beautifully sunny day (it was yesterday!). Everything was perfect. I really have nothing to say about the location that's negative. She knew what she was doing and her hard work is seen with how beautiful the gardens are kept. She does tea and snacks on Saturdays, and I may stop by with my mom. I definitely recommend this location as one of the best Iowa City can offer for outdoor venues! She also can have a reception at the location too (though my fiance and I didn't choose to because we had a reception venue lined up anyway).
