The sweet potato fries were crispy and full of flavor, and the shakes were creamy and thick -- definitely worth ordering. I liked it so much I went back a couple of days later before heading back to my home state and tried the Maid-Rite sandwich, which was very good and affordable. We also shared the cheese curds -- they were crispy on the outside with perfectly melted cheese inside. Overall, a great stop for our road trip -- delicious food, generous portions, and a good value!

Thankful for staffer Phyllis, who was kind, friendly, and informative. She made our visit way better! They have fun items all over their spacious gift shop, which focuses on their Danish history. There is a $5 tour of the windmill too. Plenty of parking, a cute park immediately south, and downtown Elk Horn a walk to the north. Located less than 10 minutes north of I-80. Cap this visit off with a stop at The Kringleman Pastry Shop two blocks north, and you'll fully immerse yourself in Danish culture.

Beside the windmill, the grounds include a Danish Viking smithy and home along with historic Viking information and milling information. There is also a tiny church moved here after being donated by the builders family. Models of Danish homes created by a man in MA who based them on the Danish village his grandparents lived in are on display behind the building in a small fenced area. A bust to Hans Christian Andersen is in their lovely garden area and picnic tables are under the trees near the Viking home. Community bulletin boards are near their private dirt parking lot. The gift shop has so many treasures! Be sure to sign the guest book. At the time of this review, tariffs on goods imported from Europe have increased some prices, but there are plenty of Danish kitchen items, holiday decor, candles, mugs, wonderful toys, candy, mead, glassware and on and on. Definitely plan time to wander around. Purchases support mill upkeep and restoration. The gift shop also serves as an Iowa tourist information point where you will find brochures of other Iowa sights. Very clean restrooms at the back of the gift shop. The windmill is just six minutes south of the Little Mermaid Fountain which is another stop worth seeing. Happy motoring!

I've been here so many times! I always visit when I'm back in town. I recently tried the bar soaps…read more I have eczema, and they're so soothing and moisturizing! I also love their candles. They're long lasting with a variety of scents. I like seasonal usually. I've bought pillows, their fresh build-your-own flowers, locally made pottery coffee cups, you name it. Each product doesn't disappoint. The only idea that I had was that they may consider figuring out more of their online store or presence. I would love to buy online and ship now that I'm out of town.

We've bought wonderful framed and unframed decor for our new home, along with some plant pots, ceramic and glass containers, and an authentic brass fire hose nozzle. I can't remember what else! I could buy more, but food, the mortgage, etc... Chris, the owner, is an incredible woman and savvy business owner. She is warm and welcoming. It's obvious from the second you walk in that she takes great care curating the items she sells. The way the items are arranged makes it fun to browse, and she never pressures you. Often there are only one or two of something, so what you see changes every time you visit and there is always something new to tempt you. Chris has exquisite taste, and she is clearly committed to choosing high-quality products that often are locally made. She knows about the owners and artists, which really adds to the shopping experience. I've brought someone with me each time I've visited. It's a pleasure to introduce people to this charming store. We take our time and always walk out giddy. I can't say enough about enchanting Nesting Goods! Let's all support small businesses, especially in a town like St. Joseph, where so many people are trying hard to create a destination!
