This place is so charming! We really enjoyed our time here. The country is so quiet, it was the get-away we needed. The church is so spacious and oh so beautiful and our hosts were so hospitable. Quick access to the amenities of Downtown Cedar Falls with all the perks of a quiet country retreat. Hoping to book more stays here in the near future.
