Blue Fern Hotel - Nestled Away Loft Space
Take an adventure to this eclectic loft nestled in the heart of “The City of Bridges.” Here you’ll find a unique and bubbly styled space, stocked with coffee & tea, a refreshing work area, and good vibes. Nothing beats a nearby river walk and an easy Iowa get-a-way.
The space
The Blue Fern Hotel is a completely renovated one-bedroom apartment by high school sweethearts Bryce and Brielle with a goal to beautify Ottumwa.
This space is fitted with 1 queen-sized bed and 1 futon as well as a washer and dryer located in the entryway of the apartment. It also has a kitchen which includes a stove, oven, full-size fridge, dishware, pots and pans. The bathroom has a full bath/shower. This space is air-conditioned and heated, both of which the guest have full control of.
Off-road parking is available on our half circle driveway. This loft apartment is located above a garage, so this space is not handicap accessible as there are steep stairs that must be taken to access the apartment, as well as a few additional stairs up to the bedroom.(Please note the steep stairs for your own and your parties physical needs.)
