About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Four Winds - 1st Floor

FOUR WINDS (first floor with private entrance) has solid Brazilian cherry floors, cherry doors and trim, two window seats, and a lovely oak kitchen furnished with dishes, cooking and baking pans, a dishwasher, a self-cleaning electric range, a refrigerator, microwave, desk, and dining room table. The beautiful woodwork throughout was lovingly hand-made by the former owner’s father.

The first-floor bathroom features a modern, walk-in double shower with an Italian quarry tile floor and walls. The shower is fully handicap accessible, with a bench and two adjustable showerheads. A stacked washer and dryer is also present for use by guests and staff.

The living room has a queen-sized Murphy bed with a memory foam mattress, and a full-size futon for comfortable seating during the day and overall sleeping for 2 to 4 at night. The futon is a specially made, front-loading, wall-hugger model made for easy conversion from sofa to bed. We are happy to have one or both units made into beds upon check-in, but they can be set up for easy conversion during the day. These rooms are decorated in subtle shades of moss green, cherry wine, butterscotch, dusty blue, and plum with hand-made window treatments and coverlets. *This floor is ADA accessible via outside ramp.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

Norman Rockwell...eat your heart out. You got nuthin' on St. Ansgar and Gwen. This charming little village in Northern Iowa harkens back to a time and place captured in his paintings. The charm. The people. And then there's Four Seasons...Gwen's precious turn-of-the-century Victorian gem . Decorated in her artistic touch, Joanne and I marveled at every detail. Even a basket filled with breakfast goodies on our doorstep the first morning put there by the "Breakfast Fairy." Serenity, peace, and love. Gwen's charming little house in this equally charming little village...we will most assuredly go back. Who knows...maybe to stay!
