Log House at Whiterock Conservancy
Whiterock Conservancy is a 5,500-acre, nonprofit land trust dedicated to providing educational and recreational opportunities for the public, improving and protecting the land through conservation, and demonstrating sustainable farming methods.
Explore over 40 miles of hiking, running, mountain biking, and equestrian trails that meander through prairie, oak savanna, wetland and river valley; set up camp in our RV or tent camping areas; or enjoy the comforts of home in one of our vacation rentals. Enjoy the countryside and wildlife, and some of the darkest skies in Iowa for stargazing. Visit the Historic Garst Farmstead to learn about agricultural history or check out one of our multiple fishing ponds. We have fishing equipment, mountain bikes and kayaks/canoes (river level and weather permitting) for rent.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Each location has Wi-Fi, a smart tv & basic cable, air conditioning, closet space, and clean linens & towels provided. Cell coverage may not be available from all providers.

KITCHEN AMENITIES: Two kitchens, one upstairs and one downstairs. The basic upper-level kitchen includes coffee maker, toaster, knife set and microwave. The lower-level kitchen is equipped with the same cooking essentials including a microwave, and refrigerator.

Annual Cabin Christmas
For the most part, we enjoyed our stay. There were cleanliness issues that I feel were unacceptable. Adter multiole attempts to contact the manager, I had to finally contact VRBO to contact them for me.
