Blue Fern Hotel - Nestled Away Loft Space

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.)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
