- "Wonderful place and definitely a place to stay when in the area!" - "I have been staying at this historic place now for three straight years. Simply put there isn't a better place to stay on a vacation. The owners are the nicest people to work with, they treat you like family. They supply almost everything you need...just bring your suitcase because that is all you really need. This historic mill is quiet, except for the falls outside that put you to sleep or create a peaceful calm, it's always clean, and it's right downtown in Shell Rock. Look no further than this serene setting for a place to stay whenever you are staying anywhere close to Shell Rock Iowa!"

- "A very peaceful, quiet place. The weather was perfect. The place had plenty of amenities." - "Beautiful lake overview. Large patio with fire pit. Quaint home with plenty of room. Comfortable beds!" - "Amazing stay! The spa tub and shower felt great after long days outside. On rainy days - lots of good movies and fun games to watch. Also, even though raining, the large, covered porch was a great place to sit! Fishing was okay - not anyone's fault on that - just water that was too high from all the heavy rain. The beds are amazingly comfortable! We visited the museum, which was a nice little outing. We went to the beach...it was nice but very cold! We also went to Dairy Treat, recommended by owner of the property, and it was so delicious! Truely a great stay!! Thank you."

If given the opportunity, I’d stay again!" - "The property was great. Beautiful location and awesome outdoor space" - "Great place to get away for a couple of days on the lake! The property was well kept with a great view from the house and a spacious covered deck that we spent a lot of our time relaxing on. We would highly recommend it!"

Linn Ave Guesthouse is a five bedroom, three bathroom home that is spacious and comfortable. Whether your group numbers 2 or 12, you will find this home offers comfort and convenience at a reasonable rate.

Typically, we tell our guests that if they bring their food, clothes and personal grooming needs, they will likely find the rest of what they need (and more!) at this well-stocked location. For example, beds are made and towels are in the bathroom upon your arrival--how convenient is that?

The property is a two-story house, with full kitchens, living rooms, laundry areas, and dining areas on each of the floors. The lower level has three bedrooms (two king beds, one queen) and two bathrooms. The upper level has two queen bedrooms. There are also two pack and plays at the house, should you be traveling with little ones (thus eliminating the need to pack everything).

Three televisions are located in the home, all connected to DIRECTV. Two of the units are SMART TVs.

Wireless internet is provided, so bring your electronic toys and stay in touch during your stay.

The property is located within two blocks of Holy Family Parish/St. Joseph School and Mercy Medical Center. Because of its proximity to these, the house provides convenience when gathering for weddings, anniversary celebrations, when grandma and grandpa come home for a school event, or when you have a loved one in the hospital, and you want to remain close.

Imagine having the bridesmaids stay with you overnight and then being able to walk to the church! Or hosting your family's holiday gathering without having to clean your own home--and without trying to find sleeping room for all of the out of towners. This home offers a way to keep your guests close, but not underfoot.

- "Very spacious for our group of 10. Easy to find, and within walking distance of restaurants and bars." - "What a wonderful house. My sisters and I again had a wonderful time at one of Linda's rentals. Completely filled with beautiful furnishings. Spacious rooms! Great stay!" - "This home was a perfect meeting place for our family. This older home was full of vintage and antique furniture. We had plenty of beds and bathrooms for all of us. The beds were comfortable. The living and dining rooms were spacious. There are two full kitchens with a wide variety of cooking, serving, and dinnerware. The hostess was quick to respond to my messages. We found a Fareway grocery store, gas/convenience stations and a very nice public park/playground in this lovely little town. "

This completely remodeled, three bedroom, upstairs apartment (there are quite a few stairs, no elevator) is conveniently located on Main Street, above a local bar (PLEASE NOTE: the music might be louder later at night, especially on the weekends) and within walking distance to shopping, eating establishments, and a gas station.

Will be returning if I travel here again for work!!" - "Lovely neighborhood, friendly locals, within easy walking distance to pubs and restaurants." - "Jessica is a great host that was wonderful to communicate with. I have rented her place to house traveling nurse anesthetist for MercyOne. They all have loved staying there!"

My small ranch-style home is set back on about an acre of land off Highway 3 in Waverly, but don’t let that take away from the completely private, quiet and relaxing experience you’ll have while you’re here.

The open concept layout includes a full kitchen with all new GE Cafe appliances purchased in 2020, including a wall oven and microwave with wifi capabilities, a cooktop and range hood, a dishwasher, and a french door refrigerator/drawer freezer complete with a hot water dispenser. I also have a toaster, air fryer, blender, crockpot and coffee maker. You’ll find plenty of dinner and drinkware, pots & pans, utensils and an assortment of spices, condiments and dry goods such as flour, sugar, baking powder, etc. to use at your convenience. You’ll also find bonus snacks in the fridge, freezer and pantry drawers.

The dining area includes a 70” island and a table with seating for four. There are also tv trays to use for your convenience. Located in the living room is an electric fireplace and a 70” tv with access to all your favorite streaming services.

The large window in the living room looks out onto the covered front porch, which despite facing highway 3, is a relaxing space to enjoy morning coffee in the two rocking chairs it includes.

The bathroom is complete with a 74x60 shower, a 93” double sink vanity, a large seated makeup vanity with plenty of drawers for storage, a heated toilet seat, hot water bidet, and heated floors throughout.

The main bedroom located in the back corner of the house includes a queen bed, Roku TV, room darkening curtains, a remote controlled ceiling fan, and a Yamaha piano.

The second sleeping space is located in my favorite part of the house, which is the sunroom. It faces north and is completely private surrounded by large evergreen trees that line the property. Beyond the trees are cornfields, which means no neighbors and no through traffic. There are two single murphy beds located on the sunporch and room darkening curtains for a comfortable sleeping arrangement. The sunroom also has its own HVAC unit which keeps it very warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The backyard includes a fire pit and a sitting area.

I do have a pack-n-play and a booster high chair available for all guests to use. I only ask that you bring your own sheets for the pack-n-play as I do not have those on hand. All towels and linens are freshly laundered between each guest’s stay and the floors are vacuumed and mopped throughout.

Extra amenities:
-Washer/dryer unit
-Blender
-Crockpot
-Air mattress

- "We had to pop into town for a funeral last minute and Maddie was nothing but accommodating and kind! The place was absolutely gorgeous - a very relaxing place to lay our heads after an emotional day. We will absolutely be checking to see if it’s available anytime we come back to town for a family event." - "Cute house with open concept is great for girls weekend. Love the modern bathroom and kitchen." - "This home is beautifully decorated and the bathroom is absolute luxury. The open floor plan is fantastic for hanging out. There aren’t many pots and pans to cook with, but Waverly has a variety of restaurant options. I would definitely recommend this property for adults and families with older children."

Preparing this house for use as a guesthouse was a labor of love. If you appreciate quality oak woodwork and floors, open staircases, and large wrap-around porches; you need to experience this property!

With five bedrooms plus a fold-out couch, this property can accommodate up to 12 guests. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed. There is also a pack n play (portable crib) available for the little ones.

You'll find lots of room to enjoy each other's company with three living room-type areas on the main floor, together with a dining room, kitchen, bathroom, pantry (with a washer and dryer) and a bedroom.

Take your pick of which staircase to use to get to the upper level (yes, there are two), where you will find four additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed and good-sized closet. One of the upper-level bathrooms contains two additional sets of washers and dryers that can be used by guests.

The wrap around porch includes some white wicker furniture as well as two sets of tables and chairs if you'd like to dine or visit outside.

The house is equipped with higher speed internet and two SMARTV's. You will have access to Prime selections, including anything that is free, and you can use your subscriptions for a number of other applications.

Small towns in Iowa can be a great get away. Whether you are here to enjoy a town celebration, wedding, funeral, family reunion, holiday, extended work stays or just a night or weekend away with family or friends; we think this house will give you a great place to call "home base." We do put up a lighted tree and some additional decorations at Christmas time; not extensive but enough to add a touch of holiday flavor.

PLEASE NOTE: This property is NOT appropriate for events or parties.

Need to house more people than what can fit in this home? We operate a second large guest house within the same block. Linn Ave Guesthouse can house up to 14 people. Look for it on the same booking site.

- "This house has a lot of room. Perfect for what we needed. Might be nice if one of the rooms had 2 twin beds instead of all Queens.

- "Beautiful, spacious, clean, well-stocked, comfy & walking distance to everything we needed. Loved it & will 100% book again." - "My son and I needed a fun place to stay mid week during the State Trap Shooting Competition. The range was midway between Waverly and Cedar Falls. We really enjoyed the studio and could have easily had a couple more family members stay with us and have plenty of room. The beds and pillows were incredible. The view was incredible and we highly recommend this accomodation."

The cows are ready to meet you at New Day Dairy’s GuestBarn in North Iowa! Cow gaze 24/7 while “sleeping with cows” in modern comfort! The loft features 2 large windows overlooking 150 cows munching their “cow salad”, lounging on the “beach”, or heading to be milked by “Rita the Robot”! You'll be fascinated by following one of the "painted" cow's life in the barn. Get up close to the cows & calves on guided intro & farewell barn tours! Welcome to New Adventures, Authentic Cows, and Comfy Beds!

The non-smoking GuestBarn sleeps 9 people (with an optional 10 in a pack in play). With 3 separate bedrooms all with their own bathrooms you'll be comfortable during your stay. A beautiful garden out front along with the expansive Iowa horizon can be enjoyed from both the porch or the patio (complete with gas fire pit).

Every stay comes with an Introductory & Farwell Tour plus a DIY continental breakfast! Enjoy hard boiled eggs, Dutch letter pastries (!), yogurt, granola, and more at your own pace. Use the fully stocked kitchen for your meals or dine in (or out) at local restaurants.

Guests are NOT allowed in the barn, near calf area, or in pasture unless with a farm tour guide. This is for our guests safety as even the nicest animal can be unpredictable and machinery does need to operate on the farm. Of course, our insurance likes this too.

You'll need a vehicle you're willing to drive on gravel to get here. In the winter (Nov-Mar typically), a 4WD or AWD vehicle is recommended as the gravel roads & our driveway can become snow-packed and icy. It's all part of the authentic farmstay experience.

Area Information: 3 hours from Minneapolis, 2 from Des Moines, and 5 from Kansas City sleeping with the cows is a great way to spend a weekend outside of the city! Clarksville is 10 minutes away, Waverly - home of Wartburg College - is 20 minutes, and Charles City is 30 minutes to the north. Each of these communities has great activities & restaurants if you're planning to spend multiple days in the area.

- "We were back in IA for a 90th Birthday party and enjoyed our stay at the barn. Very clean and roomy. The grandkids loved watching the cows out the big picture windows upstairs. We got to see a fairly new calf in a pen. The hostess was really nice/friendly and did a great job giving us a tour. Relaxing sitting out in front in the garden area. Thanks!" - "I stayed at this property with my two granddaughters ages 7 and 4. They LOVED it! Our hosts went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The fridge had a variety of cheeses along with milk, water, mini bagels and yogurt. That was a nice surprise. The beds were comfy. A bathroom for each bedroom and anything you would need in the kitchen. The property was spotless and the cow veiwing area is perfect for kids. Toys, games and several TV veiwing options. We will return for sure!"

- "Very nice house for our stay"

The historic Carter House was built by it's namesake J.H. Carter in 1866. Carter was one of the most prominent and influential residents of Shell Rock. He was a founding father of many of the community's businesses. The House remained in his family until 1952. In 2022, the Carter House was purchased by Star Valley Hospitality and was completely renovated. This stylish single family home boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and is now an inviting short-term rental.

- "We had a great stay at this beautiful, recently updated home. Lots of space and a big yard/deck. Very thankful to have an option like this in the Shell Rock area." - "This home was a great option for my group as we could walk to the Shellrock downtown local pub (very friendly) and a very short drive to Waverly as we were in town for a Wartburg College event. Smooth communication with the property manager. " - "We enjoyed a relaxing stay! Used the charcoal grill to prepare a cook out and also used the fire pit for s’mores! Home is cozy and quaint. Neighborhood is quiet. It is clear that the owners live here from time to time as the closets were full of things (we wanted to hang some dress clothes so we had looked)… but that didn’t bother us. Home was clean. Owners were easy to communicate with. Thank you! "

- "Love that the property had a lot of room to play-dock for our boat for fishing (caught some sunnies and a big catfish right off the dock) and enough space for everyone to have their own beds and space." - "Great property right on lakeshore. Swim and kayaking right from dock. Plent of comfy beds, well equipped kitchen.Nashua is a cute little town" - "This was a great spot for our extended family to get together! Lots of sleeping spaces, especially the bunk room in the barn. They just put a bathroom in the bunk room so it was perfect to have that. We had several little ones, so having the park across the street was perfect and the little beach area down the street. They had kayaks and a paddle board in the shed that we used. We did lots of fishing and sat at the firepit every night! I would say the ONLY negative was the water/dock area. Would be great to have easier access to put the kayaks in and a better area to tie up the boat and be able to get in and out. Bond and his wife were great at communicating and always answered my questions right away. Overall a great place for a nice getaway!"
