Mulberry Cottage Farm-Stay. A unique farm-stay in Southern Iowa

Turn off your phone and unwind on the porch with a beverage while watching birds and distant grazing cattle. Mulberry Cottage Farm Stay has a pond view and is situated on a 200-acre working cattle ranch and is divided by a wading creek and hiking trails. You are shaded by Mulberry and Osage Orange trees, home to frequent birdlife. We love the solitude and rest here on the farm while still enjoying a short drive to town. Fresh sourdough bread with Mulberry preserves, and farm fresh eggs are provided for your breakfast.

Experience where your food comes from by visiting our farm store, gathering eggs, or tasting vegetables out of the garden. Your eyes will be opened to our sustainable practices and how agriculture related activities can be fun and rewarding. Pitch hay, try pond fishing, call the cows, view wildlife, or attend the Indianola Farmers Market. You can watch how farmers and ranchers conduct daily animal husbandry and steward the land and surrounding environment. Consider visiting us as you cycle across the great state of Iowa during the 2024 https://ragbrai.com/. Be reminded that this is a working farm/ ranch where lanes and driveways are dirt and gravel and surfaces may be uneven.

Secluded and quiet get away.

This is the perfect place to unwind and unplug from the daily grind. It was wonderful to catch up on life while not having the busyness all around you. We loved our stay and will be back again. Also the sourdough bread was amazing.

Cute Farm Cottage

Mary Lynne had amazing communication with us from the moment we booked. It’s a super cute little cottage and they had delicious mulberry jam! We had to cut our trip short so we weren’t able to see everything but they have a beautiful property!

I loved the cottage...very clean and cute...the road getting back to it needs a little clean up...smoother...we drove our Dodge Challenger...we ended up bottoming out...we drove my brothers car back that night so that was fine...and just one more thing, but not a big deal...need to have a few more outlets or extention cords available. We love it tho and I will be back sometime.
