Suite 2 is a 250 sq. ft. room and a private bath.

This listing is for Suite 2, a large 1250 square foot bedroom with a king bed, and private ensuite bathroom with shower and separate soaking tub. There is also a guest living room and kitchenette on the guest wing shared with guests from the two other rooms. Other areas of the house are shared. There are two outdoor cameras. One is located on the carport and monitors that door and areas to the south including the parking area. The other is on the kitchen patio and monitors the driveway The space One Orange Centre is a 5907 sq. ft. home built of native limestone and redwood in 1965 by two of of Frank Lloyd Wright's students. All three renovated guest suites are available for rest and quiet relaxation in the hills above St. Donatus, Iowa. Every room has a view of the Tete Des Mortes Valley. The suites are separate from the rest of the house with its own kitchenette and entrance. There are ongoing smaller restoration projects still underway here in other parts of the house. This restoration is an ongoing labor of love for FLW architecture and the peace and quiet I felt the first time I set foot on this estate. Electrostatic air handling throughout the house with a separate air zone for the guest suites make for cleaner, safer air for everyone. Two of the suites have king beds, the smaller suite has a queen bed. Each room has a large en suite bathroom with a shower and separate soaking tub. There is a separate guest kitchenette. There are some smaller ongoing projects to complete the full restoration of this house and on the grounds. The current rates reflect this minor inconvenience. The views are spectacular. The sunsets can take your breath away. Plenty of parking. Kalmes' Restaurant is just down the hill if you choose to go out for an authentic Luxembourg lunch or dinner. Many restaurants in Dubuque or Bellevue will tempt your appetite. The main kitchen is available for the occasional meal or celebratory feast for guests. Live music is available nearby in the Gehlen Barn just down the hill or at several nearby venues. Bodhi and Bella, and Beto, my Great Pyrenees dogs, are gentle giants who primarily stay in my office/ bedroom wing or in the dog run. I must warn you that like all Great Pyrenees, they do shed, but, they are kept off the guest wing unless guests want them to visit. I vacuum twice a day to keep this at a minimum. They are often alerted before the ADT system and are available for walks around the 25- acre property. Guest access There is a separate guest entrance off the south of the house where the deck to the third floor is located. When you arrive, you will be given the access code to the guest door at the rear of the house on this deck. I prefer that you only use this door for coming and going. Too many lost keys over the past four years. The whole house except my private quarters are available to share. Meals can be prepared in the main kitchen with advance notice. During your stay I live here and am generally on premises either on my office /bedroom wing or in one of the barns or greenhouse well away from the 1900 square foot guest wing. I can set up an itinerary of things you can do nearby, brewery tours, wine tastings, state parks, exploring local caves, tours of other local Mid Century homes and buildings. I am also a creativity practitioner and creative problem solving facilitator , trained at SUNY-Buffalo State, so if creative problem solving sessions can also be incorporated into your stay. One Orange Centre is a place to Begin and to Begin Again, a place with luxury hotel-like accommodations in a scenic country setting. I am currently working on developing a farm-to-table program where people can work in the garden and tour and experience other sustainable and innovative agricultural projects. You can always call or text me if need be. I spent over 4 1/2 years on the road with WICKED in hotels and BnBs. I have tried to provide the kind of experience here that I most enjoyed while on the road. Other things to note No pets are allowed to be left unattended, even in a crate as my Great Pyrenees are by nature guardians and alert when they hear dogs barking in the house. Please contact me about day care and local kennel options. I want your visit to be as pleasant as possible for your dog as well as you. While the kitchen is available to guests for the occasional meal now and then, the kitchen is not equipped for longterm daily cooking. There is a private kitchenette on the guest wing.
