Curl up on the green Victorian couch with locally roasted coffee or tea… or enjoy a magical dinner inside the conservatory under twinkling lights and lush greenery. Drift off in our oversized treehouse-style loft bed—larger than a king, with oversized blankets and a plush pillow-top mattress under a vintage covering, evoking the nostalgia of a pleated retro van. Wander through scenic woodland trails, relax in a hammock, or gather around the fire pit for those crisp evening chats. Our Victorian conservatory is open for you to lounge among the plants. 🌿 Now offering elopement add-ons—create an intimate, enchanting celebration in our one-of-a-kind setting with our on site photographer.

Grilling utensils are provided, but please bring any additional cookware you may need. The 14x30 cabin features an attached porch, dining table, living area, coffee bar, and a retro fridge with freezer. Climate-controlled with heat + A/C. WiFi is available via hotspot. The loft includes bedding, oversized blankets, a comforter, and pillows. Please note: access requires using a ladder. Bathrooms are located inside the conservatory with fully tiled, open waterfall showers. You will need to walk to the conservatory, as it is not attached to the cabin. Towels are provided, but please do not leave personal items in the shared space. Enjoy the fire pit area in our flower field—firewood is available. You’re welcome to cook over the fire or use our pop-up grill. This is also our designated smoking area; we ask that guests refrain from smoking elsewhere. Winterset // Madison County is full of hidden gems—hiking, kayaking, and exploring await. Our Hallmark-worthy town is just 10 minutes away, offering charming shops and cafes. The Holliwell Covered Bridge, a historic beauty, is just half a mile down the road and marks the last stop for kayaking adventures. ⚠️ Note: Another cabin is located on the opposite side of our woods. While you’ll have plenty of privacy, you may share the fire pit and bathrooms during your stay. Guest access Our property is part of our private residence, but don’t worry—we’re not as close as you might think! While it’s usually just us here, we also host weddings, elopements, private events, retreats, tours, photoshoots, and classes on occasion. Aside from weddings, these may take place during your stay, but we’ll always do our best to inform you in advance. Who knows—you may even want to join in on the fun! You’re welcome to wander the property, relax in the conservatory, explore the trails, or cozy up by the fire pit. And don’t be surprised if you run into a fluffy chicken or two! 🐓✨ We do have a sweet all white kitty named Beetle that roams around the property looking for cuddles. Our pup, Benny, stays close to the house or may roam around with us. Other things to note The first thing you’ll notice upon arrival is our “Iris Aisle” sign on the fence. Pull into the driveway parking area and enter the property through the woods. The cabin is about 100 feet from the parking area, so be prepared for a short walk. We’ll leave a yellow cart out for you to haul your things. 🌿 Seasonal Note: If you’re visiting in winter or spring, you may encounter muddy areas—this is the countryside, after all!
