As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
If you ever find yourself looking for a place to stay near Mason City, skip the chain hotels and make the short drive to the tiny town of Fertile. Here, you’ll find a restored creamery that’s happy to host you for the night.
Iowa's countryside used to be dotted with small family farms, estates, creameries, and ranches.
Over the years, many of these smaller operations have been shuttered - but luckily, one rural creamery has been restored, and you can spend the night in a piece of history.
The tiny town of Fertile, Iowa, was once a busting farm town, and now, it is home to just over 350 people.
Relax with a book by the woodburning stove, or play a game of cards on the table near the bright bay window.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to enjoy a gourmet meal - but you're free to just heat up some pizza rolls if you're not trying to put in that kind of effort.
