About this property

"A Taste of Heaven" 3-bedroom house in Fairfield with WiFi, A/C & east entrance

Enjoy this unique and tranquil getaway, where all you will hear is a cacophony of birdsong. Enjoy the 2 mile walking trail that meanders through the exquisite 60 acres of secluded woods and pristine prairie. Just a one minute walk away is a beautiful 1 acre pond with canoe. Overlooking a small, organic, sustainable hobby farm, it is located just 4 miles north of Fairfield Iowa, where Oprah visited and declared it to be "America's most unusual town". Your place to relax and recharge.
The property has an East entrance as does the house. You are first greeted with a view of the beautiful lotus pond which is in full bloom from June - August. The driveway takes you across the dam, around the garage and up the hill to the "cottage".
The cottage has an open layout for the living room, dining and kitchen. Hardwood floors throughout.
There are 3 bedrooms; the master with a queen bed and half bath, the second bedroom with another queen and the third bedroom has a double bed. The full bath is shared by all.
The brand new stackable washer and dryer works great, and the washer prefers less than more detergent.
Dine inside while watching deer and other wildlife through the six foot windows, or enjoy your morning coffee outside on the deck listening to the myriad of birds. We once had an ornithologist visit the property and she said she had never seen so many different types of birds in one location!
The kitchen has pretty much anything you need to make a decent meal, including blender, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishwasher, stove, refrigerator...
The living room has a smart TV, so please remember to bring your passwords for Netflix, Prime, Disney, Hulu... A small desk has a an ethernet cord for direct connection, and of course WIFI is available.
There is also a wood burning stove in the living room. This stove is actually a wood burning furnace which is extremely efficient and effective. Not really for casual fires or summertime use, it is intended as a heat source in fall and winter.
Outside there is a wooden sandbox with sand toys, and a very cool tree swing. In the back of the cottage is access to the 2 mile walking trail that meanders through forest and then opens onto an exquisite, private prairie. This property is really magnificent.

Very relaxing
This is a very cozy and peaceful property. The only downfall was not having more time to sit and enjoy the beauty and quiet. Wayne and Pam were very kind and even gave us fresh veggies and invited us to their bonfire. The kids wnjoyed
