The cows are ready to meet you at New Day Dairyâs GuestBarn in North Iowa! Cow gaze 24/7 while âsleeping with cowsâ in modern comfort! The loft features 2 large windows overlooking 150 cows munching their âcow saladâ, lounging on the âbeachâ, or heading to be milked by âRita the Robotâ! You'll be fascinated by following one of the "painted" cow's life in the barn. Get up close to the cows & calves on guided intro & farewell barn tours! Welcome to New Adventures, Authentic Cows, and Comfy Beds!
The non-smoking GuestBarn sleeps 9 people (with an optional 10 in a pack in play). With 3 separate bedrooms all with their own bathrooms you'll be comfortable during your stay. A beautiful garden out front along with the expansive Iowa horizon can be enjoyed from both the porch or the patio (complete with gas fire pit).
Every stay comes with an Introductory & Farwell Tour plus a DIY continental breakfast! Enjoy hard boiled eggs, Dutch letter pastries (!), yogurt, granola, and more at your own pace. Use the fully stocked kitchen for your meals or dine in (or out) at local restaurants.
Guests are NOT allowed in the barn, near calf area, or in pasture unless with a farm tour guide. This is for our guests safety as even the nicest animal can be unpredictable and machinery does need to operate on the farm. Of course, our insurance likes this too.
You'll need a vehicle you're willing to drive on gravel to get here. In the winter (Nov-Mar typically), a 4WD or AWD vehicle is recommended as the gravel roads & our driveway can become snow-packed and icy. It's all part of the authentic farmstay experience.
Area Information: 3 hours from Minneapolis, 2 from Des Moines, and 5 from Kansas City sleeping with the cows is a great way to spend a weekend outside of the city! Clarksville is 10 minutes away, Waverly - home of Wartburg College - is 20 minutes, and Charles City is 30 minutes to the north. Each of these communities has great activities & restaurants if you're planning to spend multiple days in the area.
