Great Stay
We loved everything about the Cabin and the stay. It was clean and perfect for our weekend getaway. The bed was comfortable and the cabin had all the furnishings you would need. The Bison were right outside the door and we loved watching them while enjoying morning coffee. Traveled into town to eat a few establishments. Would return for another stay!

The perfect midwest getaway
I have family in the area and was able to finally book this rental, as it's always been unavailable when I was visiting. This Vrbo rental was the best one I've stayed in the Grinnell area. Super clean, cute, and decorated so nicely for the holidays. It's a small house, but the open floor layout makes it not feel very small. Highly recommend, can't wait to stay there again.

Super cozy cabin. It’s bigger than it looks from outside. Very comfortable beds. Enjoyed sipping coffee on the deck while watching the bison. We will definitely stay here again.

The best!
Great property and amazing property owners! The cabin is awesome, clean, comfortable and super relaxing. The property owners are the best and worth the stay just to meet them. I screwed up my booking and they bent over backwards to help me out. Thank you! We’ll be back next year and staying 2 days next time….

Wonderful experience
Property was great and both Karl and Beth were super hosts. Karl spent a lot of time with us telling us about the bison business as we watched the herd. Kitchen was probably one of the best equipped ones we have seen in all of our VRBO experiences.

At home with the bison
We stayed in this unique, unexpectedly convenient home away from home for four days. It's comfortable, well appointed, and one of a kind. Open floor plan with large breakfast bar and island to accommodate homemade meals if desired. Lots of extras show the care that has been taken to make your stay a pleasant one. You can truly make your time here whatever you like-- tranquil farm/ranch stay or fun adventure getaway for the kids. Older kids will love the lofts! The bison visited in their pen (+/- 20ft from the cabin) every night at around 8pm, making for lasting memories! Grill available at the cabin, but we chose to eat at area restaurants--10 min to 1hr drive away, depending on your preference-- all reasonably priced, delicious, and with very friendly service. The property owners couldn't have been kinder or more responsive. Keep in mind, this is a working farm, and you may hear occasional equipment. Not at all disruptive and adds to the charm! Loved seeing the owners' horses and learning a bit about farm/ranch life from the owner when shopping in their small gift shop (gifts, themed items, and bison meat products available for purchase). One word of warning: There is one toilet and one walk-in shower in the cabin. The shower may be difficult to maneuver for larger, disabled, and/or elderly guests. Worked well for us, but could see it being a concern for some. Overall, we would highly recommend Sunset Hills Bison Ranch!

Wonderful Girlfriends Trip
We rented the cabin at Sunset Hills Bison Ranch and we had a great time. The cabin was super clean, had all the amenities we could ask for, and was warm and cozy. We had fun viewing the bison, quite a good sized herd. I would like to go back again in the summer when we could grill some bison meat from the retail store. Definitely would recommend! Bethany was great!
