What a weekend!!!

We were lucky enough to have an intimate family wedding here and everything was perfect. John and Kari are wonderfully accommodating hosts and the property could not have been more perfect. Located continently near anything you need but tucked away enough to feel like a real get away. The historic vibe and peace of Fairview Farm is just what we need wanted for our special day.

Such a beautiful property and home. The indoor space was beautiful, historic (so much fun to look around at all the decorating) and comfortable. I wish we would have had longer at the house to enjoy the outdoor firepit. It has such a nice area outside to sit and catch up. Aside from the firepit, there were two picnic tables and the porch was georgous. Beds were so comfy, plenty of extra blankets. Even the towels they provide were wonderful. Kitchen had everything and more. Highly recommend this home if you're traveling to Cedar Rapids or Marion.

Girls weekend trip

The house was amazing. Clean, comfortable beds, everything you need was there. So relaxing for our girls weekend. Close to shopping and food but relaxing like being in the country sitting on the porch with a coffee and a good book.

Beautiful old farmhouse!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful old farmhouse. The house was exceptionally clean. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. There was lots of land to walk our dogs and the very large fenced in area for an off leash romp was a bonus. There were six adults in our party, and we had plenty of room to spread out. It was a great stay!

This is an excellent place to stay for those family gatherings - Loads of room to spread out - inside and outside. The house is gorgeous with so much charm, it’s clean and updated with everything you might need. There is an awesome fenced in area for your dog to run jump and play. Hands down one of our favorites. We hope to stay here again!!
