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.

Excellent for large group

Came for a wedding celebration in Marion. The house is large and well equipped. Plenty of room for seven of us plus a dog. Felt together but also spread out. Two and a half bathrooms. Huge property to play ball, etc. Would highly recommend for a large group of family/friends!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Nice temperatures, sitting on the front porch early in the mornings drinking coffee and watching the rabbits run around was a great way to start out day.

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!

Historic charm in the middle of it all!

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!!

Wonderful place for family gatherings!

We needed a place for a large family gathering after Thanksgiving Day dinner. This was perfect. We could spread out, have time to nap, room for the little ones to run around, fire place was perfect! Everyone had plenty of room. If the weather would have been warmer we could have enjoyed the day outside more but that’s November in Iowa😄

An awesome stay at the farmhouse

The farmhouse and grounds were a perfect spot for us to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday. Everyone loved it. The house itself is beautiful, complete with amazing woodwork and authentic creaky hardwood floors. I felt like I was back in my grandparents old house!

John is a great host. He answers all questions and gives information about not only the home itself but also he let us know that there would be road construction when we were there. It was very helpful to be aware of ahead of time.The house and property was just as he described it. We enjoyed the land around the house especially the big fenced in yard for our dog who had plenty of space to run outdoors. We were pleased to see so many deer on the far side of the property each morning as well. It felt like we were away from city life but there were still stores, restaurants, etc. just a short drive down the street.The hiking/biking path was within walking distance which made for a convenient place to explore both on foot and on bikes.It is close to Cedar Rapids so there was a variety of things to do and places to see as well.

Reunited

We were reunited with our foreign exchange student from 3 years ago! It was a very special time. The house worked out great for us. The location was good. And what was very helpful was all the extras that were provided. Tue kitchen was well stocked as was the laundry facilities! And the porch was fantastic! We would stay again!

Small Vietnam vet reunion

This house was built in 1910. It is gorgeous inside with much of the original woodwork and oak floors and is furnished with beautiful pieces from that era. Even though this property is within city limits, we felt like we were staying in the country. Our host, John, was very kind and accommodating and easy to reach if we had questions. We would definitely stay here again
