A unique farm-stay in Southern Iowa Turn off your phone and unwind on the porch with a beverage while watching birds and distant grazing cattle. Mulberry Cottage Farm Stay has a pond view and is situated on a 200-acre working cattle ranch and is divided by a wading creek and hiking trails. You are shaded by Mulberry and Osage Orange trees, home to frequent birdlife. We love the solitude and rest here on the farm while still enjoying a short drive to town. Fresh sourdough bread with Mulberry preserves, and farm fresh eggs are provided for your breakfast. Experience where your food comes from by visiting our farm store, gathering eggs, or tasting vegetables out of the garden. Your eyes will be opened to our sustainable practices and how agriculture related activities can be fun and rewarding. Pitch hay, try pond fishing, call the cows, view wildlife, or attend the Indianola Farmers Market. You can watch how farmers and ranchers conduct daily animal husbandry and steward the land and surrounding environment. Consider visiting us as you cycle across the great state of Iowa during the 2024 https://ragbrai.com/. Be reminded that this is a working farm/ ranch where lanes and driveways are dirt and gravel and surfaces may be uneven. ## Property amenities ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Kitchenette - Microwave - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 336 square feet ## Similar properties ![Indoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/910000/906800/906757/f3609ccb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quality Inn Indianola Indianola - Pool - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 7.8 Good 529 reviews £57 includes taxes & fees 27 Apr - 28 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-27&endDate=2026-04-28&selected=906757&PinnedHotelID=906757&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22690000/22689900/22689811/7be013fc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hotel Pommier Indianola Indianola - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 9.2 Wonderful 444 reviews £78 includes taxes & fees 6 Apr - 7 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-06&endDate=2026-04-07&selected=22689811&PinnedHotelID=22689811&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94960000/94957700/94957654/97040da8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Iowa Abode Near Knoxville Raceway!
