This was the most restful overnight stay ever! Drove up from the Des Moines area to hear my Sons band so we were road weary when we arrived. We had time to rest, freshen up and make the show. After the concert we all had a great time in the den. Sleep came effortlessly. We awoke to a fab breakfast. Check out was easy and without rush. We would repeat this stay if we got the chance *****

Amazing stay!
I travel ALOT for work, and rarely have time to leave reviews for each place, but this one is a MUST. Beautiful, super clean and well-appointed rooms, idyllic setting, staff (Sue) was wonderful, and the breakfast was delicious - I highly recommend the owner's egg bake recipe. I was even greeted by the local deer population at the front entrance upon arrival. It was a welcome change from generic hotel rooms. My room had a working fireplace and hot tub, which was a much appreciated in Iowa winter after a 6 hour drive. I can't wait to be back in this area for another stay. May need to bring the hubby for a nice romantic weekend getaway this summer, and explore the beautiful grounds!

The Oakwood Inn is first rate in every way--perfect location, beautiful inn (we had the entire third floor), amazing grounds, delicious food, and gracious hospitality. We would highly recommend a stay with Bridget and Bill. Plus, they are pet friendly for a small fee.

Bridget & Bill are wonderful hosts and always willing to help with anything around the inn or make suggestions for off the property. The property itself is lovely as are the rooms. It backs up to a nature area with paths right up to the inn property for walks or bike rides. The property grounds are beautifully landscaped with several large sitting areas. Each room also has its own outdoor table & chairs. Bridget’s breakfasts are truly something to write home about! All in all, a great place to stay.

I love the peace and quiet of this charming bed-and-breakfast also loved that it was adults. Only the rooms were beautiful and spacious and the food was pretty good too. I don’t care for ham in any of my breakfast, but I just picked it out of my breakfast. great selection of coffee, tea, hot, chocolate, I love the peace and quiet of this charming bed-and-breakfast also loved that it was adults.
